Buy Sprinkle!

Am I missing something or did you all just get the game from shady sources? No matter what I try Sprinkle will not appear on the market with Chainfire3D.

You have to install the Nvidia plug in and then apply the Market fix, then it should show up.
 
The game was updated today and now supports non-tegra devices. Not sure exactly how many, but the E3D is one of them as I can now purchase it from the Android Market.

However, I have not tried it.

If it wasn't for Nvidia this game would likely never have been made for Android. It's limited to Tegra devices because Nvidia paid the developer to make it for them.

That would be a first, usually they just snap up games already under development.

Any proof of that is it just a theory because it's tegra game?
 
Am I missing something on the Tegra spec needed or something about my phone?

I have a stock HTC Desire HD and as far as I am aware, it has no Tegra 2 chip, yet it runs Sprinkle perfectly.

Plus, its a great game! Tried the free one, now definitely getting the paid version.
 
I don't know if it's because I'm running Th3ory or not, but the market says my Bionic is not compatabile. Yet it thinks that my Droid X is compatabile...

Interesting that nvidias marketing discribed this as optimized for the dual core with physics handled on a seperate core.

What a load of crap. :D

I don't see what would prevent thread management in the app to take better advantage of dual cores.

However, with all the hooey that marketing uses to re-explain what devs really do, I won't argue that at the same time, it might be a total load. :D

Anyway - seems like everyone is agreeing that for whatever reason, it's a great game. :)

Nothing at all to stop that but the way they marketed it implied it required dual core to run properly yet it runs perfectly with slower single core processor.

I think maybe we have different ideas of what taking advantage of dual core processors actually means, I don't think spreading the load when it's unnecessary really applies.
 
I'll buy mobile apps, but I never normally pay for mobile games (I've never been a big mobile gamer), but after having spent most of the yesterday tying to get full points/blue dots (or whatever they are) in the free version, I ended up paying for the full version.

What an awesome little game! :)
