The folks from Disney Pixar have an epic adventure movie soon to be released by the name of Brave and to help promote the movie, they've teamed up with the folks from Imagni Studios to create a new twist on their hit game Temple Run. Rather than just changing up the characters to match the movie, Imagni and Disney Pixar worked together to create a custom version of Temple Run with exclusive features built in:

• Introducing ARCHERY for the first time – tap targets to shoot a bullseye and earn extra coins
• New, amazing visuals
• All new environments inspired by Disney•Pixar’s “Brave” and the wilds of Scotland
• Play as Merida from Disney•Pixar’s “Brave”
• Outrun Mordu, the demon bear Disney•Pixar’s “Brave”, to earn running glory
• Bonus: download Temple Run: Brave and start running with $0.99 worth of coins for FREE, that’s 2500 coins for power-ups and more

Temple Run: Brave is available in the Google Play Store right now for only $0.99 cents. Of course, that is more than the standard version of Temple Run which is free but we'll leave it up to you all to decide if the extras are worth your hard earned coinage.

Angry Birds Seasons Updated

 

 

There are some things in life that truly are dependable. Christmas Day is December 25, day turns into night, and Rovio will keep giving us new Angry Birds levels. In the case of the latter, today we get yet more new levels, 30 to be exact, to the Angry Birds Seasons extravaganza. However, this time, things are a little bit different.

Piglantis, as the new levels are known, brings underwater action to the Angry Birds for the first time. As with Angry Birds Space, there is a whole new set of game physics to go along with the new territory -- hint, pigs don't float. No longer is it OK just to fire and be happy, you now need to work out how the birds will 'fly' while under the water. Nice. It's actually quite challenging in places, and a welcome departure from the regular gameplay. 

The update is live in the Google Play Store now, so head on over, grab some goggles, and away you go. Download is here

The update to HTC’s OpenSense SDK is now available for download

One of the ingredients in the Android Fragmentation soup is the extra UIs that companies like Samsung and HTC add on top of the standard Android interface. These extras help differentiate one company’s phone over another. The problem is that for app developers to make use of these extras they need access to a software development kit which exposes the relevant APIs.

HTC’s SDK is called the “OpenSense SDK” and according to the phone maker, it “enables deeper integration into the HTC Sense experience.” To do this in the HTC OpenSense SDK, which is available as an Android SDK add-on through the Android SDK manager, provides access to the HTC APIs from within the standard Android SDK platform.

A little while ago, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, HTC announced that it would update its SDK with more features. With the new SDK, app developers are able to integrate access to their apps from the HTC lock screen, or add dual screen capabilities using Wireless HDMI. There is also support for HTC’s Sound Enhancer and new Common Controls.

HTC are claiming that the new SDK allows developers to differentiate their apps on HTC hardware, without fragmentation. The “without fragmentation” is emphasized by HTC as the SDK gives the app an easy way to detect if HTC Sense is present and then act accordingly (like offering lock screen integration etc).

The updated HTC OpenSense SDK can be downloaded from here.
