Sprinkle lands in Android Market, will support NVIDIA quad-core processor

Gaming

Game publisher Mediocre officially released its new game “Sprinkle” on Thursday. Sprinkle currently runs on dual-core Tegra 2 devices but will be one of the first titles to support NVIDIA’s upcoming quad-core processor, currently codenamed “Kal-El.” We installed Sprinkle on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and, while it is definitely worth the $1.99 purchase price, we found it to be a pretty difficult puzzler. The idea is to use a large water spout to put out fires before they burn down the homes of the citizen’s you’re trying to save. You’ll need to lower or raise your spout and angle it correctly in an effort to douse the flames before you run out of water. There are a number of obstacles, such as large rocks, that make your fire fighting more difficult. The graphics are a bit mediocre, however, so we’re looking forward to the magic that Kal-El will add. If you plan on giving it a whirl, here’s a tip: to unlock all 46 levels just tap 5 fingers on the home screen. Sprinkle is currently available for $1.99 in the Android Market for Tegra 2 devices. Read on for a second image of the game.

      Graphics are mediocre? Puhleez graphics for this game are quite good. And it runs fine on my Inspire 4G with chainfire 3d. Screw this game fragmentation.

    Great little game. Bought it for my Xoom yesterday. Well worth it for users of Tegra 2 powered devices.

    The use of the word fragmentation is getting ridiculous. You can apply the word to ANYTHING in computers. Not being able to install this app because you don’t have the supporting software is a SOLUTION to the complaints of fragmentation, not an example. Just like on an actual computer, if your device is out of date, it won’t run everything. The market will block games or apps your phone doesn’t support (I know this because it’s a bit of a pain with custom ROMs).

      The same game runs on an iPhone 3GS from June 2009, but cannot run on a Nexus S from this December.

      That pretty much says it all.

      Outdated hardware/software issues and developing apps for particular carriers, OEMs, markets, chips are not the same thing. Users shouldn’t have to check a list to see if an app is available for their device or have to hunt it down in one of several markets or forums. Verizon – Check, HTC – Check, TI-OMAP – Crap! Android is open and devs can do what they please, but it sucks for end users (at least the ones that are up on what apps are out/coming out).

  • Which way is Up?

    I wish I could play this on my Sensation… :(
