Hill Climb Racing now available on Windows Phone

Hill Climb Racing, the rather popular Android game that has seen over 50 million installs from Google Play has found its way onto Windows Phone.

The game which is published by Fingersoft sees you take control of Newton Bill in order to get your vehicle as far along as many different tracks as possible up hill and down slope whilst trying to defy the laws of physics.

Game features:

16 different vehicles with unique upgrades (many different vehicles: bike, truck, jeep, tank etc)Upgradeable parts include engine, suspension, tires and 4WD15 stages with levels to reach in each (Countryside, Desert, Arctic and the Moon! +++)Share your score with a screenshot with your friends!Cool graphics and smooth physics simulationDesigned to look good on low resolution and high resolution devices (incl. tablets)Real turbo sound when you upgrade your engine!

Meet Newton Bill, the young aspiring uphill racer. He is about to embark on a journey that takes him to where no ride has ever been before. With little respect to the laws of physics, Newton Bill will not rest until he has conquered the highest hills up on the moon!

Face the challenges of unique hill climbing environments with many different cars. Gain bonuses from daring tricks and collect coins to upgrade your car and reach even higher distances. Watch out though – Bill’s stout neck is not what it used to be when he was a kid! And his good ol’ gasoline crematorium will easily run out of fuel.

The best thing about Hill Climb Racing is that it is free.  Totally free.  A game that can be completed without making use of the available in app purchases and where good progress can be made easily.  Be warned though, if you download this you will almost certainly end up wasting far too much time, far far more than you actually should in pursuit of those extra few metres!!

Hill Climb Racing can be downloaded for free from the Windows Phone App Store

Hill Climb Racing – Android and iOS recommended app

Time wasting.  There are plenty of apps that can be classed as time wasters, games that you can dip in and out of, a quick read of social network feeds whilst waiting for the kettle to boil and so on.

One such game that can firmly be put into that category is Hill Climb Racing published by Fingersoft.

Hill Climb racing is great.  Let’s make no bones about it.  It’s easy to play and very very addictive.

The aim of the game is simple.  Get your chosen vehicle (there are 14 of which 13 are unlockable via progression throughout the game) as far along the track (14 of these too, unlockable as you go along!) completing tricks and stunts along the way to  earn points with which to upgrade your automobile in order to get further along the track and collect more points and so on and on….

A simple concept, great graphically and implemented superbly, Hill Climb Racing is one of those games that you load up and before you know it half an hour has passed and you are thoroughly engrossed.

The game is ad supported and also offers the option of purchasing more coins via in app but this is by no means necessary, excellent progress can be made without resorting to spending any money.

When you have made good progress you can boast about it by sharing your score via Twitter, Facebook or Google + and updates are made on a regular basis.

The developer says that the game has been optimised to run on both lower resolution and high resolution screens.

So if you fancy a really good little time waster for absolutely no money then you could do far worse than take a look at Hill Climb Racing, available free on both iOS and Android.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing now on Android

One of my little boys favourite games on the iPad, Sonic & SEGA Kart Racing, is now available on Google Play.

SEGA has today launched its popular kart-racing game Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing on Android.

There’s AiAi of Super Monkey Ball fame, Ulala from Space Channel 5 and Ryo Suzuki from Shenmue, among others.

The gameplay should be familiar to anyone who’s played Mario Kart or any similar racers — race around a bunch of tracks from various game worlds and use power-ups to get ahead of the pack.

Naturally, there’s also a multiplayer mode allowing you to pit your skills against your friends.

SEGA All-Stars Racing is available now on Google Play, priced at $1.99 in the U.S. and £1.60 in the UK
