    Anyone else get "Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath"?


    I have been replaying it at the Normal level over the past five days and completed the first 12 bounties (2/3 of the way through the game).

    The game has defiantly got replay value, because I'm still enjoying it the second time through it.

    Heard of a new game called Odd Bot Out
    seems pretty good

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinmagni.oddbotout

    Note: Odd Bot Out (Free) contains 10 free levels and a one-time in-app purchase to unlock 90 more. There is also a paid version of the game, with no in-app purchase, simply called "Odd Bot Out".
    GAMEPLAY
    Each level in this contraption puzzle game presents a new challenge. Build a bridge across a (small) abyss. Hot-wire a rocket launch. And ride a robotic centipede, like you always wanted to.
    FEATURES
    - Play 10 levels for free
    - Unlock 90 more with a one-time in-app purchase
    - Wheels, motors, rockets, buttons, circuits, wires, and more
    - Stress free, creative, non-violent game play


    Link is for the free version to try it out.

    Started using this yesterday. It is a really simple to do list app with an easy to use completed check function, a clean widget interface and notifications.

    There is a pro version but it's not really worth the money considering that there are other more advanced to do list apps out there that are cheaper. But if it's simplicity that you want, I'd highly recommend this.

    Aren't ram cleaners debatable to use on Android? I know this discussion has taken place here before and I don't want to drag it off topic, but they aren't useful apparently

    QuizUp

    Trivia/quiz game in which you can compete against people all over the world and your friends in real-time. There are hundreds of topics, pretty much anything you can think of. There are global and country rankings. I've been playing it for the last week and it's good fun.

    The cleaner is a lot simpler and lightweight imo. Never used CCleaner on android so can't comment on it.

    Clowns in the face is quite addictive. Its free, there's also tennis in the face which you have to pay for. Wasted way too much of the past two days on clowns in the face.

    Hating the way that Lollipop has hidden the taskbar notifications whilst screen lock is on, thus you need to unlock the phone to see if you've got a text or whatever, any Lockscreen apps that get them back?

    Go to Settings - Sounds & Notifications - 3 options - When device is locked, Show All or Hide Sensitive Data.
    You can go into App Notifications to define what apps are used & how.
    When your screen is locked you can pull it down to see your notifications & if you tap the sms message for example, you can then open it from the Lockscreen once you enter your password if you've set one.

    I'm sure on my Nexus that the lockscreen shows all alerts and messages much better than previous versions ?

    Ah but you've to engage with your phone to do that, I just want to press one button to wake the screen and see if I've a notification. I've found a way you can do this with Go Launcher
