Hi there,
http://repo.openpand...games.kamiretro
My name is Steven Craft and I work for Paw Print Games, and independent software development company, based in Chester, Cheshire UK. About a year ago, we ported a few of our titles onto the Pandora, however due to a firmware/driver issue we were not able to release, luckily it appears with the latest firmware/OS (well, version Zaxxon-HF6.zip) the issue has disappeared! The title is called KAMI RETRO and has already been released on several platforms including:
As stated, this is a commercial release, I have set the price point to be 1.99 GBP which is around 3 USD. The price point does vary a little between platforms and I hope the community are happy with the price chosen. In an ideal world I'd like all of our games to be free on all platforms and have as many people as possible enjoying them, but of course when running a company there has to be some goal of generating money, otherwise we aren't able to fight another day and release more titles!
The game is gesture driven, in other words you use the stylus to swipe the screen. You tap on the green entrance to release the KAMI soldiers, then swipe them up (to jump) or left/right (to change direction) with the goal of getting them to the red exit. There are various components to help you on your way (fans, springs, bounce pads, levers, etc.) but also various components that will need to be avoided! I know it seems a shame not to use the excellent controls offered by the Pandora, but as you progress through this game, you end up having to control multiple KAMI soldiers at once and it isn't a system which lends itself well to nubs, DPAD or keyboard.
The game is set over 5 themes, with over 75 levels, multiple playable characters and about 25 in game achievements.
More details of the game can be found on our website post here and I have included a YouTube video below of a couple of levels running on the Pandora (if you Google you'll be able to find many other videos on other devices of various parts of the game).

Please let me know if you have any feedback/problems, and all things being well, I look forward to bringing more titles to the Pandora in future.
EDIT : New build just uploaded (1.0.0.3), it hopefully fixes the issue some users reported with the touch not always responding.
