2 Unique Android Shadowplay Games That Will Blow Your Mind

Gravity Maze

gravity maze android
Of all the fun games that you’ve played as a kid, you can now find and play many of their replicated versions on your Android devices. This one in particular is sure to blow your mind, especially if you are in the ‘black’ phase of life or just love to play a fun and intelligent game. A simplistic maze though, as against those that test your mental abilities to the maximum, Gravity Maze is sure to get the ball rolling, literally with an unbelievably cool gravity defying interface and splendid graphics.
We love mazes and use it as the best passing of time. Gravity maze will serve that purpose in particular very efficiently and get you addicted to it for a small period of time too. With a history of getting people hooked this black maze will intrigue you.
Based on the principles of gravity, the game is as though you were playing it on the moon. The game is set in a typical maze format that has a box and interconnected pathways separated by black lines that leas you from the start to the end.
gravity maze levelsAt the start of the maze where you begin the game is a set of bouncing metallic balls. These are special balls that bounce and defy gravity and appear as though they are floating and bounce oh so subtly and gently.
You objective is to simply tilt your screen and manoeuvre your way using your Android screen and your hands to move around.
Each round progresses and gets tougher and tougher and the fun never stops.
On the left hand side is a vertical strip with the level and the score to remind you what pedestal of the game you have reached on. This will tell you the subsequent score and the extra points that you collected on the way.
For those times where you got off on the wrong foot at any particular level, you can also refresh the game and start the round all over.
It also shows you the time that you have spent to complete the rounds.
The game has 45 unique levels to the game to get you moving and grooving in the direction of the gravity defying balls to be in the game.
The graphics are of high quality and laws of physics applied to the game are high end and are visible in the structure of its operations.
With just 3 colours in white, black and grey the entire outlay of the game has been set and thus commenting positively on the graphics is a must.
Don’t forget the atmospheric music that goes on in the background when the game is on.
This helps you all the more to be hooked onto the game and the backing voice overs make for a great experience on the whole.
If English isn’t the strongest of your languages, Polish, Italian, Spanish and German are also available as part of the game.
Though it stands to be a little heavy on the phone with 22 MB in size, it makes up for the largness in size when the game is set in play.
So get your gravity helmets on and get playing by downloading this brilliant game from Google Play Store.

Oscura

oscura android
Gaming has been a part of our lives since the advent of Mario, Sonic, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, Space Invaders, Mortal Kombat and many other arcade classics over the years. When arcade gaming was ported to our TV screens through the early day Atari and Nintendo consoles, they completely redefined gaming for us and got us completely hooked to the amazing collection of games they offered.
oscura 1We have come a long way since then as the rise of Android has given gamemakers a whole new platform to showcase their talents to mobile users. The gaming world on the whole took a whole new meaning when the platform gained momentum and finally became the home of some of the greatest new generation games for smartphones.
Oscura happens to be one of the coolest new games on the Android platform that has received unanimous rave reviews from critics and fans and is guaranteed to get you addicted thanks to its combination of high-end graphics, physics engine and innovative gameplay. It’s a far cry from conventional shooter and racing games that come a dime a dozen these days and actually puts a lot of creative effort into the gaming experience.
oscura gameplay
Oscura is a game based in a time and age when a ray of light is cast to keep the dark creatures at bay. At this time the power crystal based in the lighthouse explodes and its shards fly across many nooks and crannies across the island. In the midst of this the darkness takes over the island and your sole objective is to restore the light to the island and bring back light in the darkness filled area.

Top 4 Most Effective Apps for Extending Android Battery Life in 2013

Top 4 Most Effective Apps for Extending Android Battery Life in 2013
Android battery life is a touchy subject among Android fanboys. Even hardcore Android fans have to admit that, on most devices, Android battery life can be sorely disappointing – especially when a device is more than a year or so old.
Fortunately, you can easily swap in a new Android battery and use your Android like new. Or, you could download some of the following battery saving apps, all of which have been approved for your Android handset in 2013. Check em out:

4) Wavelock Detector

Top 4 Most Effective Apps for Extending Android Battery Life in 2013
With a name like Wavelock Detector, you might think that this app has more to do with surfing than saving battery life. The main advantage of Wavelock Detector is that it quietly runs in the background disabling annoying background apps.
You see, ‘Wavelock’ is the term for any app that runs when you’ve turned off your smartphone’s screen. These apps tend to be the largest battery life wasters and many of them can safely be disabled. Wavelock Detector identifies these apps and prevents them from constantly draining battery life.
The battery life savings aren’t as significant as they are with some of the other apps listed here (the app suggests about 5% to 15% battery life savings), but this is still a fantastic, lightweight way to preserve battery life.
You can download the free (ad-supported) Wavelock Detector here

3) Battery Drain Analyzer Monitor

save battery life
The name sounds like something out of Communist Russia, but this app is legit. It’s one of the best ways to analyze your Android’s battery usage – even if it doesn’t exactly save battery life.
Battery Drain Analyzer Monitor comes with the following helpful features:
-Display battery status in notification battery
-Display battery level changes in time for day
-Display battery life statistics for the last 30 days
-Display estimates for how long the batteries will last
-Display estimate for how long it will take for the battery to charge
-Access 3 simple profiles (for day mode, night mode, and battery saver mode)
-Enable and disable Android functions that drain the battery with 5 different in-app buttons
The point of the Battery Drain Analyzer Monitor app is teaching users that the best way to save battery life is to change the way you use your Android. Everybody uses their Android differently, and by analyzing your usage patterns, you’ll be able to determine exactly which activities are wasting the most battery or saving the most battery.

2) Greenify (requires root)Greenify android app for rooted devices

Greenify is an extremely popular app and is regularly chosen as one of the best battery saving apps available today – especially if you frequent community forums or r/Android. Greenify requires a rooted Android in order to work.
After installing Greenify, you’ll be able to block (aka ‘Greenify’) certain apps on your phone. When you block an app, it prevents that app from ever running in the background. The only time that app will run is when you have it open on your screen. This is useful when running apps that you use infrequently but nonetheless remain open in the background, but it shouldn’t be used to block instant messaging apps or your alarm clock app.
The app itself only uses 3MB of RAM and an insignificant amount of CPU cycles and battery power, which means – unlike app killing apps – Greenify won’t consume more power than it saves.
Greenify is free to download or you can buy the $2.99 “donation version” from the Google Play Store

1) Battery Doctor

Battery Doctor tends to be the most popular battery saving app.. It’s available for both Android and iOS and contains many of the features of the apps listed above. It accurately estimates remaining battery time, for example, and features a task killer that can terminate unneeded apps when not in use.
Battery Doctor also promises to use a “unique 3 charge cycle that boosts battery life” and accelerate the speed and performance of Android in other ways. If you’re looking for a battery saving app that has advanced functionality and a simple, hassle-free interface, then this is the app you need.
Battery Doctor also comes with plenty of widgets that allow users to access battery saving functions directly from the home screen.

viruses

Types of viruses :-
The different types of viruses
areas follows-
1) Boot Sector Virus :- Boot sector
viruses infect
either the master boot record of
the hard disk or
the floppy drive. The bootrecord
program
responsible for the booting of
operating system is
replaced by the virus. The
viruseither copies the
master boot program to another
part of the hard
disk or overwrites it. They infect a
comput...
er when it boots up or when it
accesses the
infected floppy disk in the floppy
drive. i.e. Once
a system is infected with a boot-
sector virus,any
non-write-prote cted disk
accessed by this system
will become infected.
Examples of boot- sector viruses
are Michelangelo
and Stoned.
2) File or Program Viruses :- Some
files/programs,
when executed, load the virus in
the memory and
perform predefined functions to
infect the system.
They infect program files with
extensions
like .EXE, .COM, .BIN,.DRV and .SYS .
Some common file viruses are
Sunday, Cascade.
3) Multipartite Viruses :- A
multipartite virus is a
computer virus that infects
multiple different
target platforms, and remains
recursively infective
in each target. It attempts to
attack both the boot
sector and the executable, or
programs, filesat the
same time. When the virus
attaches to the boot
sector, it will in turn affect the
system’s files, and
when the virus attachesto the
files, it will in turn
infect the boot sector.
This type of virus can re-infect a
system over and
over again if all parts of the virus
are not
eradicated.
Ghostball was the first
multipartite virus,
discovered by Fridrik Skulason in
October 1989.
Other examples are Invader, Flip,
etc.
4) Stealth Viruses :- These viruses
are stealthy in
nature means it uses various
methods for hiding
themselves to avoid detection.
They sometimes
remove themselves from the
memory temporarily
to avoid detection by antivirus.
They are
somewhat difficult to detect.
When an antivirus
program tries to detect the virus,
the stealth virus
feeds the antivirus programa
clean image of the
file or boot sector.
5) Polymorphic Viruses :-
Polymorphic viruses have
the ability to mutate implying that
they change
the viral code knownas the
signature each time
they spread or infect. Thus an
antivirus program
which is scanning for specific
virus codes unable
to detect it's presense.
6) Macro Viruses :- A macro virus
is a computer
virus that"infects" a Microsoft
Word or similar
application and causes a sequence
of actions to
be performed automatically when
theapplication is
started or something else triggers
it. Macro
viruses tend to be surprising but
relatively
harmless.A macro virus is often
spread as an e-
mail virus.Well-know n examples
are Concept Virus
and Melissa Worm
