App of the Week (9/25-10/2): “Red Card Rampage” UPDATED!

Here are badaforums, we have a great growing community who believe in Bada and are loyal to the OS even during its growing stages. We also have a great group of developers that post there ideas here just looking for feedback. Well, I was surfing the forums looking for a good “App of the Week” app and I came across “Red Card Rampage” that was developed by forum member: Makani!

Red Card Rampage is also avaliable on the iPhone and Android platforms but according to the developer, “The Bada version is the best”. The game is going to be available on the original Samsung Wave first and later will be released on the Wave 2 and Wave 2 PRO!

So, what is the game about?

Red Card Rampage lets users let out bottled up emotions when a bad call is made during a sporting event. This app will allow you to go on a rampage kicking soccer balls at the refs stupid bald head! I can see this being a big hit and very addictive game for any sports fan (in particular a Soccer fan)!

How to play:

In short, Red Card Rampage allows you (the stationary kicker) to hit all the refs you see. Once you hit all the refs in a particular level, you will then progress to the next. Do so without losing too many soccer balls, and you are rewarded with up to three stars for each level.

Design and Gameplay:

Red Card Rampage has a very interesting design to it and has a total of 36 levels. Each level is not only different but also composed of fans, switches, moving objects, spikes, and multiple soccer players that you can pass to.

In order to aim and add power to your kick, you simply control the game with your finger and the ball will follow the on-screen arc!

Badaforums Opinion:

I believe that Red Ball Rampage is a great game for any sports fan whos team has been screwed by a ref on a bad call. The game is based around Soccer but is just good for anyone who wants to hand the refs some payback! With 36 levels, it is a fairly decent sized game that will not get boring! The design is great, the graphics are great, and combine that with a great developer…you’ve got a winner!!

South African Wave Owners Get FREE Navigation for Life

Samsung South Africa is treating its Wave users with a free life-time license of Route 66 navigation. Samsung has provided a list of IMEI numbers (of Wave devices sold in South Africa) to Route 66, which on synchronization will unlock the life-time navigation license. However, this navigation is only applicable for South African maps.

Users can click on Contents in the Route 66 app and select to sync the license key.

App of the Week (9/19-9/26): AccuWeather Clock

clock

The “App of the Week” for this week is the Accuweather clock and widget! I must say that it is one of the most beautifully designed apps and widgets I have seen yet for Bada. While most people will probably still use Weatherbug to get indepth weather coverage, the Accuweather widget is nice for an on-the-go quick check of the weather.

On the home screen, you get a nice analog clock with time dials, today’s date, a beautiful picture of the weather forecast for that day, and the forecasted hi/lo. Below the clock, the city is displayed along with the time is was last updated.

When you click the widget, it opens the Accuweather application and again, the design is absolutely wonderful! It is clean, easy to see and use, and just looks great! The main part of the app will show the current conditions and temperature but below that, you will see an extended forecast along with options to view the weather hour by hour, radar/satellite, and a detailed forecast.

The application and widget can be set to update every 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours and you can have multiple cities as well.

Pros:

- Clean and easy design

- Accuweather is a reliable source

- Easy on the battery

- Beautiful

Cons

- Somewhat limited in features

- Some of the links open up the browser instead of staying within the app

App Information

- Price: FREE

- Size: 4.32MB

- Category: Utilities

- Badaforums Rating: 4.5 out 5

Overall, this is one of the most beautiful widgets on Bada and it opens into one of the most beautiful and easy to use apps for weather. I highly recommend it and you can download it in the Samsung App store!
