Official Meizu MyStore Applications Thread

[Err0r]

Here are some of my initial thoughts...

Positive:
- The Tetris clone (Mytris) is super smooth and an example of what games on M8 could look like and that the Meizu M8 is capable of great games.
- The "falling" game (clone of PapiJump on iPhone) has a setting for the English language. Hopefully, more developers will translate their apps in the future.

Negative:
- We will probably never see apps like Facebook or Twitter since those services are not used in China.
- The developer pages are all in Chinese which will hinder any English-speaking developer.

What are your thoughts on the newly launched MyStore?

[silenteve]

great but need english..

[jangwoohyuk73]

Yep, again, app store is so promising but it need to be propagated in English also, 'cause Treasure Box app only supply Chinese version - too inconvenient and useless #_#

I think the store may be a good idea regarding developer support. Having a store means Meizu has to support developers, like providing SDKs, etc. I don't know in what way Meizu already supports independent developers, but if support gets even better, there could be even more apps for the M8.

That should probably read:

- We will probably never see apps like Facebook or Twitter since the gov-ern-ment blocks any social media or user-generated service that hasn't reached a "working agreement" with the relevant authori-ties or that they outright have no control over.

Twitter was growing rapidly in China before it was blo-cked; in it's absence, there are at least half a dozen homegrown Twitter-like services that have sprung up and are crazy-popular. No doubt you'll see one or more of them on the M8 soon, if not already.

[Err0r]

Yeah, true. Not available hence not used. The homegrown services are not viable alternatives for us outside the country.

Whats the falling game??

[Err0r]

This one: 重返地球：空降

[RaZ0r2k7]

Not really like PapiJump in my eyes o0 PapiJump looks more funny :>

[Err0r]

PapiJump is more polished. I call it a clone because:

1. Similar hand-drawn graphics style
2. Similar vertical gameplay (here downwards, instead of up)
3. Similar control scheme; tilting left & right.

Still, one of the better games in the MyStore.
