Will Game Pigeon Come To Android

Google is a company like no other. It’s not just about building useful web services, smart home devices, and developing an Assistant that brings all of this together. They go to great lengths to make sure their employees are happy and comfortable working with them. That's evident from all the hidden games that they have crafted over the years across a number of Google products like Search, Earth, Chrome, and more.

1. Dino Run (Chrome)

Most people who work online for a living don’t move away from their computer when there is no Internet connectivity available. Enter the T-Rex. One of the fiercest predators to walk Earth. Try opening any website in Chrome, and you will get the No internet error.

Now press on the ‘Space’ button on your keyboard to begin the game. T-Rex will continue to run and you can jump using the Space button to avoid obstacles.

How far have you run?

2. Tic Tac Toe (Search)

Ah, the number of hours I wasted playing this with friends. A classic game that might not go out of fashion ever.

Just search for the game ‘Tic Tac Toe’ in Google Search, and it will present you the board right inside Search. Knock on the next cubicle to start playing the game.

3. Pac-Man (Search)

Pac-Man ushered in the golden age of maze games in the late 80s and since then has become a social phenomenon of sorts. It even made an appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, a movie known for its pop culture references.

Just search for the game in Google Search, and it will present you a Doodle that you can play inside Search.

4. Atari Breakout (Search)

Did you know Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs designed Atari Breakout? Learn how it inspired the former to build the Apple II computer. Anyways, to play this classic game, go to Google Image search and type the name.

The search results, images, will now rearrange themselves to create the popular game. You will use your mouse or arrow keys on the keyboard to control the bar. Your job is to prevent the ball from falling.

5. Zerg Rush (Search)

This is a cool game. The moment you search for the game in Google Search, you will see small balls falling from the sky that you have to eliminate with mouse-clicks. If they touch the search results, they will disappear.

In gaming lingo, the name means being bombarded by weak enemies who are difficult to defeat because of their sheer number.

6. Flight Simulator (Earth)

Google Earth is a powerful tool and a boon for people who love to travel and visit new places. Did you know you can also fly an F-16 and SR22 plane using the flight simulator feature in Earth?

7. Android Game (Android)

Each new version of Android comes with a hidden game. Depending on what you have installed on your phone, you can play one of these games. Go to Settings and tap on the Android version repeatedly until you see the Android version logo. In my case, it is Oreo.

Now tap on this logo multiple times to reveal a hidden game. Oreo comes with a creepy looking octopus that you can control with your finger.

8. Flappy Bird Clone (Android)

Flappy Bird was a runaway success and for a good reason. It was damn hard to play and highly addictive. Google has hidden a clone, Android Bird, deep inside the Android OS. You will need a launcher like Nova for that. Create an Activities Widget and select Marshmallow Land under System UI.

When the widget is placed on the homescreen, tap on it to launch the game.

9. Text Adventure (Search)

There is a game hidden in Google Search called Text Adventure, where you have to find alphabets. Type Text Adventure in Search and when the results load, press Ctrl+Shift+J to reveal a hidden menu.

If you want to play the game, type ‘yes’ and hit Enter. You will then receive clues as to where you (Big Blue of Google logo) can find your friends (remaining letters of the word Google) red o, yellow o, blue g, green l, and red e. Go hunt them.

10. Google Gravity

Newton changed the world forever when he discovered gravity one. Google wanted to pay respect, and created a game. Weirdos. Type Google Gravity in the search bar and click I’m Feeling Lucky.

Every single element on the page will break down and fall as if gravity was pulling it down. You can now play around with these blocks. Note that links are still clickable and you can still use the search.

11. Google Clouds (Android)

Google Clouds is a game that is hidden inside the Google app on your Android. Open the app. Put your phone in Airplane mode. Now search for anything.

You will now see search results with a round icon with a cloud man waving cheerfully at you. Tap on it to launch the game. It was designed to engage people while they're traveling without an active Internet connection.

We’ve heard a lot about Google Play Games. It was rumored before Google I/O, announced at Google I/O and released a few short weeks later. Google Play Games has been out for a little while now and it’s about time we took you for a stroll through the app to show you what it’s really supposed to do. If you’re not a big fan of reading, you can find the video at the bottom. You can also find the download button down there as well. Let’s get started.

Functionality

Okay so let’s start out with the bottom line. What does Google Play Games actually do? What it does is act like a dashboard for all of your gaming needs on your Android device. Think of it like the Xbox or PS3 dashboard or even the Steam dashboard. It doesn’t do anything cool on its own, but gives you access to the things that do.

So here’s what it does. Using this app you can view all of your games. If those games have Google Play Games support, you can also view things like achievements. It’ll show you all the games you’ve played, the ones you’ve played recently, and the ones you have currently installed. You can also browse featured and popular titles as well as titles that support official Google Play Games multiplayer.

You can view you friends on Google+ who also use Google Play Games. This is both a good and bad thing. It’s great if you have friends who play and you want to find them. It’s bad when you have 1800 people in circles like I do and they all sign up for Google Play Games then don’t play any games. There is the possibility of having a giant list of people who play no games.

Really, that’s about all it does. The things you can do from the app is useful, but the app itself is really just a graphical dashboard for gamers so they can find everything they need in one spot, whether it be games to play or friends to play them with.

How can I use this?

Can Androids Play Game Pigeon

So you’re probably wondering how you can use Google Play Games. Well if you don’t play games, you can’t. This is for gamers only and non-gamers will have a very difficult time finding anything useful about this app.

To gamers, I pose this question. What do you use the Xbox Dashboard for? You see what friends are online and see what they’re playing, right? You can view the games you have downloaded, browse for more games and launch games as well. If you take all that and put it in an Android app for Google Play Games Services, you have this app.

For gamers, probably the best use for this dashboard is finding multiplayer games. More specifically, popular multiplayer games that use Google Play Games Services and that people actually play. This is an epic improvement to Android if you’re a social gamer. By social gamer, I’m not talking spamming your friends with Candy Crush invites, but like actually game online with people.

What we liked

So here’s what we liked. It’s a great place to manage all of your Android games. Android has long needed something to kind of combine the Android gaming experience into one, solid spot and this fills that hole perfectly. Mobile gamers now have an interface with which to build and enjoy their gaming networks.

Is Game Pigeon Coming To Android

It’s early on, but more and more games are adopting the Play Games philosophy. Before long there will be achievements, cloud saves, and proper multiplayer available everywhere, all under the same Play Games dashboard. We find there’s nothing wrong with that. We do like that it keeps track of all games, not just those that have Play Games features.

What we didn’t like

Google still has a lot of work to do but it’s mostly little stuff. For instance, you can view achievements and friends who play games. But you can’t narrow down your search for all your friends who play a specific game or view all your achievements at once. It isn’t a big deal but some search filters and other ergonomic improvements would’ve been nice.

The people section doesn’t get narrowed down based on who actually plays games. Instead it seems to list everyone in your Google+ circles whether they actually play games or not. We have a whole Google+ app to pay attention to non-gamers who want to #caturday on Wednesdays. We felt that maybe those people should have been filtered out here so we could pay attention to our gamer friends.

Google Play Games Final Thoughts

Does Android Have Game Pigeon

Overall, this is a really awesome idea that’s implemented, for the most part, really well. Giving gamers their own interface to track and interact with their games is kind of a must have these days since PC gaming and console gaming both have similar dashboards for their gamers.
