Microsoft's First Android Game "Kinectimals" Released

Microsoft has launched "Kinectimals" for Android after releasing this Xbox game for iOS. The company also released Xbox Live for Android recently.

Kinectimals had been released for Windows 7 and iOS for quite a while and now Microsoft made its debut in Android with this game. For those who do not know much about this Xbox game, it's a game where people get to raise their own cuddly virtual pet. Players have to take care of the pet in an island called Lemuria. People interested to take on challenges or interested to earn coins and points can try mini-games. These points and coins can be used for purchasing virtual items.

An interesting feature of this virtual pet raising game is its camera mode. Users can capture their pet's photo in a complete photography studio with lighting equipment. Xbox owners who have already played this game in their console might feel bad as the Android version does not feature storyline mode like its Kinect version. Parents who want to download this game for their children can read the playing manual first to make things easier for their children.

This standalone app is available in Google Play Store now for $2.99. It's rated E which means people of all ages can enjoy this game. So far, the game has received 4.6 average rating. Its only 170 megabyte in size so downloading this app is easy. Android users using Android 2.2 or higher will be able to play this game.
