Pacific Fleet on Kindle Fire HDX ?

Onkel Neal · 03-04-14, 06:58 PM

Kindle uses a bastardized version of Android, right? Will PacFleet run on it, and how do I load it on my Kindle?

We're about to release the game through the Amazon App Store and are currently going through the process of supporting Kindles. Hopefully it should run on any Kindle that supports Android 4.0 and above.

I believe Amazon does not allow Kindles to access the Google Play store. Seems they want to keep their app distribution solely through the Amazon store.

That's what I thought, I'm really disappointed with Amazon regarding their direction to handicap the Kindle. Shame, it would have made a great tablet, but as it is, I really can only use it for reading books. Which I could do with a Surface Pro and the free Kindle app...

If you are able to adapt PF to the Kindle, be sure to let us know.

Perhaps you'd be willing to test the build for us? Ready access to kindles is a bit limited for us at the moment.

I hear you're up and running without any issues!
Great start to the Kindle testing.

Yes, I started a new campaign on the kindle as the Japanese. The game plays even better on a 7" screen

Yeah it really shines on tablets.
Just to confirm, you've not encountered any problems and everything is running just as it did on your Android device?

Onkel Neal · 03-14-14, 12:50 PM

Yes, so far so good, no issues to report.

Want for my HDX!

Coming soon! Give us about another week to wrap things up and get it released via Amazon.
