Update 6/21/11: The game just went live on the Amazon Appstore, go get it!

P.S. Unavailable on the Hero and XOOM but available on the Tab 10.1 and EVO? I can maybe understand the Hero, but the XOOM?..

Update: According to the comments, the game should work on devices listed as unavailable - you just have to buy it in the web version of the Appstore and then download as usual within the Appstore app. Odd stuff.

Phandroid's just been tipped that the absurdly popular puzzle game Peggle will be heading to Android (finally) tomorrow - via the Amazon Appstore. And it will remain there exclusively for 2 weeks - meaning European and other non-USA Android users will be stuck waiting for a Market version that should be coming July 5.

This, of course, is the third Popcap title to see an exclusive Amazon release. Plants Vs Zombies and Chuzzle were released via a similar exclusivity arrangement last month.

If you're not familiar with Peggle, check out Popcap's webpage.

    THIS IS AWESOME! One of the most amazing puzzle games of our time! SO EXCITED! Have been waiting for this since the birth of Android! :D

  • 3rd....chuzzle....plants vs zombies.....now peggle

  • Any chance this one will be compatible with Moto Droid 1?

  • YESSSS!! I've been waiting for forever...

  • 2 week exclusivity just like it's been with their other games? Yeah right. Shame on Popcap for neglecting most of the World. I don't stoop to piracy myself, but am aware of many who have due to Popcap's retarded attitude to non-US Android owners

  • Zombiestuff says:

    Is their any reason we dont get iphone games like cal of duty zombies and fight night,id really like to see this happen

  • non-us users can still get them using a fake amazon account

  • Matchstick says:

    Also marked as unavailable on the Transformer for seemingly no good reason ?!?

  • still no love for the non-US customers out there?

    what a way to encourage piracy!

  • you said "Update 6/21/11: The game just went live on the Android Appstore".
    Please change that to "Amazon AppStore", we don't want users to believe that Amazon's store is the default/best option for Android. It's not.

  • Why the hell is it supposed to be working on my HTC Magic, but not on my Dell Streak? *facepalm*

  • Doesn't work on the Acer Iconia A500 either.

  • I use a workaround to get the Amazon App Store in the UK but gutted to see it's not available for the transformer. First they do exclusives on app stores, now on specific devices as well?!

  • i'm so sick of US-resident-only services it's gonna make me move to some random US country.. grrrr what's with Europe! people actually live there too if you didn't notice :D

  • Amazon Management says:

    It's weird to think there are other countries besides the US that might have computers or even phones. I know Canada doesn't have them because they're too cold and not smart enough. Isn't the United Kingdom just a Disneyland theme park? Every where else just seems to be places we bomb or should bomb like I am hoping we do to that place called France.

  • yeah bomb us and we'll shut up :D

  • It works on the Xoom. Just use a PC to "buy" it, then use the Amazon Appstore App on the Xoom to download and install it.

  • Yup, did that a couple of minutes ago as well, now working on my Streak.
    However it was a pain in the *** to get a working proxy, as I'm not an US resident. For those out there looking, try UltraSurf (ultrareach.com)

  • Why are the graphics so terrible!? It looks like they stretched it... Seriously peggle, put some work into your games. A simple port always sucks. Plants Vs Zombies has the same problem.
