Zenonia, the mobile role-playing game which has been doing superb business on iPhone since the middle of last year, has finally made its trip to Android – a fact that will help no end in boosting the rather low profile of gaming on Google’s format.
Here are a couple of images, courtesy of developer Gamevil. We’re excited because they’re LANDSCAPE:
Sadly, Zenonia requires Android 1.6 and above in order to run – a fact that’s triggering a moderate amount of user confusion over on Twitter at the moment. So remember, the game won’t show up on your phone’s Android Market listings if you’re not running 1.6 or above.
Here’s the full press release, for completion and extra FACTS:

Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

/ March 28, 2010I’ve been following this since it was announced at the beginning of the month that this was coming and the moment it came out I snagged a copy of this game and have been loving it since then. I wasn’t surprised it was for android 1.6+ at all and hopefully manufacturers will stop releasing phones with 1.5 of them at some point in our life time.
A lot of people are also complaining it does support multitouch (lol?) or physical keyboard controls which I think should have been included in the game, the physical keyboard part that is.
