AcceSnake is a “Snake-like game” developed by CmoaToto which uses the accelerometer of your phone. For the first time in a snake game, you can move in any direction, slow down, and accelerate just by moving the phone. You can cross your tail but don’t touch the wall or you will loose a life.
Developed in Python, this game has been entirely coded with a text-editor, on a N95 8GB.

Mobbler, Mobile Scrobbler, is a last.fm radio player and scrobbler for Nokia S60 3rd edition smartphones. It allows you to listen to your last.fm radio stations and to scrobble tracks played using the Nokia S60 Music Player. Music player scrobbling can be done both whilst you listen, or queued offline to be submitted later.
Warning: Please note that the radio player functionality of mobbler will use a lot of data. The makers of Mobbler can not be held responsible for your phone bill.
Mobbler should be compatible with all Nokia s60 third edition mobile phones.

This program is for any person who likes to listen to music while getting sleep. Now you don’t have to worry about the music player running all night, if you fall asleep. Give “Sleep Music” a specified amount of hours and the program closes itself then.

Sam Loyd’s famous “Fifteen puzzle” game for S60. The idea is to shuffle the pieces and then reorder them again from 1 to 15, leaving the empty space at bottom right corner (place of number 16).

Totally useless but fun little script. Can be used WITH and WITHOUT Sensor API (use arrow keys).
Turn your Sensor API phone to roll the balls to given direction. Each time there is movement, also the color changes a little bit.
Enable background bubbles or tiles for more fun visual images.

Paparazzi is a sensor game, where you have to help “Movie Star” (big yellow dot) avoid “paparazzis” (small red dots) as long as possible. You can do this by turning and tilting the mobile phone.
This is an experiment how to use raw Sensor API data in game play. It’s pretty usable – you don’t have to turn your device 180 degrees to go from one side to another.
However movement is too jumpy and would require smoothing down. There are several possibilities how to do that.
