The LG G3’s QuickCircle case gets its first game, and the idea is to pop puppy heads

LG has released Puppy Pop, a game designed to be played on the G3 smartphone, but with the QuickCircle folder case closed. That’s right, it’s one you play through the small circular window, rather than on the 5.5-inch, Quad HD display hidden behind it. It’s no surprise to learn this isn’t a graphics-intensive first-person-shooter, but something a little more simple: A match-three game.

According to LG, the idea is to match three or more identical puppies, draw a line across them, so they “pop.” Sounds nasty, but we don’t think there will be any exploding puppy heads in this game. There’s a time limit imposed on your puppy popping, and the object is to score as many points as you can.

LG launched the QuickCircle case alongside the G3 smartphone just before the summer. A double tap of the circular screen wakes it up, where you can view messages, adjust settings, handle your music, or even take a picture, all without opening the case itself. LG promised that developers would be able to utilize the feature in their own apps, and has released a software development kit to make things easier, but has obviously felt the need to show them the way.

The Puppy Pop game will be free to download through Google Play later today, July 23, but to get in on the puppy popping mayhem, you’ll need to own an LG G3 smartphone, and have it wrapped up inside the QuickCircle case.

Pokémon Unite tops the list of Google Play’s Best Games of 2021

Pokemon Unite characters.

In its usual end-of-year retrospective, Google has announced the Best of Play winners for 2021, highlighting key apps and games that Google feels made the most positive contributions to the world of mobile over the past year.
For the first time, Google has also expanded these awards beyond the Android smartphone platform this year to include apps and games on tablets, Wear OS, and Google TV. The awards recognize innovation in app and game development, and in making its selections, Google looks for apps that challenge the norms by “introducing unique gameplay features and giving users never-before-seen experiences.”

Pokémon Unite took the Best Game of the Year award for 2021, beating out top picks from previous years such as Genshin Impact (2020), Call of Duty: Mobile (2019), and PUBG Mobile (2018). Google cited the dynamic gameplay and cross-platform experience of Pokémon Unite as its key merits, while also giving honorable mentions to independent developers that it says are “creating imaginative and personal gaming experiences.” The runners-up this year were notably both indie developers: George Batchelor for Bird Alone and Annapurna Interactive for Donut County.
Masaaki Hoshino, Producer for Pokémon Unite, thanked Google for the recognition, adding, “All of us who worked on the game are very honored to receive such an award,” particularly as this is Pokémon’s first strategic team battle game. “We tried to distill the best parts of the MOBA genre to create a new kind of game,” Hoshino added, while also candidly admitting that he was “unsure if it would be well received by players around the world.” The Pokémon Unite producer says he’s thrilled to have the affirmation that his team is on the right track and plans to continue improving the game and making it even more exciting.
Google Play also acknowledged winners in five more specific categories, including Best Competitive, Best Game Changers, Best Indies, Best Pick up & Play, and, for the first time, Best for Tablets.
Once again, Google also ran its Users’ Choice awards to give Play Store users a chance to weigh in by voting on their most popular picks. This year, the vote for Best Game went to Garena Free Fire MAX. Previous Users’ Choice award winners include SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off (2020), Call of Duty: Mobile (2019), and PUBG Mobile (2018). Although the 2018 and 2019 Users’ Choice matched Google’s own pick for Game of the Year, this is now the second year in which the user vote has gone in a different direction.
As for apps, Google noted that apps focused on personal growth continued to be in high demand throughout 2021, and its top picks reflected that.

Pixel 3a confirmed to get Android 12L even as Google winds down Pixel 3 support

Google Pixel 3a XL hands on.

With the announcement of Android 12L, Google shared a list of Pixel phones expected to receive the beta when it began the testing period in December. While the Pixel 3 was understandably absent, Google also didn't include the newer Pixel 3a -- which was taken as an indication that it was likely not going to get the newer Android version when it rolls out. Fortunately, that's not the case, as Google confirmed to Digital Trends over email that it was an oversight and documentation would be updated shortly.

According to Google, the Android 12L beta will be going out to the following Pixel phones: Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6, Pixel 5a with 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 4a, and Pixel 4. It will not be coming to the Pixel 3, which received its last guaranteed update with Android 12. The Pixel 3's exclusion is a little weird, though. Launched in May of 2019, Google promises updates for up to three years post-launch. As indicated by the company's Pixel software support list, this means the Pixel 3a should expect major updates through May of 2022.

5G-enabled billboard in Times Square briefly brings interactive game to masses

Picture of Time Square.

If you've ever wanted to play a game with random strangers while standing in the middle of Times Square, well, your prayers were briefly answered on September 8 and 9.

Using the Mega Screen billboard located at 1500 Broadway and West 43 Street in Manhattan, bystanders could scan a QR code with their smartphones to participate as an "interactive spectator" in Streamline Studios' 2020 co-op game Bake 'n Switch. Those who did so were able to jump in and play part of the game without having to download or install it.
