Many people are heavy gamers. These mostly include games on consoles and pc.  I for one, am picking up a habbit of being a heavy smartphone gamer.  Wierd as it is sounds, it’s actually true. Today am going to share with you the games am currently running on my phone and maybe some others I have probably played on other people’s phones.
So without further ado, let’s get right in.

1. At number 1, I have a game called Leo’s Fortune. This is an amazing game that was put together by 1337 & Senri LLC – crazy name.
You have to solve a multitude of puzzles while dodging many obstacles which in a mixture of events, makes the game challenging and very interesting.

2. At number 2, I have Virtual Table Tennis. Being a reigning University champion in both table and lawn tennis, I have to be constantly training since this doesn’t come easy. VTT is so on point that you can play with another player over bluetooth or an Internet connection. This game has no stutter whatsoever. Great stuff from SenseDevil Games

3. At number 3, I have Free Flow. This is puzzle game that uses logic. You have to connect dots of different colors without crossing a pipeline of another colour. It’s really awesome since at the end of the day, it tests your IQ and improves your focus.

4. At number 4, I have Duet. A purely addictive game that has a blue and red dot. Blocks be falling from up and all you have to do is dodge them by touching on either side of the screen. It might sound easy not until the blocks start dropping while rotating or even disappearing. I finished all the free levels here and I don’t want to buy others. So I robound it. Awesome stuff from Kumobius.

5. At number 5, I have Think. This is a game whose genius interface was put together buy develepers from June Software Inc.
Here, symbols are thrown at you and all you have to do is to answer the questions and advance to of course harder challenges. If you can’t think, you can’t go past the first 10 challenges.
image

6. At number 6, I have Riptide GP2. This is a really nice and graphics intensive racing game. You ride on one of those speeding-boat-motocycle thingys, I believe they are called JetBoats.
You have probably seen MKBHD using it to test the display performance of new flagships. Crazy at it sounds, it does not frame-skip nor do the graphics appear pixilated. I don’t know how the guys at Vector Unit did it oba it’s my beast of a phone that has out of the roof specs…
image

7. At number 7, I have Nun Attack: Run and Gun This is some great stuff from the guys of Frima Studio Inc.
When playing this game you choose one of the sexy nuns and run while shooting evil beings. These evil creatures are zombies, vampires, werewolves and other spooky things. You have to jump, duck and run to pick up coins and other power ups to unlock more nuns and other crazy things.
image

8. At number 8, I have Temple Run 2. This is no new game on the Top Games. Well, I have played it for years but it is always throwing in crazy treats round about Holidays. During Easter for example, all the coins turned into eggs and I unlocked some bunny guy with 40 gems. It’s still on my list because am always on a challenge to beat my own high score.
image

9. At number 9, this spot is for Temple Run Oz. This is another version of Temple Run based on that disney story, “Wizard of Oz?” so here you will see ballons, flying monkeys and instead of evil monkeys, these creatures have wings and do fly. You have to watch your step as some routes do collapse. There are no water slides and mines here but as the game progresses, you have to unlock journies on your own. I find it a little harder than Temple Run 2 but all it needs is getting used to. Get it at only $1.99
10. At the 10th spot, I have Candy Crush Saga. So addictive it is. This needs no introduction. There are other versions by the way, I have played Soda Crash so far and some other Chinese knock off called Cookie Crash. Lol
11. At the 11th spot, I have Matatu from Kola Studios. Purely Ugandan game. This game was a mind blower when it had just been released. It inspired a lot of folks to start developing apps. Well, as for now; I think it has hit the wall in innovation. Unless these ninjas at Kola studios rejuvenate this game, it will be in the same spot or I will drag it to that little corner that says “uninstall”.
12. At the last spot, I have Logo Quiz Ultimate . So addictive in the first stages but as things get harder in later stages, it becomes really annoying, so after this post… Am going to uninstall it.

Just to throw in a few extras, Google chrome has a dinosaur that comes up when your internet connection has been cut. You can make that big guy jump cactus trees. Crazy stuff from google. Also get Maze Runner, a Temple run knock off based on that stupid movie.
Well, that’s my list… Feel free to share with us some of the games you have on your smartphone or tablet via Twitter @Guru8Tech , @Boses8 or @LastUfoundRemmy. If that’s a lot of work then hit us up on facebook.
Catch you in the next one. Peace ✌

Kaymu Uganda has proven to be not just any other e-commerce website. Uganda’s Number One Online Marketplace recently took it to the next level, partnering with the Rotaract Club of Kampala City in the support of an initiative recognizing the necessity of Maternal Health Care in the country. The Rotaract Club of Kampala is a volunteer organization made up of various business and professional leaders who aim at helping to build goodwill and peace in the country through a number of humanitarian activities and just causes, health being one of the key interventions.

This year, the maternal health care campaign was developed to generate awareness and build recognition towards the growing necessity in the country. Maternal health care has been a pending issue in Uganda as even the maternal mortality rate has proven to be devastating. The initiative aims at granting women access to high-quality maternal health care services through cooperation and partnerships with community leaders, companies, women and health workers to understand and address the reasons for the vast records of maternal sickness and the rising death rates for the women and children living in unbearable conditions.

Kaymu, in conjunction with the Rotaract Club of Kampala City, held an annual literacy quiz Understanding the Maternal Health Challenge; A week-long event that ran from the 23rd of March to the 28th Grand Finale. The Rotaract Club of Kampala City is supported by Rotary Club, a large humanitarian organization that carries out a wide range of community service projects in various parts of the country. The event, which was held at Sundowners, identified the need to generate awareness and share ideas concerning Maternal Health Care. Kaymu’s Country Manager, Justin Christianson, also took some time to sensitize those that were present, on some of the advantages of e-commerce and the benefits of partaking in the buying and selling of products online. The event attracted companies from far and wide including the New Vision, Axial, Urban Tv, Nyange and DFCU, as well as nearly 30 Rotary clubs in Kampala and 50 Rotary Clubs Up country.

The event managed to yield up to USD. 10,000 from both foreign and local sponsors, but nonetheless, the collaborators called upon the public to take this initiative into their own hands as the mothers of our nation are the foundation of our existence. Kaymu also launched an online campaign towards the cause by enabling online buyers to donate 10% of their purchase costs towards the maternal health care initiative. This can be done by simply typing # MaternalHealthMatters in the comment box upon placing their orders. Alternatively, Kaymu also allows buyers to purchase charity products or items should prove to be necessities towards the maternal health care initiative, e.g. mosquito nets, appliances, health products, and many others, all of which are availed at affordable prices on kaymu.co.ug.

MTN Uganda will change its customer care number to 100

By

MTN will change its customer care number to 100 because of a series of directives from the Uganda Communications Commission. This change will require users to forget the rather almost unusable 123 customer care number and dail 100 which is the customer care number after Sunday 19th April 2015.

This follows a previous directive by UCC to have all Telecoms have the same customer care number and previously the same short codes for loading airtime. MTN Uganda and Utl had to change their codes to *131* amd *130*……# for checking airtime balance and loading airtime respectively.

Such directives are necessary for the sector but the nature of the law as regards to technology is very slow and directives are passed rather late which requires key players to force their users to adapt to new changes. I mean think about the less tech savvy who are now force to adapt to change of short codes and numbers.

However it’s not all bad news considering that new entrants will adopt the law as they join and switching from one telecom to another won’t require you to tune your brain to master different short codes and customer car numbers.

As of today telecoms are spending on advertising and sending users SMS to notify them of change in the customer care number.

Dialing 100 now connects you to customer care.

Red Lipstick

A rich red or burgundy shade of lipstick is something that you are most likely to find in any lady’s hand bag. Whether it is a casual brunch or a date after work, red lipstick can work wonders and change your look from casual to classy. Be sure to take note of your skin tone when buying your lipstick though. Luckily, there are many shades of red to go around, so go for it!

 

Pastel Shirt

A pastel or white shirt is one of those evergreen classics which will never go out of style. This too can be versatile and can help you work the look in an office environment or even a casual night out. Most women prefer a blouse which is slightly fitted because something that is too loose could make you look boxy and that’s definitely something you do not want!

 

Trusty Heels

The term “killer heels” is a cliché for a good reason. A pair of heels can absolutely transform any outfit that a lady may choose to wear. Whether it’s a business meeting or a night out in the town, nothing helps boost your confidence like a pair of heels! The best heels strike between balance and comfort and at the same time manage to add the extra oomph!

 

Blue Jeans

Another classic like the white shirt is the pair of classic blue jeans. Fitted, versatile and high on the comfort quotient, blue jeans fit in with every season and every kind of outfit – moreover they can also transition from casual to formal in a jiffy!

 

Little Black Dress

When in doubt, go for a little black dress, like the legendary Coco Chanel. Before a night out in the town every girl spends at least an hour debating over what to wear – which is where the trusty little black dress comes in! It is important to get the best fit and style so the dress is indeed trusty.
