Samsung, tired of its own-brand app store playing second fiddle to Google Play, has decided to throw some of its considerable cash at the problem. It’s appealing to indie app developers in the hope of finding the next Angry Birds big thing. In partnership with Chillingo, EA’s mobile games division, Samsung is launching “100 percent indie,” offering bedroom coders commission-free sales on any of their apps for the first six months of its life. After which, Samsung will take a 10 percent cut, with that fee rising to 30 percent after two years — matching the fees charged by Google and Apple’s services. Now all we need is a Simon Cowell-type to judge which new apps have that… je ne sais quoi.

Chillingo, the notable game developer responsible for publishing the extremely popular Angry Birds and Cut the Rope, has just launched three new games on Google Play. The game publisher already released a couple of games on the Android platform. Games like Spider Jack, Roll in the Hole, and Office Gamebox Free are a few of them. Today, it is adding three more – Feed Me Oil, Harry the Fairy, and Draw Race 2: Racing Evolved. Let’s take a closer look. Essentially, Feed Me Oil is a great game to test one’s mental skills. Your goal will be to get the oil from the broken pipe into the mouths of the strange creatures, and you will be given tools to solve the puzzles.
