[#SaveXboxWP] Asphalt 8 is NOT an Xbox Title: Let's Mobilize to Reverse the Trend.

On 27 August 2015, Xbox gaming on Windows Phone was dealt a low blow as Square Enix released their first non-Xbox game on Windows Phone, Lara Croft Go . This is all the more surprising and upsetting since this game is spiritually related to the excellent, Xbox-enabled, and recently released, Hitman Go. Be sure to let @SquareEnix @SquareEnixMtl and @laracroft know you want Xbox support in their titles.

On the same day, Gameloft released their 10th non-Xbox game for Windows Phone since returning to Xbox development on Windows Phone, Spider-Man: Ultimate Power. Not a good day for mobile Xbox gaming.

In the face of the double-dose of bad news a few days ago, with both Square Enix and Gameloft publishing non-Xbox games on WP, Game Troopers, right on cue, has come to the rescue to lift our spirits, promising a brand new "secret" Xbox game coming to Windows Phone next week. Man, I love those guys.
 
On 1 September 2015, Game Troopers, a.k.a. the best thing to happen to Windows Phone since Cortana, released their tenth Xbox-enabled WP game via a surprise launch of Imperia Online. The title is free to download and is available for 512MB devices too, so there is no reason not to check it out and support our favorite WP publishers.
 
On 17 September 2015, Gameloft released their 11th non-Xbox game for Windows Phone since returning to Xbox development on Windows Phone, Order & Chaos 2. I'd recommend picking up the prequel, Order & Chaos, instead, as it has Xbox integration.
 
On 22 September 2015, the #SaveXboxWP world imploded as previous bastions of mobile gaming, Game Troopers, after spoiling us Windows Phone gamers with 10 mobile Xbox games in the past 10 months, suddenly released their first non-Xbox game: The Last Door. I don't know what to say, as I'm still sort of shell-shocked by this one. I had thought Game Troopers was doing well because they had smartly targeted the pent-up demand for mobile Xbox gaming on Windows Phone, but their oddly non-committal reply to inquiries on Twitter that they "might add them in the future" seems ominous more than it seems hopeful or reassuring. As always, you can contact @gametrooperswp and let them know your thoughts.
 
On 9 October 2015, righting all that became wrong in the mobile gaming universe, after last month's shell-shocker of Game Troopers releasing their first ever non-Xbox game, Game Troopers is the Prodigal Son returned, releasing the Xbox-enabled game, Briquid Mini, their 11th total Xbox game. The game costs $2.99. If you like Game Troopers and like Xbox games, reward them by buying it, and give them a shoutout at @gametrooperswp to show your appreciation.
 
On 21 October 2015, Game Troopers is back on an Xbox streak, releasing the Xbox-enabled free puzzle game, Runemals, their 12th total Xbox game for Windows Phone. Give Game Troopers a hefty shoutout at @gametrooperswp.
 
On 22 October 2015, Gameloft released their 12th non-Xbox game for Windows Phone since returning to Xbox development on Windows Phone, Trivial Pursuit & Friends. I'd recommend picking up Uno & Friends instead, as it has Xbox integration.
 
On 29 October 2015, Game Troopers extended their Xbox streak, releasing the Xbox-enabled parking simuator game, Trucking 3D, their 13th total Xbox game for Windows Phone. Give Game Troopers a big thanks at @gametrooperswp.
 
On 6 November 2015, Game Troopers did the unthinkable again, releasing their second total non-Xbox game on Windows Phone, free-to-play puzzle game, FusionDot. That makes 2 non-Xbox WP games to 13 games with Xbox integration, so that's good, but this new trend of them releasing non-Xbox games too has me a bit worried.
 
Game Trooopers's Xbox-enabled Briquid Mini is on sale for today only for 99 cents. Details here.
 
On 12 November 2015, Game Troopers released their third total non-Xbox game on WP, Momonga. The world of mobile Xbox gaming is looking precarious.
 
As deutschzuid noted above, on 20 November 2015, Game Troopers got back on the Xbox gravy train by releasing the mathematical puzzle game, Equalicious. And now, on 6 December 2015, Game Troopers released their second consecutive Xbox game Elements: Epic Heroes. That marks 3 non-Xbox games for them and 15 Xbox games.
 
On 3 December 2015, Gameloft released their 13th non-Xbox game for Windows Phone since returning to Xbox development on Windows Phone, Sniper Fury.

On 8 December 2015, Gameloft released their 14th non-Xbox game for Windows Phone since returning to Xbox development on Windows Phone, Country Friends.

On 12 February 2016, Game Troopers updated their previous non-Xbox game, Fusion Dots, with Xbox Live integration. If you were waiting to get the game until they did so, go get some achievements now! This nullifies previously bad UPDATE 108 above and changes their final tally to 3 non-Xbox games and 18 Xbox games!
