Varanda is working on a Caminandes game - Gaminandes! So far, he has released versions for Blackberry and Android. The game contains proper credits for the Caminandes team and also contains a support message for the Gooseberry project.

Hello All,
I created a small game for Smartphone inspired by the amazing "Caminandes: Gran Dillama". Due many limitations for mobile platforms I had to simplify a lot the graphics.
All 3D work was done in Blender, 2D in Gimp. The game engine is gameplay3d.org
I improved an existing Blender Gameplay's scene viewer addon and the addon is available here. I recommend gameplay3g for Blender game developers if targeting Smartphones.
Gaminandes is now available for BlackBerry 10 devices in 2 versions: Sponsored (free) and paid ($1.99).
Next week it will be available for Android if I solve some non-tech issues. Windows port in on the way as well.Meanwhile, have fun with the following short video that I created to provide some tips:

Thanks a lot for covering the release. Last night have also I released for Android (I would say a Beta version). It is not working for some models due the diversity of hardware. As the game engine uses NDK it narrow down more the spectrum of compatibility. Please help reporting if it is working or not for your device. Please do not forget to state which model you have (Settings->Details). I hope that this game motivates people to re-watch the amazing movie and share with their children. Thanks Blender.org Caminandes.com and gameplay3d.com.
