Boom beach is one of the hottest military strategy games out
there right now, bombarding iOS and Android users with tons of fun from morning
to night. In this game, you will be in charge of a military base which you need
to develop and improve, turning it from a desolate and uncharted island into a
powerful military base – a force to be reckoned with in the archipelago of Boom
Beach.
Although Boom Beach is now available for Android devices, it
wasn’t always that way – a situation which brought about the apk versions of
the game. Before we delve further, let’s take a look at the issue first so we
can better understand why apk versions for Boom Beach came to be.
The Issue: No Boom Beach for Androids
Boom Beach was released and published by the game developer
Super Cells, the same company that gave the world the super successful game
Clash of Clans. However, the release (which took place sometime in November
2013) was exclusive to iOS run mobile devices only, and no version for Android
was released at that time.
There were many speculations about why Super Cells only
released an iOS version of the game. For one, many people thought that this was
actually a plot by Apple, who accordingly paid Super Cells to release the game
exclusively to them, in order to attract the Android patrons into switching to
iOS. Another train of thought was that this was Super Cells’ way of testing
their new app product. They wanted to test the waters first before they
actually released the game worldwide, and they found Apple to be the willing
lab rat. Well, these were only speculations, and nobody was ever to bring out
any evidence that supported any of these claims, and so they remain to rumours.
I guess whatever the reason was, we will never have the privilege of knowing.
Anyways, allowing the game to be played only by iOS users
caused a lot of requests and clamour from the many Android users who wanted to play
the Boom Beach on their devices (whatever happened to the concept of sharing?)
And since Super Cells (or Apple) showed no intention of releasing the game to
Android run devices, the apk versions of Boom Beach started to appear.
APK Versions of Boom Beach
First off, an boom beach cheat codes file allows you to install an app for your
Android run device, so when you download this file, you can install apps and
programs without the need to access sites like Google Play. In fact, you don’t
even have to be connected to the internet. You can install these files even if
you’re up in Mt. Everest.
Now since no Android version of Boom Beach was available at
that time, coders and hackers from all over started creating leaked apk
versions of the game so that Android users can at least have a piece of the
action. They were pretty successful, and in return gained the thumbs up from
many Android users around the world.
