Great job!
Searching for it Market gives me:
Code:
There are no matches in Android Market for the search: [B]pname:tommedley.android.game[/B]
Also, downloading the APK provided, installing it on my Android OS 1.5 on my Motorola Backflip, I get the error:
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb install dust.apk
283 KB/s (1876582 bytes in 6.475s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/dust.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
Very nice game. It runs smooth on my HD2. You may want to put up a screenshot or two and give a little description of what the game is.
I made an article for it, which will go live soon. This should provide you with enough feedback.
Tried to install on x10 but fail

I have only compiled against 2.0 for now (and as a result there are some incompatibilities). In the future I will get around to making it work for 1.5+. This would also be why it didn't show up in the market for you, sorry.

I haven't tried the game yet but the instructions has a spelling error. You wrote "Normal - not to bad" when it should be "too." Just a heads up. Going to try the game now.

Nice game aside from the spelling error, you can't exit with the back button in the main menu...
Runs fine on my Magic 32B, with Eclair
Galaxy S
I just tried the Market-version on my Galaxy S but no matter what game or level I choose I only see a blank desktop, nothing else. Home/pause buttons work fine though.
nice game!

That's very interesting. Are you handy with logcat? Would you give me a hand if I sent you a debuggable apk? I'm afraid all I can give in return is kudos
Game works great on my evo (froyo). Same for me with not being able to exit the game with the back button. Home will close it though.

This would be due to me catching and ignoring all back presses . The reason I do this awful thing, is that if you go back from the menus, it will go back to the game, which has finished, and crash the app. (The game itself happens in a separate activity). If anyone can give me a tip on how to avoid this that'd be grand...
Looks fun, I have a Galaxy S so look forward to it's support.
Any chance of helping me debug? I don't know anyone personally with a Galaxy S, so it's going to be impossible to fix otherwise!

I could yes. Right now during the day I don't have a usb cable, but if I can do it all on the phone using terminal if needed that's fine. Later I could hook up if needed. PM me what you need. I'll download the app now.

Some of you might remember the free windows mobile game Shift. It was really easy to play, but extremely addictive.
I waited for an android port for more than a year, and finally when i didn't see it ported i decided to do it myself So, no matter if you spent long hours with this game, of if you never heard of it before, here's a chance to play it on your phone/tablet/ereader/microvave oven or other android device
The game mechanics and scoring system are identical to windows mobile version, however the graphics and coding were redone from scratch since i didn't have sources for the original shift anymore.
I don't have an android market account and it's not likely i'll be getting one any time soon, so grab it here:

Or in the post attachment.
And some screenies:
One day, i'll have to make a youtube video of the game, but i didn't get around to this so far.
Initially, i developed it for myself, but now that i'm satisfied with the results i see no reason not to share it. After all we all love and use freeware apps
It's my first android app and i was learning java, android api and the engine i was using as i went, so it might not be exactly perfectly optimized. But it does work smoothly on a G1, and the graphics turned out rather nice. It also scales properly to other screen sizes (though graphics won't be as crisp of course): I tested it on a motorola milestone and the android emulator with a few other screen resolutions.
I don't really plan to develop it much further, since i'm rather satisfied with it. Sure, i have a few ideas on how to make it work even better an some tricks i learned along the way, but that would probably take a complete rewrite and right now i'm not really in the mood for that So the game is provided as-is, but i might try to fix any really serious bugs.
If you feel like buying me a beer (or helping me get an android market account), the donation button is right above my avatar
By the way, if you think about trying to write your own android game, don't forget to check out andengine. That's a really powerful, and yet easy to use 2D game engine.
I'm getting an Access Denied message when clicking on the link.
Yes, me too.
And I really like this game too. Was playing it while it's available for WM6.1 QVGA screen. It didn't work on my WVGA HD2 last time. So, happy that it's coming to Android..

Oops, sorry about that. It seems that the link worked for me only because i was logged into SlideMe. I'll fix that later, and meanwhile i uploaded the game as an attachment to the fist post.
[EDIT]
It turned out that the app wasn't visible publicly until it got approved by slideMe. The link should work now.
[/EDIT]
Very cool game! Thanks for sharing!
Nicely made game. Thanks!
great port! i'll try it later. thank you!
btw, you should really put this in the market, or it might get stolen.

Thanks! Pretty fun game!
The Link for the WM version its very old! i want to try in my tp2! the version WM, you can upload the wm too pls!??
nice game.... works great on MyTouch4G
Very cool interface. Enjoyable with a high chance of replay.
I second the other member's notion to place this into the market. Your current version is AOK for release.
Perhaps there's another reason why you wont?
this game is fantastic!!! it runs amazingly on my hero, and I love trying to get huge combos!! 5 stars!!!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
EDIT : there seems to be a bug in the app. sometimes when I switch to another app via homescreen or long holding the home button, the gray bar underneath the notification bar that tells the name of the app doesn't go away. and you should put this on the market so we could get the updates.
!!!!!!!
If I'm not mistaken I remember this from my last WM phone (samsung omni) This is a fun game!
Excellent remake.
Makes me wonder though that what this game would be like if it had a mode with accelerometer enabled "physics". Tiles would fall freely to the tilted direction (only one direction at a time in tetris-like fashion) Angle of the tilt would off course relate to falling speed.
It would be the core mechanic with a little bit of action and accuracy.
I tested your game out and it is really good (never played the original), all I can say is make sure you put it on the market as XDA devs have had their apps uploaded to the market by someone else trying to make some quick $$
Cool thanks.
Thanks for the feedback, i'm glad it works on your phones and you like it
As for the accelerometer control, i thought about it, but i'm afraid it would be just something you try and disable, as it will get in the way of the gameplay instead of enhancing it. But if i ever get around to rewriting this game to properly support high-res screens i might try implementing something like that. For now i think gestures control is easy enough. And just in case you didn't notice, the gesture can be performed anywhere on the screen and doesn't have to be long - only the width of a single block is enough.

Yeah, i know the project website is down, but it's still easy to find. However i'm afraid it might not work well with VGA or higher res screen. At least the winMo version didn't work on a HTC Diamond. But i guess there's no hurt in trying.

Yeah, i'm aware of that a**hole stealing other people's work. But right now i don't feel like paying 25 bucks registration fee without even a potential way of getting the money back - google doesn't allow selling apps from my country (yet).
Hi
I remember Shift very well (played it on Ipaq h3970)
Unfortunately I can't run it on Samsung Spica (i5700)- FC right after starting, logcat attached.
Phone config:
-Samdroid 1.3.1(deodexed Eclair, info)
-kernel- Xmister's STD Eclair (info)
-graphic drivers- mixed files from other devices v3 (info, as one of developers I've tested those drivers on everything I could and there were no problems with other apps)

I'm afraid it might be a problem between the engine i used and your device. Could you try running the following app and one attached to this post?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/andengine-examples/org.anddev.andengine.examples
The one above is a demo of the engine's capabilities, and should be compiled against the latest engine version. The attached app is just some random quick test i was doing but it uses the same lib version as shift. So if one works and the other doesn't it will mean that compiling with newer engine version might fix the problem. It will take some time but it's possible. However if none of these work, then i won't really be able to do anyting about it

Rest of tests works fine.

Yes, that is my review on the application. (obviously, since you can see the name matches, not trying to hide it or would of changed the name). I am pretty new to the marketplace and android world, so I am sorry if that is a rule. Is there a rule about not being able to review my own application? If so, I will remove the review, not to sure about that, if I am not suppose rate Google would of disabled it for you? Just like Google disables purchasing your own application from the market. Let me know, thank you. =)
On the other note, please let me know how the application turns out. I'm running it on a Galaxy S phone and it's been working fine on it. Although due to CPU limits load down the game, such as some games lag on my phone but run just fine at normal speed when I run it on a Tegra 2 tablet.
im not trying to disrespect you or anything i just thought it was funny because ive never seen that before. i checked it out to see how it compared to kongregate. im sure your app will get noticed soon enough. good luck.
Great, but the adverts cut off the bottom half - leaving the game play ruined
nice idea though! I've been looking for something like this
Finally, I don't have to cry because Ninja Kiwi wont port zombie trailer park to android!
There has been an update that allows the users to indirectly port the android game through the site for those flash games that even do HTTP Header Referral check.

Did you try New Game -> URL Address -> Indirect Loading?
Edit: I tried loading http://apps.facebook.com/restaurantcity/ through my facebook account in the app and it seems like its an android flash limitation that does not make it load past (Loading -> Initializing Screen).
http://console-cdn.playfish.com/code/2_3_1_13_fp10/console.swf Loads around 10 other .swfs and android flash finally gives up.
Updated Game with Additional Keys and Flash Options.
Would Appreciate any Feedback, thank you.
Been trying Canabalt, and the lower quality version works, but there's a fair delay from pressing the jump button to the guy actually jumping. The high quality one I can't get it started, it asks for X or C to start the game, but it doesn't seem to register any key presses.

Will this work on the Nexus S (considering, that the device does not have an SD Card)?

Yes, the main basic source originates from my business partner, Anderdroid, he definitely gets lots of credit for the base (horizontal, buttons and flash view). I've built off, improved, fixed aspects of it. And also added features that made it the Flash Game Player today. What we agreed on was not to share the source, I mentioned to Anderdroid multiple times when I was building off of it. So there was miscommunication between us. Anyhow, we will be resolving this via MSN.
Cool works well slightly, cause i was trying to play a game that i downloaded off miniclip and it didnt load also after the first level of monster truck, it goes to a blank grey screen with like a play button in the middle and then the program crashes.
Worked ok for one level o nmoster truck needs work, but this is an awesome app 4 out of stars from me, just need it to work on more flash sites and not crash.
Thanks for the awesome app!!

cool game!
Doesn't work in Htc One S. The image of the game is too big and I can`t choose user and password. Tested on Xperia Ray and it worked flawlessly. Maybe its a qHD resolution problem in the game.

Same here, qHD seems to be not supported. It's a shame because this game looks really promising.
1st why do we have to register to play ?
2nd would be nice to have a score
3rd my sheep is terminator first I started jumping then I noticed that he could destroy block on his way ...
[edit] it seems that after register the game start without the hud that why I was asking for a score, when you loose the sheep keep running but the score stops.
Hmm.
On my HOX (latest Firmware, stock ROM) the game starts. But as I try to register and begin to type my username I have no chances on getting to the next input box because HTC has removed the "hide keyboard" button...
Any chance to put kind of a "next-button" next to the input boxes ?

hey, awesome game ive been playing it for an hour maybe more lol :good:
just thought id give feedback. the game seems to make my phone run very hott and uses alot of power, idk if it should but i do have games that are more graphic/cpu intensive and those don't get that bad
there's also a small stutter that happens every so often (Using a Htc Rezound btw)
EDIT: The game continues to run at 15% after rebooting. ive rebooted a few times and it still runs by its self

Wow thanks! Yes I understand that it's cpu intensive. I'm trying to find a way to fix the problem. It's not actually the graphics causing it, as they are simple, but it's the collision detection for the boxes. I have optimized the code a lot already, but I must try and get another way.
And the frame stutter is during every advert change. Also working on this.
Thank you very much for your input

More Animals? It works great on the Galaxy Note II, Sensation (XL) not the qHD one and even my little Arm6 ZTE Blade 2. However it stutters for less than a second when opening the app on the Note 2 however it doesnt annoy me anyway so yeah, 5 stars from me XD :highfive::good::good:

Hi everybody! It's my third logic game for Android!
Cut off the sewing buttons in the logic game Buttons and Scissors! To cut off the buttons, select two or more buttons of the same color. You can select buttons only on the same horizontal, vertical or diagonal line. You cannot cut off a single button, so plan your strategy in advance! Cut off all the buttons from the scrap of denim to complete the level. Try to complete each level in the shortest time possible to get a better score. Below is how to complete a simple level 5x5:
When you begin playing the game for the first time, there will be a tutorial level. You will be presented with a scrap of denim and a number of different colored buttons. Each current move will be displayed as a white arrow. Touch the first button and move your finger to the last button of the same color you wish to select in that line, and then release your finger. All selected buttons will then be cut off with a scissors, if selected correctly.
Main features:
Realistic sewing buttons and scissors
5x5, 6x6 and 7x7 levels
Unlimited Undo
HD graphics
Leaderboard
Cloud Save
Solutions for levels
The game supports all screen resolutions from the smallest 240x320 up to 1920x1200 and higher!
Google Play: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kyworks.buttonsandscissors.inapp
I would like to hear your opinion about the game. I'm also happy to answer any questions about the development process.
IMPORTANT: No real buttons were cut off in the making of this game!
Buttons and Scissors v1.2 released!
I added two free solutions (if you got stuck with some level), so now there are 3 solutions available in the game
Also, bug fixed: rare crashing on undo
Please let me know what do you think about my game! Thanks!
Nice game.Good work

Sorry man, I removed SGSII (GT-I9100) from the list of supported devices on Google Play. In the last weeks, there were four reports for this device that game is crashing after each level. I googled the forums, and it seems that there is a bug in audio drivers on those devices, but only if it runs original Android version (2.2?). So I9100 is the only device which is unsupported. You can download attached apk, the game probably should work if you are using Android 4.0+.
Great job, knutson! It's very addictive and entertaining. It runs seamlessly on my Xperia S. At first I thought that 1000 levels are a bit too much, but I already completed about 200. Great time killer!

The first 200 levels are 5x5, and yes they are simple. 6x6 and 7x7 are harder! Thank you for feedback!
Hey there,
Tried your game today and it is xly a great, polished to the max game. Here's what I like the most:
- The game is localized professionally to french
- The fact that you don;t have to wait for the scissors to finish cutting the current line so that you start the second
- It runs extremely well on low end devices
Didn't encounter any bug
Again excellent development, Left you a comment on the play store : )

Yes, the game was localized to French by professional translator. (you can also try my other games, they all were also localized to French!). And yes, there are multiple scissors available It may be boring to wait until all animations will complete, so I added multiple scissors. Thank you for your comment! :good:

Thanks! Does anybody tried to synchronize game with Cloud Save? I'm very interested if it is working properly, especially on old devices. Please feedback!
Really nice and addictive game. Both my wife and I play it a lot - just a level or five - or maybe ten - before bedtime

Since there are 1200 levels in the game, then you can play it for months

I have a SGSII with Android 4.2.2 (CyanogenMod 10.1). The first times I played your game everything was fine. Yesterday and again today I experienced what you've mentioned - that the games crached after each level. I started again, played another level, and the game crashed again. But then suddenly, maybe after 10 levels and 10 restarts, sometimes after 5 and other times after 15, the game works out of nothing... I haven't done anything else than starting the game again after a crash...
If I can do anything to help with solving this, just let me know...

I did not receive any crash reports regarding this issue so far, so it will be very helpful if you can send me a log containing crash report. If you are running Windows and android SDK is installed and ADB is configured, then you can simply run android-sdk\tools\ddms.bat to see the log.
If ddms is not available, you can use adb directly:
/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb logcat >logs.txt
I don't know much about Android SDK, generating logs etc, but I've tried... If it's not correct, I need you to tell me a little more detailed what I have to do
The log file is uploaded here.
Dear XDA community,
I'm presenting to you my new project on which I have been working for several months using UNITY 3D Game Engine.
This game belongs to classic TD genre. You have four towers with different abilities to stop your enemies and lots of powers to use.
I haven't come with a good title yet (I'm excited about hearing your title propositions ). For now its in early alpha phase, contains many bugs, not the best performance, poor gameplay and some things hasn't been implemented yet, but you can play and test it today.
It is highly recommended to run this game on mid/high-end devices, with dual/quad core cpu.
Game uses about 400-500mb of ram so your phone should have 1GB of RAM (at least ~780mb).
I already tested it on Nexus 4, but I NEED YOUR SUPPORT. Feel free to share with me your thoughts about this game, any bugs, performance issues (please don't forget about posting your device model).
Furthermore, questions, opinions, suggestions, gameplay ideas are more than welcome
If you are more advanced user consider running this command in console(terminal/cmd/whatever): adb logcat -s Unity (if you have ADB). ADB logs in case of any errors maybe very helpful.
KNOWN BUGS / THINGS TO DO:
- levels difficulty is far from perfect
- upgrade screen UI is messed up on some resolutions
- only 7 levels for now (in final version there should be about 16 levels)
- only about 20-25 enemies, final version should have 10-15 more
- power upgrades don't work, upgrading a power won't have any effect
- virtual currencies don't work
- no description for power upgrades
- performance... (not sure how much I can do about it, but I will be trying)
- characters don't have any shadows
- not enough sounds, some characters are completely silent
- 6th level(scene) is not working well, so just tap "quick win" button in order to unlock next level.
I would be happy to place some of you in credits section of my game for helping me with this project

Good work of art you got there.
Thank You

Try MEGA mirror.
Shoot, can't play. Nexus 5, Mahdi ROM. I keep getting "Unfortunately Tower Defense has stopped" in the opening tutorial when trying to set up the archer tower. I'll edit with logcat in like an hour or so.
Suggested title: Tower of Power

Thanks for logs.
For now you can try to skip tutorial. Go to upgrades, than tap 'back' -> 'play' -> go to first level -> If something won't work (probably because of unfinished tutorial) tap on 'quick win' button and go to next level. See if you are still getting activity has stopped error.
Thanks for logs.

Ok, I'll try to fix this issue asap. Unfortunetly I can't reproduce this FC on my nexus 4.
Anything useful in the log I sent or not really? I took a look at the code, but I'm not a developer. I couldn't spot any obvious errors, but even if I could I wouldn't know what they mean
I saw sigsegv error which means that I'm referencing to null.

Lastly, while being in start screen you can try tapping on center of the screen (somewhere behind 'welcome...' popup there is active start button) and go directly to the map.
Let me know if you manage to do this or if you encounter any error.

only black screen right now before going on selecting stages.
as you said i pressed in center of the screen and selected first map.
In maps zooming and navigation is not so good but good for beta.
difficulty is moderate not so hard.
finding our archers and other players is hard.
I think give preview of map so that we can decide where to put archers and barrecks and mages and cannons.
Half time i was confused where did i put my soldiers lol
but great game.
depth is great and powers are good i use it quite often.
I could upgrade all soldiers/weapons to full all time with money i was earning.
Didnt play much after that.
I will review again soon.:good::good::good:
Nice job. Keep it up.
