[REQ] Music/Rythym game?

First of all I hope this is in the right section.
I was hoping to find some awesome music/rythym games later in the Android Market.
Well, it's been about over a year since Android was released, and I still see a lack of good rythym games!
My request is for a developer to try their best and create a well-designed music game, hopefully using our own music from the SD card..
That would be awesome!

Do you mean like this?

Id like to see multitouch implemented somewhere in one of these games ...

No, I know this is on the market, but we need something better.
Guitar Hero mobile for Android wasn't exactly the best experience I've had.

I have been asking for this game to come to Android since I got my G1. Mainly looking for the NIN Edition!
http://tapulous.com/
Even sent them a request, but so far nothing has come of it. I recommend everybody request it, If there is enough support they might port it.

Can't post links yet, but this is the original thread starting from last year, stating that if theres enough demand, they'll try to port it.

some of you may have played it before but this is a steam game called Audiosurf
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTZTPdDW7PM
a game like this would be awesome on the nexus... basically it produces a unique track based off of each song for that song and its a sort of tetris game where you have to match the blocks up and such... was well worth 10 dollars on steam when it first dropped, i had countless hours of obsessed fun on the thing

That's a very good game, but it needs to ne refined more. But we REALLY need a game like TTR or Audiosurf, I have nothing against taps of fire, but I don't like playing on amazing. Too much for my thumbs.

Here is the link for tap tap revenge:
http://getsatisfaction.com/tapulous/topics/are_you_guys_going_to_bring_ttr_to_android_phones
Everybody should request it so we can get it ported.

In the mean time, I found this:
http://code.google.com/p/tapsoffire/
Somebody mentioned it in this thread already, but I searched the market for it, but it didn't appear. It probably wasn't designed for the Nexus so it didn't show up, but there is a Droid version available from the Google code page. Free and open source!

One of the best music games is Taps of Fire. I have it installed, I recommend others to download this app too, only bad thing is having to hit the notes a little early, but its fine.

Download link:
http://www.multiupload.com/2M729483GB
NOTE:
this may have some bugs so please , let me know. and im sure i can fix them.

downloading now

Loved your first Pokemon game, so def downloading this!

It's a series that I like ...!
Congratulations, I download it and you notice that such...

in this version my pikachu cant level up, and theres no "story" (dialogues) yet, eg in the arena.
i really liked your first game, and i am looking forward to the second one, but it is kind of annoying that you have to click so often after you defeated a pokemon.
maybe you could change that a bit.

ok, so i gotta say that i am really happy with the way this game has turned out, im not sure if you want this as a report the bugs thread or not, but i will post a couple that ive found so far, the poke mart says the pokeballs are 200$ but when you buy them they actually cost 300.00 in the beginning story, professor is spelled wrong, when you kill another pokemon, enemy is spelled wrong..
when you finish off an opponent, maybe make a menu that lists all thing thins accomplished in that last battle rather than having to press ok 3-4 times.
but so far, this is great progress, cant wait to see the next version!

Thanks for your feedback.. i was little annoyed when i realised that i made such silly mistakes. keep telling about the bugs and problems. its helping me, get better

Didn't test your game yet, but I will as soon as I get a computer with my phone's drivers on it ^^
One remark, do you have the right to use the Pokemon name and pictures in your game ? That could end in legal issues if not, and I don't think you'd want that ^^

I want to test it, but can you make it working in portrait mode? That way I can test it on my android tablet. (android 2.2, folio 100).

It works ONLY in portrait mode

Your game's name is "Pokemon". I think this is a registered trademark :/
And fan made pictures can be illegal too ^^ (but on that part i'm not sure)

But good work
Desire HD, Tapatalk

nice
its a raly nice game love both u first and this one, only bad thing in this one is that when u attack a pokemon and win it comes up alot of popups, can u put all those in one so it goes smother to play and dont have to click OK so many times and maby miss click i love ur games!

ohh, can't wait to download!

Great idea
In addition to the mispellings that were mentioned above.. pikachu and pidgey are also spelled wrong..

Dialogs are a bit annoying.
Don't expect this to last long if Nintendo catch wind of it.
Also, force closes every time when entering online battle on HTC Desire (2.26.841.2)

Android Gaming Just Got Better

games on the android platform are really lacking in style and just all round refinement compared to the iPhone. but having said that the company I work for just released the first lite version game of the blob man series.
It's called blob warrior lite and is up on the android market, so if you're looking for a good game check it out. It's the first in the series of blob games released by Black Snow and the paid version should be coming out by February 14th.
Blob Warrior Lite is an addicting game for android using the accelerometer to control the main character as it zooms around trying to avoid being eaten.

Its a fun game and works well - but I wouldnt go as far as saying it's more refined than others for Android.

Game sucks, graphics look like they were drawn by a 3 years old, gameplay is medicore at best

Now what use is that? I'm certain it's people and comments like that, that deters any decent game devs from Android.
Personally, I liked it! It's not something I'd play for hours on end. but a few minutes here and there
Needs a little more work I'd say, for example ability to adjust tilt sensitivity

That was helpful. How about showing your displeasure with the game without being a jerk?

Ater playing the first few games i thought 'Hmm, well this is going to be impossible to dodge the little red montsters.' Then i accidently clicked the screen and a cheese puff popped out which from then on i found out i could shoot the little red monsters haha!
But all in all yes an addictive game which can be played here and there, with different levels + difficulties etc.

That comment was perfectly justified given the arrogance of the OP.
The OP put down every SINGLE Android game saying they all suck, and then talks about how great his new game is.
He could have just said "Hey everyone, here's a new game: xyz" rather than calling every other Android game crap.
So yes, that comment was definitely justified.

wrong, the douche-poster did not touch on this at all....he was just trashing the development of the game, which is gutless and unnecessary. he could have at least worded it in a fashion that was condusive with a person above the age of 8.
as far as the OP's pitch....who cares, theres nothing wrong with being competitive and and trying to reel people in. after all, it is a "market"....no reason to get all bent out of shape over an app promotion, just dont download it

thanks for all the feedback everyone. I will admit the graphics probably need some work and there are more updates to come very close in the future. As for the Motorola Droid problem it might be a resolution issue considering a the different screen ratios out there. I'll pass it on to and see if we can find a fix

Need help! Our game flopped and no idea why!

Hey Guys,
Really loving this community! We released this game on the market last Thursday and only have 12 downloads ATM! We must have screwed something up royally but the only feedback we've had so far has been positive. Perhaps its the name of the game? Or maybe the graphics just look terrible, or what?
Any new name suggestions?
Thanks for any feedback you have!
Erik

Checked it out. I can see where it would be addicting and I'll likely keep it. Honestly though if I wouldn't have stumbled upon your thread here and came across it on the market, I would have never downloaded it. Icon is good but I think the name is what would make me skip it. I don't have any specific suggestions, just try to be a bit more descriptive of what the point is in the title. Also, the menu is a little hard to read and could be confusing for some people I guess. Hope I helped!

The "Fun for all ages" and "Cute fun" text makes me kinda go "eww, a family-friendly game". I think it'd be better off without it at all. A description of what you actually do in the game would be helpful, too.

You cant read the font on LDPI and I would agree with the change of title.

I've not played the game and I don't need too to form an opinion. That is the biggest problem with this game and any game for that matter. People do judge games by their "cover" until of course they get big enough to be talked about/reviewed etc.
It seems to me that you're not really sure who you are aiming the game at. You use graphics that imply this is aimed at 9 year old girls but the language is for geeky teenage boys (and older) with terms like "Rockstah bunneh," or something to that effect.
Look at the comments you have so far (assuming they are not your friends!) They all use wording such as "so cute" "adorable." If this is the route you want to go down then you need to go the whole hog and really target the one specific market.
It takes something very special to appeal to everyone and it may be unrealistic to try on your first game (assuming it is.)
Now I don't mean to sound harsh or overly critical, but this is a game I would never dream of downloading and it appears i'm not alone. With a few tweaks here and there I still wouldn't download it but maybe another demographic would and you could be very successful.
As a final note I could be talking rubbish as I have no particular expertise in the area and your only problem is getting your game recognised in an already over crowded market.
Good luck.

Hello everyone. Firstly i checked it out and have an idea i think you must add an option like using sensors to control the game and maybe the font can be changed.
Maybe then i can help better with my ideas.
Good luck.

This is perfect feedback! Thanks
Now that you said it, I wouldn't ever download a family game either!

I think it was this game i saw on the market this weekend. I was searching for games to play since i had gotten a new ROM and wanted to settle in. I saw the name, saw the icon and the first thought through my mind was "it's probably a little kids game" and instantly just ignored it. I can see how the icon would match the game itself, but the name is just... ehh...

We updated the name and feature graphic. Keep the feedback coming and feel free to make it brutal!
Hopefully with the humor on the graphic people won't think its just for kids?

Just tried it. The game itself is nicely made, but it's not the type of game i would normally play. I see that you have changed some stuff (but not released the update yet) so i can't say if it's better after the changes, but one thing is sure, it needs so much more blood. I want the bunnies to pop like a balloon when they fall to their death.
Fine, i'm joking. Or not?

That would be a lot of fun to make as a separate app, what could we call it?

Maybe I'm just crap at this game but it seems pretty hard...can't get past level 2 haha

Hey there, sorry for you, but dont give up.
I am pretty sure its the bunny on the icon and the first splash screen. It neither sweet nor serious. Its rather a bit scary. ;-)
Try to change this. In my view the little bunnies ingame are sweeter than the one in the icon.
Good luck!

I agree in title change too. Don't give up, the market is also not über easy to find new games sometimes cause they get lost in the sauce quickly.
MoPhoACTV Initiative

Use proper English in the description, call it something catchy instead like Foxes'n'Bunnies (REALLY bad example I know, but you can most likely catch my drift), and I would make a more rounded corner icon

I know others have mentioned it, but I'm throwing another vote in for a change to the title and the general copy of the description.
Currently, the description is vague and comes across as unprofessional. The description gives little information about the mechanics of the game, or even the style of gameplay (does it resemble a puzzle game? A 2D side-scroller? Is it controlled by tilt? Touch?). More information would be useful. The writing itself resembles internet memes more than a game advertisement. General touches such as cleaning up the writing (and perhaps removing the speech bubble over the rabbit's head; it looks like it was done in paint) can go a long way towards conveying professionalism from the developers, which helps consumers to trust both your legitimacy, and the legitimacy of the app. I looked over your website, and it does a solid job of being professional. The design seems reasonable (though I'm not a designer), and the writing is fine. This makes the copy that appears in the description somewhat more puzzling.
That said, it seems like you're on to some good things, and I have a great deal of respect for developers who turn to the community and look for honest feedback in order to improve. Thanks for all your hard work; I'll be keeping an eye out for your future projects. Good luck!

I would give it a better name, the current name isnt very easy to remember. A good name will help your game spread by word of mouth since people will be able to rattle off the name easier.
I'm not sure how app makes market their games, just getting it out here on XDA helps. You could start a thread over in the Android App Devs section if you havent already for your app. Theres a lot of apps out there and its hard to get something new noticed.

Definitely not my type of game. I'm 31 years old and write like a normal human being. I never understood the writing style in the game. It sounds like a 12 year old wrote it. If you took the physics behind the game and made another game themed around something artsy (check out a game called quell) you may get a different response.
I'd step away from the drawing board for a week our so and find someone artsy can look at the objective and build a different theme around it.

I have a few suggestions that may help you get attention.
1.) Better name. "Outfoxed" would be an excellent name.
out·fox
verb /ˌoutˈfäks/ 
outfoxed, past participle; outfoxed, past tense; outfoxes, 3rd person singular present; outfoxing, present participle
Defeat or deceive (someone) by being more clever or cunning than they are; outwit
2.) You must have a catchy description. "Outfox the sly fox before you become his next lunch."
3.) Please remove the baby talk and "internet meme" phrases. Most people wouldn't understand it and the ones that do would just get annoyed by it. It completely ruins it for most of us.
4.) While the newer icon is better, it still needs work. Try outlining the rabbit with a thicker black line in order to make it pop more. It blends into the background too much as it is.
5.) Social networking. Advertise your game on Twitter/Facebook/Google+. It wouldn't hurt to create a small website with a link to the Google Play download.
6.) Fix the menu screen. That font is terrible on the eyes. Clean it up and make it look more professional. The whole app screams "Coding 101 class project". Take some notes from the successful developers.
You have a good start, but without that extra push it will never go anywhere.

awesome awesome awesome feedback!
Thank you guys so much! We will remove the LOLCats speak, I didn't realize its like baby talk but I guess it makes sense.
Outfoxed! That's not bad

Symhony o Eternity.....

I am not going to say this game is out yet, its not. Just wanted to bring it to peoples attention, I found out about it a little while ago from TLRtheory (awesome.... should get to know him)
Anyways just wanting to point out that for the first time in my knowledge that a game will be releasing for Android first... THEN...... iphone.
Here is some info on Symphony of the Origin:

Cant wait for this to come out.

Man, every time I see the trailer for this, my mouth waters lol.
...the people who typically dislike Kemco games may actually even love this one. It's definitely on a much higher level of quality than anything else they've released on Android.

Agreed. It does look to be above the cut compared to their prior releases, and not like those were bad.
