Nice game, enjoyed it.
Only complaint was, sometimes I'd have the puzzle done, but it wouldn't notice. Annoying when I had over 700 points.

Maybe you didn't solve it in 20 seconds - in that case your score is reset. Score is determined by the seconds left until 20, if you solved in the last second you won't get points. If you're running out of time, better press the skip button, this won't cost you points.

Nope, it does it constantly... I played about 10 minutes before uninstalling because it often has problems detecting it's solved. One I got about 10s before the time was out and wiggled it back and forth and up and down and it still wouldn't register it was done.

cool idea, but seems like the controls are inverse of what i'd prefer. i pull down and it pushed up, etc

No, it just wouldn't solve, I could find the right spot in 5 seconds, spend 15 moving it around and it still wouldn't catch. Not often, but it happens.

You're right, I just posted an update with the bug corrected.

Very cool game idea. Like it very much, but the inverse controls makes it a little bit difficult, at least for me. Would be nice to change the inverse control in next coming update.

No longer called Shatter. Game has been renamed Scatter.

Yes, sorry about it, but it was a trademark infringement.
Anyway, a new update is currently being prepared with improved controls. It'll also have a hard mode, that brings twice as many points.

Very cool!
Got over 1400 points without any problems (then had to stop as was playing it at my desk in work lol), yeah would prefer inverted (or non-inverted it would seem) controls, looking forward to the update, thanks!

The latest update is a must see! Controls are super smooth and there is hard more to get double score on guessed image.

Excellent, going to update now, thanks again!

Updated with tilt controls mode! Gives you 10 bonus seconds to solve the puzzle

LOL you are pretty on the ball with updates mate!
Tried hard mode yesterday, fair play, lives up to it's name, with fewer blocks, makes it hard to line up the image properly.
Found a possible bug, on my Samsung Galaxy S, it quite often doesn't register the image is complete unless I scroll it up and back down again to the same place. Maybe a problem with collision/edge detection on the other sides of the cubes?

Permission
I don't like apps that need permissions not suppose to have. Why this app wants to access system log? Sorry but I am so concern about permissions I am giving to apps and will not install this game till you remove this permission.

Same here, I wouldn't update today because of that. WTH?

New update has just been submitted. It has 19 new images and supports small screen phones. The best thing is the smoothened tilt controls - they are super steady now!
About the read system logs permission - it is for sending crash reports to me. Couple of guys with Desire reported Force Close issues and I added a small piece of code to send the system log over e-mail. If crash happens, you see M$ Windows-like popup with "Send" and "Don't send" If you choose send, the e-mail app is opened with the system log attached as zip. You can write some comment in the message body and send over. Issues on Desire are still not resolved, but I'm working on it.

System Log
Standard Android reporting (I believe it is in 2.2) will do that on crashes, you don't need to do that manually. I think it would be better to remove that permission from your app and if you really want to do it manually and don't use android build-in reporting system, ask people to sent log to you manually.
People will not install an app if it ask for unrelated permissions.

Cool way to "cheat" in ANY game!

Just a little thing I figured out that can give you the ability to save the progress of ANY game.
This can be helpful if you are playing games like where you are about to do this level that is very hard and you want the ability to restart the battle if you die and it's game over.
STEPS:
1. Make sure you have Titanium Backup installed.
2. Where ever you want to restart at, go to that spot or stage or whatever in the game, and then save the game and exit.
3. Go to Titanium Backup, go to the backup/restore tab at the top, go to your game, and click it and press "backup".
4. Then go to your game, and either beat the boss or stage or win the poker game or whatever or lose everything and die.
5. If you died, you can go back to Titanium Backup, go to the same tab and click on the game, and press "restore" data only. Congrats, you get another chance at doing the stage again!
6. If you did beat the stage, you can make another back up!
+1 Thx if this saved you time on your games!

What's the point in saving your game, making a titanium backup, and then restoring the data?
Why can't you just load from your save point again? That's pretty much the idea behind save points....

As one example, this is a great option for Gun Bros, as far as shopping for which Guns you want.
In the game's Store, you get to see the weapons' stats, but the only way to see it in actual action is to buy the thing outright and then start using it.
Right now, there's no option to sell anything you've already bought, which is a pretty big frustration especially later in the game when the decent weapons take a pretty long time to get to because you have to build up the money...So if you buy a weapon and end up wishing you got the other one, then you're SOL.
This Saving and restoring fixes that.

Tonnes of games don't design savepoints.
For example, in "World Series of Poker Holdem", I am playing in the final table of the WOSP tournament. I have pocket Aces, and this guy goes all in. If I call and lose the hand, I will be knocked out, and the $250k I put in will be gone.
Therefore, I save the game, call his all-in, and if I lose, I can restore the game and NOT call his all in.

kind of pointless

Well yeah, but some people cheat before the beat it and some people cheat after the beat it. All in all, it doesn't matter. He is just telling us how there is a loophole with games on Android. That's all.

Probably the same kind of folks that buy a game, the walkthrough, and find all of the cheat codes before even starting.
I've given myself more gold in games before to decrease the PAIN of moving through a game, and a few I've bumped up Experience to reduce the tedious "go outside town, fight until you're nearly dead, come back and rest, repeat until you're level X" but otherwise, it's no fun if you cheat every step of the way.

GTA3 Arms Shortage crashing and other problems

I'm having a bit of a problem with GTA3. On the Arms Shortage mission given by the cop on the second island every time I drive into the marker in the army base the game crashes straight to my home screen, no force close or anything. If I get out and walk into the marker the game takes control and makes the player do a stupid lap around the base, resulting in death.
The game also takes control of the player every time I complete a casino mission and makes him walk into a wall continuously, the only way to regain control is to quit and resume.
Anyone have similar problems or know what to do?

gta 3 crash
i got the exact same problem, i think its the 1.3 update that causes it, i have not found any fix for this yet, i hope Rockstar makes an update for FC and crashes :S

I hadnt any problems with this mission.
If u want i can upload my sd files and u try it with your saves.

I haven't had a single problem with my GTA III game and I've had it since release but have only started playing it since the 1.3 patch.

The 1.3 Update is great. The only problem i´ve had so far is that when i press the aim button when i have the M16 rifle equipped nothing happens. I can´t aim manually with it. This didn´t occur in Version 1.0. Anyone else having this problem?

Could you please? It's driving me mad, I can't advance anymore lol.
Also which button is to aim? I thought it was auto aim only :/.

It´s the menu button on the gamepad. Under the d pad. Just works with the sniper rifle, the rocket launcher and the M16 which obviously doesn´t in 1.3 with this button. You´ll need to use the onscreen keys to get into manual aim with the M16.

Anyone else having these problems?

This is happening due to the High Cpu & Ram demand on the game as soon as you drive into the position, if you check the Xperia Play Themes & Apps section, my CAR MODV2 is available which was designed for people which there game crashes like yours, word of advice though, anytime you drive a police car it will be slow (speed)
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

Nah lad thats not it, thanks though. Don't really see how editing the handling.cfg is going to affect ram/cpu usage?
ATM I'm redownloading the sd card files as I believe some of the mission scripting is corrupted, the only reason I haven't tried this before is that my wifi connection is terrible, going to take a while lol.

If anyone could upload or send me their SD card files it would be a great help, when my wifi craps out at over 23% GTA3 won't boot and I have to delete and start over again, never ending cycle lol.

Sry guys, I just tried the 1.3 update, and I was wondering if I can can set the movement controls to the touchpads. I read that on xperiagamer, but I can't find anything in the game options, I can only move with the dpad. Maybe you just can't move with the touchpads?

When you enter the location, aload of police cars start chasing you & you have to escape, due to this your CPU usage is quite high & ram & probably cant cope
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

It has nothing to do with cpu or ram usage, it's just a glitch in the game. There are no more people or cars than in any other mission.
The way I got around the glitch, though, is by first walking into the trigger area (the blue circle of light thing), instead of driving into it. Then, as he jogs around the area ignoring user input, he will get close enough to the tank for the "door" on-screen button to appear, which you can press to break his jogging cycle.
He'll run over to the tank, try to get in, but it's locked, and you can then help the one-armed man kill the Columbian Cartel attackers.
Hope this helps others! Sure was a hassle for me lol.
Edit: I'm playing this on a Droid Bionic, btw, not the xperia

When i had this mission i take ol and use them as barricade and than destroy cartel using granades. Try it maybe it helps...
Of course i did it on r800i

hi
at first sorry for my bad english.I'm new (they call it NOOB :laugh
I had the same problem(crashing in this mission) and I searched it through the internet but i couldn't get pass of that.
so i tried different ways(because I had the same problem in some other missions).
at last I found it! the problem is with the cars..when you go in the marked area with a car,it crashes...when ever you had this problem,just go at the marked area on YOUR FOOT!! thats it..it works for this problem in any mission crashes like this
I hope that I could help some of you my friends in my FIRST comment:good:

[GAME][2.2+] Hex

Another massive update. :]
Hex was originally a board game. The goal is to try and connect your two sides of the board before your opponent. The first player has the advantage so there's a "first move swap" where the second player can swap positions on their first move (it's toggle-able). The game gets pretty hard when both players know what they're doing.
The app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sam.hex
The code:
https://github.com/Xlythe/HexGame_Android
You can donate through in app purchases if you like the game and don't mind buying me a soda. And I'll try to help anyone who wants to write their own AI or make a different board game off the code. The code should be a lot cleaner than it once was.

Cool

I got a bit overexcited and pushed without doing a proper code freeze. Needless to say, bugs popped up. How do most people handle this? I assume it's one of the two:
a) Spend the week cleaning up and release a clean, solid app
b) Push updates periodically as you clean up all the known bugs (despite the likelihood that more will pop up)
I've been doing the latter, not wanting an app that's broken (especially if I have the fix for it), but I'm a bit afraid it'll annoy users with the frequent updates. I should have just forced myself to be patient and waited a week... And written tests...

Haha, yes. There's another computer, Bee, who's a lot smarter but also a lot slower. I thought the default, Will, was better for showing someone new how to play (Faster, more beatable).
It's really easy to write a new AI (a good one, though, is a bit harder). If anyone writes something good and wants it pushed to the market, I'll gladly pull the changes. No one's really shown any interest in the game (programming wise), though, and it's at a good enough state that I'd rather write a new app than tweak Hex further.

Now in the F-droid repo, the only one with NCSA license; congratulations

Maaaaassive update. It's been a while since I learned how to code for Android, and everything I've learned has been put back into the game. It's animated, fluid, and just looks amazing. There's Google+ Achievements and Net play too.

This game is driving me up the ******* wall! (which is a good sign I suppose, because it means I am obsessed with it.)
How are you supposed to swap player 1 and player 2? There's an option in settings to enable swapping, but how do you actually swap? I want to let the AI go first.

small screen problem
I can't press the left lower cell because of a small screen size. All time I press the Undo instead of the cell.

Nice :cyclops:

You cant swap who goes first right now (it was there, but got lost in the ui overhaul). I'm probably going to randomize it.
I'll add smaller buttons for smaller devices.

[Game][Free]Cilink - Fun Action and Arcade Chain Reaction game

Please check my new game - Cilink. It is chain-reaction game with 80 levels and simple, but nice artwork. Please rate the game on the GooglePlay and leave your comments here.
Unfortunately I can not post url, so please copy and past it : play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dracollc.cilinkfree
Thanks a lot!

Mmm, interesting.
I'll try it.
Bye!
! !
Ps.: "Google Play"?

just found the xda post on facebook and in the blog entry i found a link to a website i really enjoyed but it only had about 10 levels so your game was perfect to try out
the flat design is beatiful and the first levels are really smooth...
but when it comes to "get 35 circles" it randomly laggs like hell and costs me the victory
you really need to optimize performance, i will continue playing now and hope that it wont get wore in the upcoming levels
//Robert

little addition, the last blue box level is nearly impossible -.- 150 out of 150 doesnt work

Why are all the permissions required? I'd like to download it, but the game looks pretty invasive.

Crashes on start. Here's the logcat.
P.s. space flip crashes for me too

Really nice and clean design.
great job.

Great game. Got me hooked on it.
Just some feedback.
If you select no music and togglw the screen off/on thw music returns. Same happens if you leave the app to check a message or something and return thw music is back on however the toggle still shows off is selected, nothing major just thought id share.
Keep up the AWESOME work.
Im broke but im clicking the hell out of them ads for you.

Great
Very cool and creative! :good: :cyclops:

I'm finding it too easy. Haha. Took 2 minutes to finish the blue pack and I'm on the last green level.
EDIT: Finished every level. :silly: There's a little issue where Celadon Pack's level 15 passes, but doesn't get marked, so I can't play 16.

How Did You Completed Blue Pack 16th Level??
I Am Not Able To Do It!!!

This game has sucked my time away, made me call in to work, gave me a headache from eye strain, made my girlfriend late to her job, caused me go to hungry because she was unwilling to put down her phone long enough to make me a sandwich, and has caused the hopefully temporary ruining of our sex lives because we're both playing with our phones in bed instead of each other.
In short - this game ROCKS! =) It's so simple and insidious and addictive! Thank you for putting this out there, even though you are clearly a sadist and want us to suffer in various ways.

The tip is to figure out where they're all headed, Sometimes it's at the top/bottom, sometimes at the sides, sometimes in the middle. And it's always good to start where a bunch of them are to begin with, but you want to hit one of the single ones so it starts a chain reaction.
Those last levels are probably the hardest because you end up leaving one or two dots behind. Yeah, I know. :laugh: Just keep trying, you'll get it after the 50th try if you try different spots, hahaha.

By the comments I think I'm gonna be hooked to this game! thank you so much dev, for helping us passing the time and having fun at the same time!

I have tried this blue pack level 16 about million times but still cant beat it :/

how to exit the game? i have to kill app every time. and sound settings somehow resets themselves. I'd like some more levels
