[Game] Shape Battle, my first, needs some play testing - Android Apps and Games

I have my first app up. It's a fun action game of matching color or shape. It includes a simple single-player mode, and a multi-player mode. I have some ideas for more to add, but my wife is already addicted to it, so I thought I'd get it out there. So far, I've tested only on a Samsung Facinate.
Let me know what you think!
It's called Shape Battle, and can be found easily through AppBrain and the Google market. It's free, and is going to be ad driven.

Good game. Its like uno but with shapes instead of numbers. It took a minute for me to understand exactly how it worked. Pretty fun though.

Thanks for checking it out!
Would a little tutorial or some popup text help?
Was the AI too easy or too difficult?

A small demo of how its played might help. Took me about 30 seconds to get it not too difficult. The multiplayer wont get any play from me cause no one is touching my phone haha.

After playing the game myself:
It's pretty much fun and fast, but I would really enjoy a multiplayer via wifi / internet option, because the 2player option is nice - but srsly, two people on one Samsung Galaxy S....if I want to cuddle, I normally just call my gf
And yes, a tutorial would be nice, but not really needed, you get the game very fast.

Thanks for checking it out! I could do something with local wifi play pretty easy. Making internet based play will take a bit more work. I'll see what I can do though!

Also, has anyone tried this on a Droid? I have some reports of freezing after trying to start a game.
Thanks again for the feedback.

Screenshots? Direct link/QR code? Better description of game, maybe text from market in post?
Come on, be a better marketing agent!

			
				
Nuh long detailed descriptions are for sissies. I dont think the qr link works though
Hmm. Why would I download/waste my time to find a link or finding it in the market if I have no idea what it is other than a puzzle game. Give me a reason.
@OP
I would suggest to all game devs to refrain from using the term "my first" when describing your game. It's just not as inviting. I'm not telling you to lie, just don't tell us ^_^ I'm pretty confident it will draw in more crowd.
Not too bad. Simple, but entertaining.
heres a direct link market://details?id=<com.hyperbyte.game3>
some screen shots:
Any suggestions on how I could improve it?
needs better tile graphics and fullscreen(no notification bar). Work on presentation now that you have your core gameplay concept.
"Stops unexpectedly" on my Samsung Vibrant (stock 2.2), and I have to Force Close.
yeah Im working on fixing that. was the force close from rotating the phone?
I am currently working on adding new themes, difficulty levels and bug fixes, so stay tuned!
Feels like a fancy minesweeper, needs better graphics.
I would like some sort of chat bot providing some colorful commentary like "are you sure? " "not bad" "you are not getting closer " and that sort of stuff (with SHUT UP! Command of course) give it more personality
Game itself... mechanics is okay but needs feint or other cloud scoreboard support. Right now everything is random so no comparison.
Another idea is play aids, like helpful circles or borders to narrow down suspect squares. However you get penalty factor if you use them. So you cannot get high score unless you turn them off.

I play LoL a lot and I was delighted to hear that I could play something similar while on the go. However, I was very disappointed, isn't anything like LoL. How the hell do you expect us to control 3 heroes at the same time?!?
This is a good games, maybe its campaign mode need us to control 3 heroes at same times, but not for multiplayer.
Let see how the multiplayer match work. Hope it not just online, but via local wifi too
I'll try this out, if it'd be kinda cool if riot just made mobile platforms. Like a queue for PC and a queue for mobile players. But if you wanted to you can queue up with your PC buddy for bot matches and what not.

Isnt xplay optimized, however i'll give it a try

Yeah, i always think about it =D
Just to share my experiences, I downloaded this a while back and was not impressed. The controls (touch controls as others have pointed out) were not nearly responsive enough, the game ran poorly and was very choppy and it really pushes a rough freemium model for a single-player game IMO.

Enjoyment for your baby, relaxation for you!
Description
!!! Please read the entire short description"!!!
This game was made for my little girl and she enjoyed it a lot. It is made for toddlers of 1 to 3 years and has a set of small, but entertaining games. It's a one man project, I did everything from code to drawings and I'd really appreciate a 5* rating. The app should work fine on smartphones on all screen resolutions. Tablet support is in development, so far the 7" tablets should have perfectly working games but with some resized images (may be a bit blurry). If you find anything looking bad or want the app to work on 10" tablets, please drop me an email.
NO ADS, NO PERMISSIONS REQUIRED, NO SPYING ON THE USER. As you can see the app does not require any permission at all, no internet access, no private information needed It's made just for the entertainment of your baby.
For now there are five mini games included
- Explore - learn each animal's sound and specific moves
- Guess - try to guess what animal makes the sound that is playing
- Hide - animals are hiding all over the farm, find them
- Catch - sheep are trying to escape, catch them
- Touch - add and remove animals from the screen with a simple touch.
Each mini game has its own animations and sounds.
I would really appreciate a 5* rating!!!
I hope you and your baby will enjoy this as much as mine did.
You can find the app in Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alinberce.animalsplayground

You already fixed the bugs which I want to mention. The last is that I'm not able to exit app from ma "back" burton on HTC ONE X.
Sent from HOX with ARHD 14.2
Yes, indeed, on Back button of Home screen, the app does not go into background. Why I did it like this ? Because I got a few times, accidentaly, exit the app from a minigame... How would you like to have the behavior: exit on Back or have a Yes/No Are you sure you want to exit ?
I discovered the cause of blurry images on Nexus 7, I will soon release an updated version to make the app look better on tablets.
Thank you elmo for your feedback. I really appreciate it!!!
alinescoo, Ok lets stay without exit button - you are right
I have just updated the app with fixes for all the bugs send by users. Thanks a lot for support.
alinescoo, thanks mate. Any chance for new game under button "soon"?
Well to be honest I have no idea what game to include. I am opened to suggestions.

[GAME][4.0+] Ping Pong Holo

Hello everyone,
Today I've published my new app. It was the first time, that I've developed a game. The app started as a project in a class of the university I'm attending, but I didn't want to leave the code half finished. Some parts are open source.
I hope you like it. Feel free to leave some feedback.

Very nice, thanks for sharing!:good:
Very good for first game! Keep going!
Thanks for the comments, it means a lot to me!
Really nice game, really clean look and easy to play. But you probably need a more subtle sound when the ball hits the bat. The current one is not nice, I turned it off immediately. A tiny little click or pop would do. Ta.

It reminds me my times with Atari consoles
@V4lve: You are absolutely right, I like the retro theme's sound more as well. But it's hard to find a good ball hit sound, which is free for commercial use. But I keep searching.
Can you play it with 2 players?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Nice game : ) The development with the android SDK is clean and bug free (Y)
You might want to increase your coverage to API 2.3+ if the libraries you are using allows it, since the game is not gfx heavy and might runs smoothly on low end devices.
Thank you
old but gold,great work.its cool!!! :good:

Yes, I'm already using one of their sounds in the retro theme. I've mentioned the source in the licenses overview.
Interesting game, looks nice. Good work!
Really nice Smooth and very playable. I like that the ball speeds up on each hit
Thanks, I appreciate it.

[GAME][2.3.1+]Dark Cave Runner 1.2

Hello,
Dark Cave Runner is an endless run game type.
What's different to this game, is that, besides the fear for unknown feeling, it provides different features and game play than the current endless run games out there.
I would appreciate if you can download and tell me your opinions via reviews/mails/reply to this post. All opinions will be taken in consideration, and any ideas to improve the game would be greatly appreciated!
Requires Android 2.3.1+
Its available on Android and Windows phone stores currently.

Hey, nice game. I like runner games and the controls and feel of this one was pretty good.
I did encounter a problem. After a few tries i was stuck on the summary page. The screen darkened a little, but no ad was displayed and i could not continue the game. I closed the app and re-opened it from my taskmanager and the ad had appeared. I could then close it and continue the game.
Other than that i enjoyed the game. Also It would be nice to be able to see my highest score. Think i managed to get around 170
Hi!
I really appreciate your time to test and play Dark Cave Runner!
The problem you faced is indeed produced by ads. The bug will be fixed in the next update, which will come with some new features as well!
Thank you!
Nice runner game, quite like the dark cave setting. As I'm new to this type of game I wasn't aware immediately that you tilt the phone to move left and right haha. Maybe for plebs like me you could put in a quick hint at the very start? It's such a minor point though since I worked it out very quickly anyway.
Hello!
Thanks for taking some time, playing Dark Cave Runner!
I found out that some players may have problems with the sensitivity of the tilt. I will add a hint warning them, on the next update.
Thanks!
Hey man good work on the game runs absolutely fine on my Note 3 silky smooth and the graphics are great. I really like the setting it's a free take! What engine did you use and how long did it take you to make?
Hi man,
Thank you for your kind words! The engine is Unity, and it took like 1 week.
Thanks!
good
