Addictive game "Volcanic Ascent" officially released for Android! - Android Apps and Games

Ascended Studios is pleased to announce that the indie game Volcanic Ascent has been officially released for the Android Platform!
This game was entirely designed and programmed by one person. (me)
I am looking for feedback on the game (is it fun, what is especially good about it, what sucks, what features does it need, etc). My updates are generally based off the feedback I get, so if you have a feature suggestion (for example) it has a very good chance of getting put in the next update to my game!
Description:
Volcanic Ascent is an indie game that was designed and created by one person! It has been described as an extremely addictive, action-packed casual game. Get as high up an active volcano as you can! Get the highest score and reach the highest milestone!
Dodge threats, grab coins, and collect powerups like Ghost and Shield to help you on your quest. Make sure you don't fall into a pit! Are you good enough to reach the GODLIKE milestone?
Information:
There are two versions of the game. A free version that is ad supported, and a full version that has an extra powerup and no ads (the lack of ads also results in more screen space dedicated to the game).
To download either search the market for "Volcanic Ascent" or go here (free version):

Awesome, look forward to it. Thanks poo-tang

Awesome, so glad our beloved phone is still hanging with Dev support... once that dries up all we have are our memories of good times. And who would have thought the PLAY would be beyond 500+ optimized games. Woot!

[GAME][2.2+] Plick!

Hello everybody.
After years entering this forum, now it's time to collaborate with my first post.
I want to present my first Android game: Plick!
Plick! is an absurdly entertaining game in which you'll be picking up drops from the ceiling all day (or until the battery of your smartphone says enough).
The game mechanics are simple: Slide your finger on the screen or click on the places where you want the saucepan will go and ensures that no drop slip away. Accumulate points and treat yourself at the store, where you can expand your options and game modes as you progress.
The game includes ten challenging achievements to unlock and a social leaderboard where you can check your progress with players around the world.
Crappy (...very crappy) graphics, simple gameplay, fun guaranteed.
All tips and reviews that you can provide would be greatly appreciated (both here and by Google Play). I hope you have a good time while playing Plick!
Screenshot
Cannot to post links... look for Plick! in Google Play Store
ChangeLog:
V 1.03:
- Drop speed improved: in low-res devices the game was too stressful.
- Fixed minor bugs.
V 1.02:
- Fixed drops behaviour in "Funnel" powerup.
- Fixed chronometer drawing in "Crazy Mode".
- Added/Improved sound effects.
V 1.01:

[[ SoftSlide puzzle ]] FREE puzzle game

Hello everyone, I just installed this game and I love it (tastes like colors) and I would like to leave you some info about it (I have taken it from the creator's website) and the link to the play store of the game.
If a moderator considers that I should not put it to tell me and remove it, or that they remove it directly.
SoftSlide puzzle​
SoftSlide puzzle is a traditional sliding puzzle game. Our mission is to move the pieces of the puzzle to complete the proposed image ...
This game has several details that, from my point of view, make it quite attractive. Namely
More than 60 high quality images.
Difficulty configurable.
3 different game modes + extra level:
- Normal mode: 10 levels with 5 puzzles each level and with selectable difficulty
- Time trial mode: Single game. It consists of solving as many puzzles as possible in a given time.
- Challenge mode: 6 levels and 5 puzzles each with automatic increase of difficulty after completing each level
- Extra level (master mode): It is activated after completing the challenge mode and consists of 6 puzzles (6x6). 3 of them with help numbers and another 3 without help numbers. This level has exclusive photos to complete the challenge. If you complete it, the photos of the extra level become part of the normal images of the game and the option of selecting master puzzles (6x6) in the configuration is enabled.
Global ranking Challenge other players to surpass your score.
Possibility of choosing between puzzles type 3x3, 4x4 or 5x5.
Bonus for solving puzzles in less time and movements.
Visualization of the image before starting the puzzle
Remix function in case you get stuck after many moves and prefer to start over.
And a lot of hours of fun and headaches.
The developer says he will implement more images, more levels, more game modes ... etc ...
What do you think?
You can download it in Google play store.
Enjoy the game.
A hug
