Hey everyone,
So about 8 months ago, my friend created this website Knoword Basically, you're given a definition, and the first letter of a word and based on this you have to guess what the word is, time limit included. Point are given for each guess and points lost for each word skip. It's incredibly addicting. The following is taken directly from the site:
Knoword is a game of quick thinking, smart decisions and great words. It focuses on teaching and advocating proper spelling habits, as well as good observational, analytical and typing skills. What makes Knoword different from all the other fun word games out there is that it's actually fun! With its fast-paced, addictive gameplay and a competitive and comprehensive player ranking system , Knoword pushes the limits on contemporary puzzle games and provides its players with a truly rewarding experience.
We got the idea to create an app for it. Well the app has been in the development stage for a month or so now (both iOS and Android) and it should begin the testing stage within the next few weeks, I thought I'd give everyone here a sneak-peak with a couple of screens.

Both screens are from the iOS version but they will be the same for Android (with the exception of the keyboard, I suppose)
Sign-ins will be universal, from iOS to Android to the PC version. I'm incredibly excited for this app. Let me know what you think of the website version and I'll keep this updated once the game is in the testing stages, you'll all be the first to try it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!
I love the game and would buy this for a few dollars.
nice application!!!

I couldn't believe how addicting it was the first time I played it.
Just discovered knoword.org and I'm addicted. Extremely jealous of my iPhone buddies who already have the app. I would love for you to hurry, but please take your time to ensure that it all works! Would definitely pay up to $4 for it.
I love it. I have MS and have been looking for some good games to keep my brain going!
any updates for the Android version? Thanks.
Yes the android version is currently beginning development, it was a little delayed. We have a dedicated developer now. If you have an iphone, the app has been officially released in the app store, check it out! Thanks for your continued interest.

Yep, would pay for this. Good idea for an app, and the main site is nice too. Here's to a smooth, speedy development and release.
Any updates?

Funny that you ask, there is an update! I should be receiving the beta of this app today. I'm told it's basically a copy of the iOS version and they're debating whether to overhaul the UI based on this article . Anyway, as soon as I know whats going on, or at least have the app in hand (see: on phone) I'll fire off an update here.

Hey,
we, a group of students from Austria, released a little project of ours to the market yesterday.
The game is called RunnersHigh and it's a Runner game. You play a dinosaur and jump from platform to platform.
Also it's a open source game, so you can get the code on github.
Any Feedback is highly welcome!
Check it out it's FREE!

Hi, fellow devs!
So it seems that we're going to compete in a field of "running" games, because I'm making one too Anyway, I've tried out your creation. Lovely animation, cute dino and everything looks really nice.
Some of the things I did not liked is jump mechanics - I've god some criticism for that too, so it seems that people does not like then jump is too linear. You should add some deceleration/acceleration to it.
Also, I've managed to crash your game while testing some "user behavior" like "pressing Home while playing", "locking phone while playing". You should try out things like this and see if everything is working fine after going back to application.
That's probably all for now. Good luck!
Hey SnottyApps,
Thanks for your feedback, it's always nice to get feedback from a fellow developer!
Actually the jump isn't linear and does have acceleration.
Also we tested our app with several devices and had a group of testers.
If you can reproduce a crash please send us a report (just press "send report" when the app crashes) and we'll have a look at it.
You could even have a look on the source code and fix the problem yourself. The code is available on github: https://github.com/mwebi/runnersHigh
The thing with runner games is, that there are a lot of them on the market already. I wouldn't develop one at this time. We started to work on this app in early 2011, and at that time there were hardly any runner games on android.
Today there are a lot of highly polished games on the market and if you really want to be successful in terms of making money (which wasn't our goal), you'll need a more innovative idea IMHO.
Well, I guess I should've said that it's too linear. It really does feel unnatural, especially on lower speed. Have you considered to make jump related to the "hold" instead of "tap" action?
And I can't reproduce that crash, so maybe it was a one-time glitch - sorry to scare you I'll definitely report it if it happens one more time.
There are a lot of similar games indeed, but I think that with some good or fun or both ideas it's still possible to be something. Maybe it's just an illusion - I see many lovely games burrowed by popular ones and it's my first game, so I don't know anything yet As far as running games goes I tried as many as I could and I did not find many of then which I could really enjoy. Well, "Run like hell" is amazingly well made, but I did not like the controls and I hated the amount of ads.
You can check out my game, if you like. It's in the market - "Run Pig Run". I've created a thread about it in these forums today, but, I guess, it's not very easy to get replies if you're "small" or completely new
Hello everyone! We are a team of two people, which is developing our first game in our life. Actually, I'm a programmer and I will continue to write on their own behalf. The second member of the team - the craftsman.
We had no experience in creating not that games, mobile applications in general. Add to that only one year of experience in Java. Mix all with an incredible desire to do something special. Thousands of pages of books read and sleepless nights. Well, I digress ...
Generally in this topic I would like to not only keep a diary of development, but also to talk about what is needed to make such an application. What you have to sacrifice and what invaluable experience and joy of each screw screwed receive.
Our game is called Key Of Knight.

The idea and the beginning of development began in July of this year (2014). We did not understand much. But it should be said at once. If you're just a beginner, start with a scenario and not to start programming until it thoroughly (!) will not be realized. This is really very important, you will save a lot of time in the future. Think about the concept and try to abstract the key points that can later be expanded functional with minimal changes. Greater attention should be given the choice of engine. We chose a cross-platform implementation - LibGDX. Personally, I use to fit your needs desktop version and android. All tests on the desktop, and then made the game a file to the connected device android.
But I will not weary. The main point of the game - training ability to print in multiple languages with a parallel study of these same languages.
All wrapped in a dynamic game with a bunch of beautiful animation and storyline. There is a pumping system and a variety of arts, dress up a hero.
And that's not all ...
We plan to release the game as a free to play 15 December this year, while only one location and 20 th levels. We will try to update and add new ones as soon as possible.
Now we have reached the beta test. The game is already in google play, but is only available for testers. In the next few days I'll post a link to the full version.
We will also be glad to get your opinion to answer questions. It is also interesting your opinion, what can be expected from the market, how do you perceive this game, would like to download it.
We will be happy to advice and links to similar games, stories.

Recently I developed and released an iPhone/Android game. It is simple yet challenging 2d platform game with lovable characters, pretty graphic landscapes and good banjo sounds. Well it sounds like many others...
EXCEPT it has a cool feature to customize characters with your or somebody else head directly from camera. All who tried it found it interesting and kids alone love it. I guess you will find it interesting too if you give it a try.
the website is
www.HillPiggy.me
If you are willing to try it here are the links where you can get it
PlayStore & AppStore
Your suggestions in improving it are more than welcome
If you find it interesting (I hope you do), please do help me share it
Wish you very best for holidays.
Matija
Nice, this game is super silly and funny! The idea that you can take a photo for each of the main characters is great I think it would be cool that after taking the photo, you could share a personalized screenshot with these two special characters and send it to your friends with one click
I recommend that you do a little more work on the player physics. making something look a little more realistic will get you a long way.
Hahaha, funny game man! Cheers!
The part that you can put your own picture in the game is great! What are your plans for the future versions?
gj anyways
Thank you guys for support. Last few days I was celebrating so I am now suffering + I was trying to promote game in spare time and haven't read messages earlier.
I was thinking about making physics a little fluid (as suggested) but I think it would be wiser to expend some other features, add some more endings, make Billy a bit slower, also was thinking about voiceover, maybe tutorial before running start - don’t know what to do first.
During development, I hit a wall trying to set up a screenshot feature on IOS like on android. I get it to take a shot but I can't make it open in Photos. I spent 2 weeks on trying to make it work and finally I give up and made a help page showing what buttons you should press to grab screenshot. I don't want to start something similar and spend too much time on it.
One more thing, I am using Unity to develop and it’s so funny how camera is acting in IOS so much different than in Android. I had to make a shooting page portrait on iPhone and landscape on Droid to make it work.

Don't Tap The Vane
Introduction
I don't tend to post my personal but now is the right time for that.
I'm generally developing apps and games in my spare time.
Something like a month ago I published to Google Play App Store My first name of "Don't Tap The Vane".
It's a game that some would say addictive and really fun and some would say a waste of time (entirely legitimate.(
This game is my little project I worked on a few good weeks and I was thinking hard about how to build it.
Today I decided to give it a stage because for me it's an asset and here is the best place to show and share what I love to do!
So my friends this is it. The game is currently available for free download in the Google Play store for devices running Android, and is only in its infancy so I would be very happy to hear ideas and suggestions for improvement and conservation so by that I could eventually - learn and develop more application and who knows .. maybe in the future will be more: D
Details
Don't Tap The Vane
Our Facebook page
Link to download the application
The goal of this game is to click as much as possible on the gray square and gain points without touching the spinning Vane. Slowly, the vane speeds up and the games starting to be difficult. There are stages that you will get through playing the game, but be careful not to become obsessed with it..!
There's 3 Modes right now:
Regular(Arcade):
Have all the modes in 1 gameplay.
Scale:
The Tap box will get smaller by the time you click on the tapping box.
Time:
Tap as much as you can in the limit time of 40 seconds!
The game has a few extras added to it in the new version:
Achievements - During the game, the more points you gain the more medals you collect.
Leaderboard - your name will be listed with your score so you can see what the highest score and compete with your friends or in front of people worldwide. The table offers three places; 1st, 2nd and 3rd so that each day you will reach the highest score and try to compete for the first place!
Media
Summary
So that friends, is my application - my baby.
I'm more than proud to publish it here and get your support.
If you download the app and give feedback I'd love to, but if you can also give a feedback on the Google Play app's page that would be awesome.
And if you can also give a Like to our Facebook page so you can catch up on the application and the following ideas
Work on Android 1.1 really?

This is my first app ever and I'm so happy to be releasing it to everyone finally! Thank you to any/all who help me try it out.
Want to play a game of Tag with anyone in the world? Want to do it without any of that annoying running? Then have I got the app for you!
iGOT - International Game of Tag, is a free game (has a bottom ad) that everyone in the world can play, no physical contact required (or recommended). The basic premise of the game is that you will see a list of those other players in a general vicinity of you (no exact locations given). If you're IT, you can TAG any of those users. However, be careful! They can use Buffs to thwart your incoming tag, or even use a Challenge Buff (within 5 minutes) to challenge you to a duel! Best out of 3 wins and the loser becomes IT! Don't like someone in particular? Maybe their banner annoys you? Use the Vampire Buff to steal points from them when you tag them!
Want to know how many bananas you are from someone? We've got that too! Go to your settings to change your distance units, location update interval, Banner and more!
I cannot post links yet, but you can find the app on the Play Store by searching for "iGOT"
The game is still very much in development, so I'm happy to receive feedback, bug reports, suggestions, etc. I also don't have very many users yet (~100) so everyone is spread fairly thin, so please don't be discouraged if there's no one in your general area; just spread the word to family/friends and you'll be having a blast in no time!
Thank you so much to everyone for helping me with this, and I hope to see you on!
Fixed a bug in 8.6.2 where Android 10+ (SDK 30) first-time users were unable to initially login. Update 8.6.3 was pushed/approved in the store at 14:00 EST. Sorry to anyone who had any issues!
Congrats with your first app, man, keep doing it
8.6.4 (Aphrodite) Released
I've just released a small update to the game that now includes an introduction/onboarding activity that gives players the gist of the game on first run. I've also updated the Radar Boost so that, after x32, it searches surrounding "zones" from your current location, giving you way more options for whom to tag.
Can't wait to keep seeing this app grow, since the more people we have the more fun it will be. Thank you so much to anyone who's already downloaded it!
Just released Version 8.7.0 over the weekend and we have started our first event!!! First 100 people to invite 3 friends to download the game, then verify they did by emailing/PMing me their Play Games usernames will get the Flag banners purchasable for free Event ends January 1st!
Thank you to everyone who has already given this a try! We're already up over 600 users, woot!
Nice,keep it going!
