[GAME] Rat's Retaliation

Hi guys,
Just thought I would let you know about my game Rat's Retaliation - its been in the market for a couple of months but never posted about it.
I have just released a big update and thought you might be interested.
The game is a remake/clone of the classic Windows game Rodent's Revenge. It is a skill based arcade game where you take the roll of a Rat. You have to push blocks around to trap cats and turn them into cheese. There are obstacles and threats in later levels making it very challenging.
If you were familiar with the original this remake stays very true to the original game play but also offers survival gameplay mode. If you aren't familiar with it then give it a go and experience a classic arcade game.

I have been working on the controls which a few people have commented are tricky, any suggestions on improving them would be very much appreciated! And of course any comments, feedback or ideas would be brilliant!
If you enjoy the game please leave a positive rating in the market

When I "click here" on my N1 I get "Not Found Error 404"

I just tested that link and it works fine on my phone. I have uploaded an APK installer file to the original post so you can directly install it or you can search in the android market for rat's retaliation and it should be there.
Sorry for any inconvenience!

Holy crap, as soon as I saw the screenshot, memories from so long ago came back. Downloading now.!

All the hours wasted playing this on Win 95/98 are going to come back to haunt me now! Downloading and installing as I type!

The game is fun, as it was always fun.
As for controls, the onscreed dpad in portrait mode isn't really good for me, being a rectangle. I would put it in 'normal' square setup (the same as in landscape, maybe little bigger), even though it'd mean leaving some space empty.

This brings back memories!!
My favorite game back in the Win95/98 days!
Another favorite is Chip's Challenge.

beautiful! ahh the memories...
can you make chips challenge with the level packs too?
info on level packs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chips_challenge#Internet_community

This brings back memories... Thanks!

Thanks for the great feedback!
@jackeh070 I will definitely try this idea out thanks alot!

Chips Challenge was also one of my favourites - I would like to remake it but depends on time constraints. Will let you know if I do

Wow very nice, cheese melted cats are all i remember from an old win98 system.
Oh and a snowman that eats you, ever thought about skifree?

THIS IS THE BEST ****ING THING EVER FOR ANYTHING.
I am in awe. I haven't seen this game even MENTIONED in almost 15 years.
OP, give me your address. I am sending you a blow-job.

I am very open to any suggestions to improve the game in any way if any one has any ideas or suggestions.
Also please support this game by rating it in android market - it encourages me to make more classics . Ski free would be an obvious choice for android devices, specially as the controls are so simple.

This seriously made my decade, man. 201X was marked with the second-coming of Rodent's Revenge. I will tell my children of this when they are old enough to pretend to care. Seriously, though, this game brought back a flood of Windows 3.1 memories, when I used to sit at OfficeDepot/Max/whatever that was and play on their demo computers and play Rodent's Revenge, Chip's Challenge, Minesweeper and -WISH- I could ever have something like it at home. Not too long later, we got a Hewlett-Packard 33MHz 486. And all was good.
So you could imagine my JUBILATION when I read the tweet from @xda-developers, "Android: Game: Rat's Retaliation for Android"; the name was exactly as familiar enough to make me giddy.

OMG the memories!!
tried installing it on Hero but it always comes up with 'install unsuccessful'

[GAME] Herculaneum

Hi there,
I'm a newbie in the Android world, but I hardly worked for my first app just submitted last week! Well, I worked nights and weekends, but finally I have my first job online and I'm really proud of it.
It's a casual game in which a Volcano is explosing and people is running to be safe. The player should pick-up and drag the people on the boat in the harbour, ready to sail. More people saved, more points.
From the Amazon description:
What's that rumbling sound? Uh oh. The mountain is erupting!
It's 79 A.D. and Mount Vesuvius is blowing its stack. The Roman town of Herculaneum lies in the path of destruction.
Thousands of people will be smothered in mud and hot ash unless the town can be evacuated. A ship is ready in the port, but can the people reach it in time? This is an animated game for Android that all ages will enjoy.
Herculaneum was an actual town that was completely destroyed in the 1st-century eruption of Vesuvius. This game brings the tragedy to life with dramatic visuals.

}
Clearly, after some level, the people will run very fast and the challenge is to catch the minimal amount of people to pass the stage.
Sometimes, a strange man will pass, wearing a black suit... are you sure you want to put on the boat with the others?
Players will be able to share theirs scores on a global leaderboard and they can see theirs ranks.
Besides, I recently added the "challenge" feature. In fact, you could challenge a friend or any player you want, betting virtual coins (the Aurei, the ancient romain coins) and win.
Anyone have 15 coins at the start of the game to use. Well, if it'll be interesting for players, I'll think about a way to share Aurei or to acquire them during the game.
Well, we enjoyed achieving our first game and we hope it would be funny for you too!
Here it is also the QRCode:
Besides, all the suggestions are welcomed! We're improving the game adding different features for next versions.
Have a good experience!

A Newbie-Made a Game
You are a newbie and have code a game..yours post link is also referred by XDA Team...good going man..
Keep it up

Thank you guy!
The game still need improvements, mainly on debug (i don't know why sometimes Galaxy S owners write to me that the game doesn't work), but we're proud of this first result.
We're already working on another game, different kind, that should be available after next summer.
Stay tuned

Can't wait to download this and give it a shot. I actually visited Herculaneum last summer, was really awesome!
Lou

Downloaded! Looks pretty fun.

I'm glad you like it
I live 20 km from Herculaneum / Pompeii, two places to visit at least one time in life, awesome! The history of our Volcano (the Vesuvius) is really fascinating and I would like to think about a different kind to spread this story all over the world. So I though about a game and we're proud of our first results
Anyway, for all those like it, please leave me a comment on the Market (five stars are appreciated ) because this is one of the possibilities we have to be known everywhere. And if you want, subscribe to our the Facebook fan page.
All suggestions or comments are welcomed!!!!

I don't see the correlation between mount Vesuvius and anime characters.

Yes, this is a choice. When I asked my artists, I ask for such characters. They would be: funny, scared, cute, just like anime manga. Besides, I considered that on a 3" screen we couldn't use characters with a lot of details and anime, with theirs simple lines, would do the job.
Anyway, the contrast between people style and the rest of the game is clear and I know that not everybody will like them.
They're cute for me

Maybe add anime style to the bg also? Would be very attractive.

Yes, we're thinking about it and preparing different bg in anime style. It would also give a better "continuity" in drawings

The guys are really nice and I like a lot theirs drawings

Hello everybody,
the game is still under development and new features will be available soon.
Besides, I'd like to know if anyone would translate it in different languages but:
italian, english, french, spanish, german, russian (I'm waiting for russian in these days).
It isn't hard, almost 200 words.
Many thanks to all the Herculaneum gamers and I hope to see you also on our facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/Herculaneum.Android

App Description
Connect 4 is an enjoyable classic, but now, thanks to Android technology, you can enjoy Connect 4 with an interesting twist. Gravity Wins is based on the two-player game, however every few rounds, the board rotates changing the physics, allowing the pieces to fall into new positions depending on the gravity orientation. Now that can be a game changer.
To win, you need four of your stones in a line. The line can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. The active or winning player is highlighted at the top of the screen. The number in the upper-right hand corner tells you how many rounds are left until the next field spin.
Currently, two people play on one Android or one person against a AI-Player
All Permissions are because of Ad Support
Product Features
App to SD enabled
Enjoy the classic game, Connect 4, but now with a twist
Try to line up 4 of your stones while alternating turns with your opponent
Watch the board rotate every few rounds creating a shift in stones
Play against a Friend or against a Computer Player

Thanks for the post!! It's an fun game to play with nice affects!!

Amazing Concept!
I'll go try it now..
It's a pretty neat and uniguq game-mechanic. that gravity-twist that you give every four turns (is the time period fixed?). Maybe, you could randomize it and pump up the AI to make it more challenging.
Nice Game, though!
Good Work!

does the android market tell you that? because we already tested Gravity Wins on a HD2. We are not really sure how we can tell the market that it should allow the installation on any device, because the engine can scale on any screen.
If you like I can send you the APK directly. Just PM me

[GAME][2.2+]Scribble Racer

Hi guys,
I would like to show you my game "Scribble Racer"! It's a game developed for the Samsung Galaxy Note series. It’s best to play it with an ‘S Pen’, but it can also be played with the finger on other Android devices.

}
The goal of the game is to keep the pen (or the finger) on a track which is scrolling down faster and faster as long as you can. Collect fruits, candies and stars for some extra points (stars act as point multipliers).
The game won the 3rd prize at the Samsung Smart App Challenge 2012 and was selected as one of the Top 5 S-Pen Apps by Android Authority.
Game is available on Google Play for FREE.
Trailer:
Level Pack Teaser:
I hope you enjoy playing the game,
Wolfgang

There's a facebook fanpage available now: http://www.facebook.com/ScribbleRacer
Would be cool if you could help me to spread the game by getting a fan :good:

nice graphics, but need more frames per second

I liked the idea and the reviews were moderate, so I downloaded the app. Works great with the finger, by the way. After about half an hour I found myself uninstalling it out of boredom.
Maybe implement a level system with different themes to flavour it up a little overall, it's alright I guess.

Downloading the game as I type
---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------
Ok initial impressions:
I would remove the (s pen) from the title of the game, it might scare people off who don't have the note.
Make a super easy difficulty, jk lol.
On hard difficulty, have it gradually increase the speed because it is hard to start off with the first curve, I lose almost instantly
I'll let u know when I think of anything else, thanks for the game

Really good game, tried it last night. Harder than one would imagine, that's a good thing!

I did try it. A good game with nice graphics.

Thanks, I think I will remove the "S Pen" soon. But I'm not sure yet. On the one hand the "S Pen" in the title helps to be found by people who search for "s pen games" for example and on the other you'r right, it might scares people.
Currently I have the impression that the difficulties are choosen quite good. I tried a lot of different settings. Now almost everyone can play the easy mode straightaway and everyone fails at least the first time in hard mode - it should be hard
Thanks all for your feedback!

Sounds fun, but I wonder how well it will run on my X10 which has horrible touchscreen panel.

Tracks meed to be more randomized. Got bored because it's the same pattern track over and over. Gets easy to memorize.
Other than that, the game has a great concept. Can't wait to see more.

Nice idea
Really nice idea. I like it.

Operation Undead 2D Action Adventure game with plot twisting story

I worked on this for a while its not a long game but I paid attention to every detail. You play as Agent Mason who starts out trapped with fellow survivors underground. Each level has a cut scene that gets deep and deeper into the storyline. Its really fun with plot twist. At the core of itis a 2D shooting game with storytelling.

Thanks you so much for the feedback, I really worked on this game to have the fun factor in it.

I'am trying to think what should I do for an update. Should I make an endless part or more levels.

Alright guys its slowly moving up the charts. You can be part of history knowing you helped a indie developer get a real game with no IAP to the top of the charts. Here is were I'am at now
Lets say yes to free games without IAP!!

Awesome game, good background score and really enjoyable storyline. Would love to see more awesome work from you in the future.
Cheers! Keep up the good work!
P.S. Loved the catchy Abbreviations of the agent 'codenames'

Awesome!

The game is going back and forth between 220-240 on the US charts in top new free adventure. I'am praying on a breakout moment , hoping operation undead picks up a little more steam and pushes upwards.

Totally crazy game, I wish you climb those charts quickly!

This graphic !
I like engine and ads ( yep, i like ads because do not disturb ) But the graphics are poor, reaaaly poor. And if you press left or right move button and spam A you shoot faster and animation breaks.
But the game is playable but with the bug on the shooting is terribly easy.

Thanks for all the support so far guys, I really did my best to make a great game but the journey continues. I'am still on the charts around 200-300 area for last couple of days I can't seem to crack any higher. But thats ok I'am working on another game now. Here is the chart position I'am in now

That does indeed look very funny. How is it going?

I use appbrain to track my chart position. It gives you good stats but is always around 2-3 days behind but catches up after a week.

I had a bit fun the other day...
Any idea what may cause this? Using some "strange" advertising provider or?
Of course I tapped "ignore"

Yes I got that too I checked with Norton , they said Airpush Ads is the reason. I sent email why Norton said something to the effect of Ads on device itself i.e. notification Ads in device tray where you recieved regular notifications. I said I just used the banner ADs feature but Norton says it doesn't matter all airpush Ads get same warning. So its a generic warning since I don't use notification ADs.
