Please bring me ikaruga for droid!

I haven't really posted here before (just rather used xda for learning/issues mostly) so im sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum for requesting apps. I've done some reading and it seems a dreamcast emulator is still a ways off, but I'm not really worried about dreamcast as much as I am the game ikaruga. I only played this game a few times at a friends house but I fell in love with it. I think this game could run well on newer phones with good processors. I have a droid x and would be forever grateful to whoever could bring this game to the droid and I would totally pay for this if it were released. Just a suggestion..

I would pay for this as well! Definitely the best vertical shooter in my mind.

I agree. Not only was this game beautifully laid out and full of action, it was also a puzzle at the same time. You had to shoot the hell outta things as well as change the light/dark modes to avoid masses of bullets/missles/debri/etc...It was very hard yet challenging and you had to pretty much remember the patterns of each level in order to get further. Like you said, the best vertical shooter i've ever played in my opinion and I only played it a few times.

Ikaruga was fun. Although it wouldn't exactly be possible to do a direct port.. Especially as it's a commercial game where we don't have access to the source and DC emulation isnt great on computers. rRootage (concept based on Ikaruga, nowhere near as good) is open source I believe and was ported to the PSP a while back. Kenta Cho's games are awesome

Ya, I've read nothing but troubles with dreamcast emulation. Even though new phones could handle it, I know that the process is very difficult (even though I know very little about programming/development). Even a game like you mentioned thats based off Ikaruga would suffice. I want a vertical shooter thats not just shootem up but actually has a puzzle-like atmosphere where you have to you use your problem-solving skills as well as be very quick and strategic with your enemies. I was just enchanted by a game that was so difficult when you first started but got easier as you remembered where to switch light/dark as well as handle an onslaught of enemies (who were also more weak/resistant to each of the modes which added for even more strategy.). Almost impossible at first, but with promise to move further if you had good skills; unlike some games that are basically impossible to beat without cheats. You'd think I played this game a lot seeing how much I'm talking about it but I only was able to make it through the first 2 levels or so b/c it was so difficult and I only got to play it a few times at a friends.
Back to the subject though, someone pretty pleeease develop a game similar to this.

What type of games do you prefer?

Hi.
I have talked with friend of mine who has developed couple Android applications about making some games for android. We have worked together before on one game and we have working 3d engine that was successfully ported to Android.
My part in this will be to make up some cool game, and to do all graphics (2d and 3D).
So if you don't mind, I will love to hear from rest of android users, what types of games do you prefer or will like to play on your mobile device. That will help us a lot in this early stages to make some concept that will be interesting to more people.
Thank you all.
P.S. you can chose multiply types in poll.

Simple, addicting, and smooth.

Games that can be played with one hand. Of course good graphic is always good. Whenever I'm riding subway, I have to stand and have to play with one hand cause the other hand is holding a pole to hold my body. It sucks cause the only game i can play that's fun with one hand is Abduction!

city jump!
good one handed fun

yeah; it's a nice game; I was kind of suprised by it.
P.S. I don't wan't to sound inpatient or annoying, but I would like if more people had given their vote... Topic has over 170 views, and just 12 votes... It will be really helpful if i get more votes.
Thank you all once again.

I prefer single player RPGs like the Elder scrolls games, mmorpgs are always full of annoying kids and griefers.

I'm a big fan of simple games. What I would like to see the most is some kind on simcity like game. Something that I can play casully at work but has depth to it.

agreed but I still enjoy SLASH'EM on my N1

How do you select the poll using the xda app?
As for gaming, simple addictive and easy control, angry birds is obviously one of the best portable games, love pocket legends but it requires a good solid internet connection to play, not always available, wordsmith is probably my favourite a game played using minimal internet use online but at your leisure, basic scrabble really.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I vote for some good bluetooth/wifi adhoc multiplayer games, co-op would be cool, Golden Axe or BubbleBubble style, not internet multiplayer games as I have a PC for that.

I play quick games on my phone.
I go for a morning coffee and my mates are not there so a play a bit of angry birds, simple 5 min games. Nip to the loo to sit on the throne and the same there. more in-depth games i stick to the PC
But saying that I did enjoy playing The Scummvm games i.e. monkey island on my Palmtop, as long as I can end the game suddenly and pick up where I left off the next time.

nice games to entertain your baby or toddler

Hi, let's create a list of good apps for babies and toddlers. I know I know it is not a good idea to trust your precious android phone to these curious creatures, but every parent want to have some quite time or a handy tool to keep your baby busy for a few minutes while you are shopping or standing in line.
Here is our favorite apps. Do not expect hours of gameplay from them, you can only keep your baby interested for 4-7 minutes each time, but sometimes that's all the time you need
Learn Animal Sounds Free - super nice and bright pictures of animals, great sounds they make and I love the voice of the girl saying animal names (Free)
Toddler Lock - very simple app to draw on screen that locks your phone keys (Free)
Happy Baby Faces - for some reason, many babies love to see pictures especially with babies on the. this app also locks your phone keys. $0.99 but give it a shot
Talking Tom Free - our boy loves when Tom talks back to him, no lock mode though so it is not baby friendly per say

I don't have any apps to contribute to the list, but it just occurred to me that if someone could make a small, inexpensive android tablet, maybe a little bit bigger than a iPod touch, I would love to buy them for my 8-year-old twins. Just something that could connect to WIFI and let them play some games would be cool.
-- and they could stay the hell away from my Desire Z
My daughter is bugging my about iPod touch -- but I really don't want to get her something that expensive that I can't even change the battery on it.

I have pandigital novel which I got for $120 but our kid loves my phone more I bet even if there is such thing as "kid's tablet" they still will want _your_ phone

Toddler safe Video App
I'd love to see an app like toddler lock but which plays media and locks down the keys. My 2 year old loves watching his ripped Mr Tumble DVD on my phone but the inevitable fingers on the screen and trackball pause or stop the video!

great idea! I'll tell my friend who developed happy baby faces, maybe he will create one

I think this is what she was referring to Zoodles's Kid Mode
Kid Mode is by far my favorite as it updates content as it grows with you child. It pulls content from other sites so you end up with a nice mix of games and videos. My boy (2) will spend an indefinite amount of time playing this game...

thanks for suggestion! I tried it before but could not figure out how to run anything to my shame and lock mode was incomplete - it did not lock the home and power keys. But I'll give it another shot

My 19 month old son loves mobile phones and remote controls (i let him play around with my older Samsung but not my HD2) but he seems to like X-Piano, i actually think it's a really cool app myself, plays all different types of sounds from acoustic grand piano to music box to synthbass to church organ and loads others and best of all it's free from the market

lol i also encourage my little boy (15 months old) who loves that talking cat.
He doesnt get his hands on my hd2, bit reluctant about my android tablet too but i do just give him my mrs's iphone (its bascially a toy anyway)

[Free Game] Constant C - new puzzle action game

Hello!! I'm a student and a self claim indie game developer in Taiwan!!
me and my friends made a game called "Constant C".. it's on Android Market now.. for free!!
It's Powered by AndEngine ! and we put a lot of effort in it....
so Please!! take a look! if you like it.. help us spread the words about this game.. we will be really grateful
------------------------------------------------------------
Genre: 2D Platform, Puzzle, Action !
System Require: Multi-Touch Screen, IQ Above Average
Tag: Time, Gravity, Awesomeness !
In a distant future, a dark force gained control of the universe. Everything stopped moving – the time is frozen and gravity is gone. The only hope of recovering the universe relies on “Constant C,” a robot gifted with a small circle of power, allowing Constant C to move and to revive the time and gravity within the circle. When Constant C approaches an object, the object becomes “alive” and when Constant C leaves, the object becomes frozen again. By making good use of Constant C’s power, your mission is to remove obstacles ahead and find a way for Constant C to reach the control center of the dark force.
There are 29 levels. To solve the puzzles, you need to be intelligent and creative. Each puzzle gives you a new experience, and along the way, your will learn important skills that can help you solve the puzzles. The unique feature of Constant C will give you a mind blowing experience. So, be quick! The universe is waiting for you.

It's amazying.
I made it to halfway through world 2- here are my thoughts.
This game is beautiful- it looks great, and the way it works is absolutely fantastic. I can honestly say it is one of the best games I've yet to play on Android- maybe the best.
That being said, it is way too big. 5MB should be the max before installation to SD should be implemented- this game is over 20. Either work on reusing more textures, or have it install to SD.
I was playing with the device laying down, and the gravity button was flipping out- switching every update cycle and just going crazy. You may want to have it display an X if the values aren't high enough to justify a gravity switch (I love the way this mechanic works, by the way!)
Fix these issues, and most standard prices you would ask for would be too low for this game- I would gladly pay for more worlds. (Though, if more worlds were added, you may want to work on the difficulty curve- if you want my thoughts on that, let me know). Again, great job!

Thanks that's huge compliment you give us there.. we are really appreciate.
We will work on the to SD feature.. since a lot of people had demanded it! I'll update it ASAP.
there are some reason makes us can't reuse texture though
first .. our artist is new in drawing texture for games... he just draw whatever he feels right and not considering about texture size and reusability. (we will do it better next time)
second.. in some device.. too many sprites makes game really laggy.. so we tend to use huge jpg file for background
i don't know anything about marketing on android app.... because we are totally noobies in this... Actually this game is not only our first game on android.. it's our first android app if you don't count "Hello World" as a app XD
After we think we learn enough to build this game. we go straight into it. It take us 5 months to build because we need to learn new stuff along the way
I use XNA mostly, and my brother use c++ and some graphic engine from his lab, neither did we use andengine before. and we love it!
We are thinking putting ads in it....and yet it's something we never tried XD, so I might need to check documents. After that we will release a clean ads free version for 0.99$ i think..for us.. most important thing is people can play our game. and feel it's not waste of time. those few hour must actually means something

Downloaded to my htc inspire 4G. I Am amazed by what you have created. This is awsome! I love free...but this needs to be a paid game. It is worth every penny.

This game is pretty awesome. Albeit I've had my phone for about 2 months, I've never played a game with these game mechanics. Very original and an amazing first app. I also just started learning android and will be developing my first app in the coming months, and I don't think it will be nearly as good.

thanks
thanks!I think you will do it great too! we just began java programming 4 months ago!
It's easy to learn!

Haha I love the system requirement 'above average IQ'
it's a great game!

Just read about this on the portal. Downloaded it on my A100 and started playing, will have to download it to my EVO 3D later. Love it. This is definitely better than some of the games that other devs charge for. Excellent work.

Last night i try it on galaxy S, and work superb, thanks

I am trying to download it through market, but I am getting device incompatibility message. I am using Samsung Galaxy S GT I9003. Does it have region restrictions, I am trying from India

Can't find good "story-driven" games

Hey guys!
I love playing games (on my PC, Xbox or Smartphone)!
I really hate how much "casual" game junk is in the playstore and I can't seem to find some good "story-driven" games...
Do you have some suggestions for me?
For your interest:
I love playing RPGs (gothic, risen, the witcher, dragon age, skyrim etc.)
Shooter are good, as long as they have a good story!!
I really dislike everything casual (like farmville etc.) so please don't suggest me stuff like that
Money is no problem so post everything you got as long as it's worth it
hope you guys can help me, because i'd really like to play some good games on my smartphone when I work abroad...

I suggest you to try the Sorcery! games. For now there are two parts (a third one in development) and they are completely story driven. Both of them look like a tabletop style game, with combat, nice hand drawn images which shows you how the game universe looks like, spells and many paths to choose (great replay value). Since money are no problem ,I fully recommend touy them. Also, after you finished the first game, you can sync your saves to the second one to continue the story with the skills, energy, items and gold from the first one (it also influence your game very much, both in gameplay and in relations with the NPCs).

I'd recommend you Aralon - Sword and Shadow. Also try Limbo.

Purchased it yesterday as it is on sale
Will look "avalorn" up later when I'm home

Thomas Was Alone. I'm not joking. I guess it's a puzzle platformer, but it has excellent narration and a charming story. I'd compare it to Portal but without the offensive parts. Not casual like FarmVille, but more casual than RPGs. So, your call, but I think it's a great game.
