Hey Everyone,
I just finished a game I was working on for the android platform.
Check it out. Look in the market for "Space Blasters".
It is completely free, and I would really appreciate some constructive criticism and reviews.
Thanks.
You should post the APK here to
Hey...looks good but does need some work.
Things I would recommend are making the cursor move faster, adding more designs for the asteroids, the ability to save current level, and a minimum distance for the appearance of the asteroids.
This has potential to be a lot of fun and I will be keeping it on my phone.
Please rate it from 1 to 10.
I am looking for a new game..
I love space shooters, I'll let you know what I think.
It is a good start but still obviously needs work. Every time I played it, I got a FC at some point during the game. Some of the comments in the market said there was a problem with the control, to me it felt fine although it took a minute to figure out. Controlling with the trackball would be nice so I can play the game laying down. I noticed the game will change orientation when I moved the phone around, and when that happens the game stops. Ill have to hit back and restart the game again. Please disable that, either staying in landscape or portrait is fine.
I liked the unique (first person) point of view.
Some of the asteroids popped up and hit me before I could reach them in time, not a big deal but seemed a little unfair. I liked the effect of the broken screen upon impact. Maybe a short vibration when that happens would add to the gameplay.
Recommendations:
Of course fix the force closes.
Add trackball support
Animate the asteroids a little, like have some of them spinning.
Have some large asteroids spilt into pieces that have to be shot also.
Make the asteroids come from the center and have mutiple at one time.
Make the asteroids start out small and get bigger the closer they get.
What id like to see:
score.
maybe some other objects besides asteroids to shoot at.
at the end of the round the ship goes to light speed or some kind of cool effect.
end of round stats: accuracy, time, bonus, total shots fired, etc.
music, something techno
Ill keep the game for the updates, I hope it turns out well.
Thanks for the insight phatmanxxl.
Sorry for the late reply back. Much appreciated from my end and whoever read that post of yours.
Cool idea. There are some bugs, though.
For example:
1) My phone (MyTouch 3G) is in portrait mode
2) I open the game
3) I start playing. Go on to level 2.
4) I realize that the number of asteroids left (I guess that's what it means?) is on the bottom right of the screen and is therefore flipped 90 degrees.
5) I flip my phone so that it's in landscape orientation
6) The screen dims briefly while it switches to landscape mode
7) The game changes orientation and now the game is in portrait mode
8) I flip my phone to portrait orientation, and the game flips to landscape, etc...
9) I realize that no more asteroids are coming my way and the number is at 0.
Keep up the good work. I'm sure it can get better
Cool. Thank you!
@net_vampire32,
You had posted this same thread 5 times in different places. That is spamming and it is against forum rules. I have merged all the posts from those threads and place the remaining one under Android apps and games since it seems to be the most appropriate place for it, as it is not device specific.
If you have questions, let me know. Thanks.
Hi,
I would highly appreciate your beta tests and feedback of my recently released game - look for "Guess 2D" in the android market. Guess 2D is similar to good old mastermind, but I have added second dimension [shape] on top.
With 4 pieces you get 2^16 (65k) combinations.
All comments are appreciated! I hope you will enjoy the puzzle.
Good mind fitness. My score 12 rounds first attempt. Not easy for new players to learn. Could do with more information on how to play.
Thanks for this.
15 tries! pretty simple if u read the instructions
Feedback
Could you remove the About and Restart buttons from the screen. Make them accessible via the menu key. Will give more screen space to see the work done on puzzle and will avoid accidental press of restart in the middle of a puzzle.
thanks for feedback
Fair point - I think I will need to add a start screen to make sure new users will see the About button even if they do not press Menu during gameplay. Then I will hide buttons in the game screen. Also I am considering adding another gameboard that will fit 5 pieces [with separate score tracking].
6 tries, played a lot of mastermind years ago.
Suggestion: make a confirm button, don't confirm automatically after fitting last block. It's nice to have a look it everything fits before confirming. This button could reside on the next row i.e.
Would be useful to have more instructions on how to play.
Great game! Always loved board games, particularly risk and mastermind. This has filled a need for me!
Scores:
Try 1 : 6
Try 2 : 4
I'll give it a break for now
My first post on XDA
I simply dont understand the game...
When i got one black circle in the 1st and 2nd row, then i thought it has to be on the specific place where the black circle appears...
I only have the confirmation that one color and one shape of all 4 is in the right place... quite random info.
Would be easier and more interesting if the black circle appears on the specific place where the right shape/color is.
Or maybe I'm not old enough never heard of mastermind.
Maybe a friendly member got a tip for me how to solve this
It would be too easy Daniel, if the black circle was in the exact spot. You should play some bubble blast first if you find this hard.

Hi Daniel, it will be easier the way you discribed it but I do not think it will be more interesting. This is not an easy puzzle - and its intended to be tough. Check the results from people in this thread - not only its possible to beat Android - also you can do it suprisingly fast.
Hope you will succeed!
very cool game!!!
hey.. right now the game is measured in rounds. the fewer rounds it takes , the better you are.
can you add a time trial? since if its measured by rounds, people can just look at the board for hours and get under 7 rounds easily.
on average i finish in 6-7 rounds in 15-20 mins. and I could b a really angry man if i accidentally pressed restart during a game. I discovered that yesterday.

It took me a while to update the code - finally next release is uploaded to the market (look for Guess2d).
Now you can enjoy 4x4 and 5x5 modes (if you find 5x5 to easy) and also the restart button has been moved to menu - I can imagine the frustration when you click it by accident after spending 15 minutes decrypting the puzzle.
Enjoy! (and any further comments or a bug report - please let me know).
new update needs super user access, why?

Hilarium, I have moved to Mobclix and their Ad SDK has requested those permissions. Frankly speaking unsure what you mean by super user access - is it any concern from security standpoint?
PS. In the market the list of permissions is: network communication, system tools, phone calls - which one is the super user you mention?
Hi everyone,
I've put my first app up on the market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.anddev.wallpaper.motion.timer
Here is the youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfADhuBjdnA
I would really appreciate everyone's feedback and impressions!
Cheers,
-=JK=-
I can´t watch the Video, because EMI has block this ?
Darn ... didn't realise how restricted that would be with a soundtrack on it.
Here's a video with no sound track:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JewxFD-zp3E
-=JK=-
Installed it and then set as wallpaper but no balls are displayed. Also there are no settings on the wallpaper. Am i missing something here?
Very cool looking...what happens if you shake it? =)
- Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G -
Xee,
You should see some balls appear when you tap the screen.
When you get 32 balls on the screen subsequent taps cause mini-explosions.
It's a very simple wallpaper, so no settings yet. I might find something to set when I update it.
Obartuckc,
At the moment, nothing happens when you shake it
It responds to the accelerometer by changing the direction of gravity on all the balls.
I could look into triggering something on a shake ... what would you like it to do?
Cheers,
-=JK=-
I like what you've done with it thus far, whatever you do can only make it more awesome! I really like how if you add a new ball on top of others they sort of fling out...perhaps shaking it could make them pop or sort of explode? That'd be neat. Whatever you decide, keep up the good work!
- Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G -
this totally reminds me of those liquid motion desk toys...
that's a live wallpaper i would like
That's great to hear PatcheZ!
That's exactly the feel I was going for.
I'm hoping to figure out a way to extend to something like these: http://www.officeplayground.com/Liquid-Motion-C23.aspx
It'll be a solid body physics sim until something as great as http://www.box2d.org/ comes along for fluids.
Cheers,
-=JK=-
Man, you got balls.
nice job with this
Thanks for the comments.
-=JK=-
I would've loved to see the video, but apparently you've used some music from EMI and they've blocked the video because of it. Could you reupload it without the (alleged) copyright infringing music track?
TheCreat,
Sorry about that. There is a link in the video description to this version which has no music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JewxFD-zp3E
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers,
-=JK=-
This is a really cool wallpaper, thanks.
Very Nice, but once all of the balls have reached the top or bottom of the screen there is nothing going on.
Could the ball toggle their state after they have been at the top or bottom a certain amount of time?
For example: after a blue dropper is at the bottom for x seconds, it becomes a green floater and floats upwards and vice versa.
Thanks for the feedback guys, great to hear.
Spauldio,
When you change homescreens the gravity should switch ... which will make all the balls start to fall and float again!
Cheers,
-=JK=-
PS - I'm using the onOffsetsChanged method to accmplish this behaviour - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/wallpaper/WallpaperService.Engine.html#onOffsetsChanged(float, float, float, float, int, int)
- but it seems a little inconsistent in when it's called ... sometimes called on "half" changes to the homescreen. Haven't been able to figure out how to make it robust ... I just switch the gravity flag when it's called.
Version 1.1 !!!
Updated to version 1.1
I've kind of combined suggestions from Obartuckc and Spauldio. I've added a shake control, so that when you shake it gravity is switched and the balls all start flowing up and down again.
Hope this goes down well
Cheers,
-=JK=-
Hey, just installed this, it's great! But how's battery life?
Thanks NickHu!
I haven't noticed any difference in battery usage to previous live wallpapers I have used.
Is there some benchmark I can use to gauge battery usage of my app?

Hi guys,
I have released a game called Flicky Circles. Flicky Circles is simple, fast and thinkful android game to play with your friends or against a computer. Originally inspired by OLO. Flicky Circles is free in a small size apk. Give it a try. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you for your support!
About:
Each player starts with 6 circles in 3 different sizes. Circle gets smaller each time it lands on player's starting point (white color). Goal is to flick your circles into same colored ending zone and achieve more points than opponent. With two or more same sized circles, player gets a bonus point...
Supported:
- any resolution from 320x480 - 1080x1920
- android 2.3 and higher.
More details on google play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goranhorvat.flickycircles
FB fan page:
https://www.facebook.com/FlickyCircles
I hope you will like it.
I would like to have some opinions about Flicky Circles. Have you tried? Is there "missing" something in the game and would make it more playable for you?
Very nice, really polished and a great interface. Fun game idea. The text in the help screen/intro could use some polish.
"Each player starts with an equal amount of circles representing their moves."
"Each circle gives the player a point when it reaches their colored zone. If 2 congruent circles are landed, the player gets a bonus point"
"Reach the colored space and flick away towards the opponents circles to defeat the opponent."
"Player captures the opponent's circle if it lands in their starting area. The circle becomes smaller."
"Lock button freezes circles in place for one round. It can only be used once per game."
Feel free to tweak those for brevity if you need to.
Also, on the game pause screen, the text doesn't change colors when you tap it like it does on the main menu. This kind of has a jarring effect because you can't tell if it detected your touch or not.
Thank you for helping me with words. I will update these things including pause screen UI in the next version.
Downloaded
This looks like a fun game. Just downloaded it. I'll take it for a spin this weekend and give you my feedback
Lookout flags it as adware
I've just installed it and Lookout pop's up a message "Flicky Circles" is adware
See attached screenshot
EDIT: it also gives this detail:-
APP REPORT
CLASSIFICATION: Adware.Android.Rev.Mob.a
This app may contain the RevMob ad network. It may create push notification ads that appear in your notification bar. It may not be clear to you that this application is creating these ads. It also may send personally identifying information, such as your email or IMSI, to RevMob’s servers.
Hi fangthorn, I don't use Lookout, so thanks for detailed explanation. I'll remove revmob from Flicky Circles within 24hours.
I had a quick go at lunchtime. I can see this being very addictive
Apart from the popup ad it's a fun game :good:
Looking nice
Games looking nice, but not able to play in my defy.
My defy is running JB 4.1.2 (Quarx), when I open game menu screen will come and when I press single or double player again it s return to main menu with different color, is this problem with rom r .................
Thanks
Hi navin, I don't understand exactly what kind of problem you have? Can you play Flicky Circles? Colors are supposed to change each play.
graylowes, thank you for your feedback.
I downloade it just for giggles, but i really like it.
Its simple and addictive. And the 2 Player mode on one device is
cool. i´ll play it with a friend the next days and see how they like it.
Good Job! Hope for more cool thing to come!
Great job!:good:
game play is very good, a little fast i think but very good!
improving sound tracks would be nice and if possible adding some effects like Menu sound effect in OLO
Looking nice

Hi, I tested it on Nexus 7 and it works fine. Never had a problem like that. Please send me a clip on PM, from app start to the end (back to menu) so I can take a look into it. Thank you.
B!GBOY & strainhunter thank you for your words. I appreciate it.
Currently no plan for sound fx. But in the near future, I will try to add some levels where you can build some flicking skills. I hope players will like it.

I find this wonderful game to be so easy, fun, yet still has some strategy to it to keep your mind going. Bite sized games, but I keep going back again and again and again. Fantastic job! Five stars! Thank you, very much.

Hi Harvey!
I'm a big big fan of OLO on iPad... and I was really missing this game on Android (and OLO devs clearly state they are not planning to dev their game for the android platform...), so I'm very very happy that you are here developping FlickyCircles... Very promising game, thank you
:good::good::good::good::good:
Just a a few questions:
1) could you add an online play mode? (hopefully not through facebook)
2) can you list all the differences vs OLO in terms of rules and counting points? (in particular coming from OLO, I'm a bit confused about captures (when and how))
3) I hate facebook (yes, I'm quite old fashion...) ... any other way to store and share high scores?
Keep the great work )
EDIT____________________________________
Ok, I've tested further and I don't like too much your capture method because:
1) the smallest circles can't be captured (thus limiting some strategic moves)
2) we end up playing with small circles only, which is also limiting because the small ones are much less powerful
I prefer the OLO capture method where all circles are not shrunk when captured but each circles can only be captured twice (circle that can no more be captured are flickering for a brief moment). Could you maybe offer this different capture method as an option?

I'm glad you like my game.
1. Not yet, but I'll spend some time in the future and try to implement it.
2. Please visit help in the game. All rules are listed there, except maybe that lives of the circles depends on their sizes. So therefore, the smallest circle can't get any smaller and you loose it if it lands on the white zone.
3. Currently no. I made sharing with facebook just for fun. If I want to add other sharing options, game would become much larger (in KB)...
But I'm thinking of having online scores inside Flicky Circles, if that's what you prefer?
Thank you Surfinette and ghostinrags!

Hi guys
I am a software engineering student, eager xda reader and in my (little) free time i like to mess around with my android phone. So i developed a little game over the last half year. It's called Shape Rotate.
I wanted to do a simple but new game, not another flappy bird clone. So finally i put the first version online in the playstore yesterday, here is a short description:
In my game you always see two equal shapes, in random rotations. Your task is to rotate the outer shape so that it is equally aligned to the inner one - once they are aligned equally tap the screen anywhere to get the next one. That sounds easy, but since time is not on your side (you gain some extra time every time you get the two shapes aligned identically) it gets really tricky once the shapes are not that obvious any more. The goal is to survive as long as you can.
It would be really great if you check it out, i would really appreciate feedback (or, even better: positive reviews )
Here is the playstore link: Shape Rotate in google play
It is of course free (no in-app purchases or what-so-ever), and i plan to add a lot more different shapes in the future! I attached some screenshots of the app, and i also added a demo video in the playstore description.
Great game. Has great potential to be a time waster. There does seem to be some lag between the shape changes that can prematurely end your game. Get that timing down and you've hit a home run.
As for some suggestions to add. Maybe have levels to unlock similar to an angry birds setup. In level one hand similar shapes with minimal colors, next thing to unlock, add another shape or two with an additional color. Thus making each level progressively harder.

Thx for your feedback! Regarding the lags, may i ask which device you are using?
I tested it on several devices from an I9000 to my Nexus 4. The only lag i found was that on older devices it takes some time to start the game, but once it displays the first shape i haven't found any lag :s
Yes i already thought about such a thing - creating different "shape packages" and unlocking them time after time. That is definitely a good suggestion for the future and i will soon start working on this. This now is just a first version where i wanted to check out how the game mechanics work and how people react to it.

I'm running on an N4 with KK 4.4.4 and hellscore b47, most kernel settings default.
To be sure I'm understood, I solve one shape and before the transition to the next set of shapes, there is a noticeable pause.
This is a good concept. There’s a lag also when rotating the outer shapes. Though this might be because of my slow samsung galaxy tab.
Overall, this is a good gameplay.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B48cqoutz8n3dDFnbTJvRm1XOVU/edit?usp=docslist_api
There should be an mp4 video to illustrate the lag.
Seems there may be an issue with the timer as well.

hm, well it could be that what you think is a lag is actually my poor description and/or implementation?
The playing mechanics should be: you rotate the outer shape so that it is correctly aligned. IF it is so, then you tap anywhere on the screen to "submit" it. if it is correct you get the next shapes.
(The reason why it cannot "auto submit" the moment it is correctly aligned is because then it would be trivial, you would just rotate it until it snaps in - thats why you need that extra "next shape please"-tap)
The possible rotation is actually split into 12 different angles, so there are 11 different angles with which shapes can appear.
The best way to control it is to drag with a finger on the border of the screen (or use two fingers as in normal rotation gestures). you have to drag the finger a bit until the shape snaps in to the next one.
so could it be that it's because i didn't explain the intended controls enough? If so, do you have any suggestions to improve that, or how to better explain the way to play it?
really really appreciating your feedback btw :good:

I may not have read it if you wrote it. When initially testing something like this I go for intuitive. The extra tap isn't.
What about doing the the auto next based on a touch release. You know when the shape is being rotated, the screen is being touched. Can you detect when a finger is removed? There would be no more rotation and wouldn't allow just spinning randomly to get it to snap as you describe.
EDIT:
Looking it up it's called a touch event using MotionEvent class with ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_UP

That is actually a quite interesting suggestion! I tried it out, and it feels kind of nice. it also makes the game easier, maybe i have to reconsider the additional time gain... I created a debug build, would be nice if you would download and try it and tell me what you think ( you have to deinstall the appstore version first, since this one is signed with my local debug key)
It now checks the correct alignment each time you lift your finger from the screen.
Edit: i think that is a gamebreaker because it makes the game way to easy. you just have to swipe very quickly on the border, and due to the "auto" check you always get the alignment correct very quickly.
another version would be this one. here it is also checked on touchUp but if the alignment is wrong it jumps back in the initial state. that makes it even a bit harder, but also requires more focus and looking.
what do you think?
OK, going to leave this one up to you. I didn't catch a difference between the two in how they play. The first one appears to be snappier and jerky, as opposed to the second one being smoother and slower.
Either way, you nailed what I was saying. What do you think? I think this is far more intuitive. Now you just need to figure out the levels of difficulty.
The ultimate would be to have the shapes and colors auto generated with random attributes. You would not have to map anything out, the app would automagically create them.
Ok i found some issues that caused the touch input to be way to sensitive or way to unresponsive - that fixed i got some feedback that the overall control is way better now (especially on high res devices).

Once you got the current control mechanism people don't think to much about it - so i'm not quite sure if it is really that much benefit. I will test that out over the next iterations and try gathering more feedback (about the current control and about how much people think it's good/bad).

The ultimate would be to have the shapes and colors auto generated with random attributes. You would not have to map anything out, the app would automagically create them.

That is the second big point on my todo list. but i don't really know how to start.
The best way that comes to my mind is to define different "base shapes" that are then just colored randomly. but that again would require alot of different base shapes to keep up a good variety?
at the moment i add hand drawn shapes with each update (around 170 now and using .gif its not that of a size problem anymore)
