[GAME] Pax Britannica - one-touch real-time strategy game

Over the last 3 weeks I ported the lua code from Pax Britannica to Android. I used libgdx for that. I only implemented the two player mode so far. There are also some differences in the speed of the units. This is because of the smaller screen resolution and the so decreased distance between the factorys.
Pax Britannica is a one-touch real-time strategy game by No Fun Games. Two players battle it out underwater, struggling to be the last one standing!
How to Play
Select your ship to start a battle against the computer. Select two ships to start a local multiplayer battle.
Touching your game area (Left screen for player 1, right screen for player 2) spins the needle on the radial menu in the middle of the player's factory ship. The needle will only travel as far as the player's current resources allow. Resources (gold? seaweed? who knows!) accumulate over time.
Releasing the touch creates a ship that corresponds to the quadrant that the needle is pointing at.
Fighter: Small, fast and cheap. Great at chasing down bombers.
Bomber: Shoots slow projectiles that do massive damage to frigates or enemy factory ships!
Frigate: A great hulk of a ship that fires volleys of heat-seeking torpedoes. Effective against fighters.
Upgrade: Improve your factory ship to accumulate resources more quickly.
Ships you spawn fight automatically using the latest in artificial aquatelligence technology. The player who keeps their factory ship alive wins!
This is a complete rewrite/port of the orginal game available for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux:

works very nice on my SGS2. ty!

Game looks interesting. No issues so far.

Does someone got a Motorola Defy? The Defy seems to have input problems... :/

Works well on my HD2. Very cool game. With some added multiplayer over the net would make it amazing.

works awesome on my Nexus One

Works fine on Nexus One GRJ22. Maybe our screen is a little small for this game, but that's all.

First time i've tried this game and I think it's great
I agree that multi-device multiplay would take it to a whole new level
No errors or anything so far.

This is really good, just needs better graphics

Realy cool game and works great on my desire. Need some level adjustment because it is to easy to win

I cant install on my nexus S... the market dont allow that.

Worked fine on Samsung Galaxy S but wasn't available on market for ZTE Light (V9 tablet)
What are the system requirements?

It needs the following hardware features

ZTE Light (V9 tablet) is listed as a supported device. Don't know why it won't let you install. :/

I really like the game!
It's the most simple game (control-wise) I've ever seen but I just keep playing it
- Some kind of level system would be awsome (keep upgrades but harder or different enemies fe.). At the moment it's a bit repetative vs cpu.
- Multi-device MP sounds cool.
- Could you have 3 or 4 player/cpu battles?
Keep up the good work!

Cheers!

Awesome port man. Maybe turn up the difficulty a little (same prob I have with the OG) but other then that perfect. 10/5

Fun game, really simple controls and is addictive!
I'd like to have it look nice on qHD screens though (for my phone), could you post the source for me to try doing that? Thanks!

Can it be posted on internet for multiplayer mode?

Is it still to weak or now too strong? I will include a options screen where you can choice between different difficult levels at a later time.

I just uploaded new version that fixes a bug with ad placement on phones with high density screen (my detection of tablets was wrong - I forgot about high density phones). I work on new levels, but it takes time - I have to make new graphics (most are public domain images from openclipart.org but I have to make many more) and music and design levels.
I wonder if Feint would be viewed positively? I personaly dislike it, so I didn't try to add it yet...

Ah, no wonder the ad keep bugging me from playing the game. Downloading the latest version right now.

Dig it, thx. nice job!

Nice game.

This is strange. I see Motorola Atrix (Olympus) on supported devices list and it's Tegra2 (so it's more than OK for this game) but there is no MB860 on the list - not on the supported list and not on the unsupported list - strange. Edit: maybe it was only a temporary problem with the Market? It had some problems yesterday.

Ok.. found the problem!!
User Error!!
I forgot I had changed my LCD density from 240 to 215, when I changed it back it showed my device as being compatible.
Thanks for your time and great game! very fun, and the wife loves it on her Atrix too!

New levels are out. I'm thinking what next - new episode (educational probably - for kids), even move levels?

Thanks, really nice game!

ANDROID MARKET LINK
A new FPS was released on the Android Market recently, The Dead: Chapter One. The game is yet another attempt to replicate the COD: Zombies formula(hurray!). Although not explicitly mentioned in the Market description, this game is fully Xperia Play optimized! The analog sticks and buttons all work perfectly, and the touch controls disappear when you slide the gamepad out! I have played with the touch controls and they remind me of the controls for FPS games on Android before Gameloft. The Xperia Play saves the day once again.

Awesome! I was wanting a third person break from all the two stick zombie shooters.
I'm hoping this is more like L4D than COD:Zombies though :S
Jesus... I'm officially 20 games behind on updating my Xperia PLAY game list now
EDIT: Looks like they didn't add R800a to the device check -_- doesn't show up in the Game Launcher or work with the gamepad controls for me.

Controls are great... game is a bit boring after a while though.....

This game is awesome the controls works really good for it too

No it doesn't. Also I'd hardly qualify this game as awesome, you aren't missing much. You run around a 4 room house and kill waves of 20 zombies at a time (and they all look almost identical), eventually you get a key and a rifle, which shoots too slow to be useful so you go back to the pistol you already had. IMHO its about as deep as the shallow end of the kiddie pool.
If this game is awesome, MC2 is Beethoven's 9th Symphony. The only thing it has going for it is the targeting controls don't suck.

Controls is not working for me.. Saw some Xperia play options on control's settings, but no option to apply it.. So I just pressed back button..

Damn shame they're taking so long to fix this.
EnbornX had this same issue where the device check excluded certain models, and Lantansia had that **** patched ONE DAY later. I hope these guys do pick up the pace, because the touch controls are really horrible.

tried it on two plays. but no dice

The game's been updated! About to check out the new version shortly, I'll EDIT with impressions shortly.
EDIT: Working nicely! Shows in in the game launcher too. The movement does not give the option of Continuous (Analog) or Absolute (Swiping) it's all continuous, all the time. I like that you actually have control over the X/Y individually, and don't really have any major complaints about the controls... but the game itself is just kinda... *yawn*. Maybe it's just the first few waves, but I was slowly going to sleep.
Needs more emphasis on getting different weapons, hordes that really make you go "OH ****!" and whip out some awesome reaction skills... and... iuno... it's just missing that *magic* that Left 4 Dead had... it's got plenty of what made me get sick of CoD: Zombies in one day, but I don't want that.
Maybe I'm just setting myself up for disappointment by expecting what this isn't instead of appreciating it for what it is... L4D has me highly biased, and something that doesn't live up to that action usually just puts me to sleep.

Hi, I'm Viktor, the lead programmer on The Dead: Chapter One.
Thanks for all your feedback.
As TLRtheory mentioned we released a new version today and we hope that you all can enjoy the Xperia Play controls now. If you can't we would appreciate if you could contact us at our facebook page TheDeadGame or by sending an email to [email protected].

If you join our facebook page you will also get all the lates news regarding the game.

Kemco - New Release - Cross Hearts Arcadia

Just got an email, sadly it is listed as Not Xperia PLAY Optimized. For the record this is the second game to be released without this support. Either way here it is:
EDIT - Per TLRtheory, it does use the XP controls despite it saying that it does not, going to guess its like Symphony of the Origin where it says not optimized but it is, sort of.

Sent from my R800at using xda premium

Loving it, but im convinced it's doomed to be a commercial failure. The hardware is terrific and everything I've ever wanted out of an Android console but the App store selection is a joke. Power users like us know that we can sideload all our favorite games to our hearts content, which is exactly what i've done, but someone who's never used Android before will get bored with it after about an hour.
I have about 3-5 OUYA exclusives i'm playing, whereas I have 12 THD/Gameloft games I'm playing due to sideloading. Oh well, at least i'm happy even though I doubt we'll ever see an OUYA 2. This should keep me occupied until Shield arrives at least.

Just published v1.1 which now loads ZBLORB files and properly styles text in stories.

Good idea, but as for me there is needed some pics and graphic to make some visibility of game.

Heck no! It's only skinned to look like an SMS app because virtually everyone is familiar with that kind of userinterface. The game does not send any SMS at all (see: permissions). It plays entirely on your phone wihtout any external communication.
Short answer: it will neither cost you money, nor will you pay with your privacy.

Awesome work.
I was playing Sherlock , Zork, Border Edge and a few other I found on a website.
Works nicely, the UI is good too.

good show man! i love text based games, on my kindle keyboard i had a website that i could use to play these sort of games, i will try to find it again and maybe we get thouse stories on there?

Android version 2.1 maybe?
I don't suppose this can be ported back to Android 2.1 so it could be run on a rooted NOOK e-reader?
This would be a perfect app for an e-paper device like the NOOK Simple Touch or Glowlight - and there's a lot of them out there.

Awesome work I love oldschool games! How to I search for more games?
