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

Hey guys.
I just made my first android game. Its called walkabout - the idea is to collect all the stars on each level, but as you walk the path beneath you disappears. You need to think about your route or you'll be stranded!
The market link is:

Or you can search 'walkabout' in the market.

Version 1.3 just release:
- Droid 1, 2 and X issues fixed
- Nexus S issues fixed
- Considerable in game optimisations
- Misc bug fixes
- Smaller file size
Bought and installing now ^>^
Great! Please do try the demo first in case there's a compatibility problem with your specific phone. I've tested it on a lot of phones now so I hope its all ok.
But even if there is an issue please let me know and i'll fix it ASAP!
Well done. GUI is splendid and the game is enticing. I give the game a 5/5.
Are you going to make another game? If so I'll be a fellow purchaser in the future.
If you need, I have a couple of ideas that I've been wishing I could put into action. I'd be willing to let you have those ideas royalty free. Private message me if you're interested in my ideas. I'll pm you in about 4 to 5 days if I don't see anything in my inbox ^>^.
I personally think you'd be the perfect game dev for my ideas.. And anything that you make off this game would be all for you. What's in it for me - Just being able to say I had a little part in helping you develop a game.
Sent you a PM
Updated to v1.5.3 - All reported bugs fixed
Updated to 1.5.4 - sped up menu transitions, and decreased end level 'speech bubble' time.
A user has made a walkthrough in case you're stuck on any particular level!
http://www.youtube.com/user/ObihoernchenDE#p/c/B7B5EDABF6205BDF/0/UNtooM-CRBw
The rest of the levels should be up in the next few days.
Great game! The graphics and sfx are very cute - reminds me a little of the zelda mini puzzle games.
Plays nicely on my N1. Your trial version is very good - enough levels to get you interested and try out player switching.
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.

ninja edit for spelling
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.

Teppit is a very simple game. You are presented with a button. Tap it!
Teppit is simple. Why so? Because this is the whole idea of the game. It must be. Teppit is a simple game, that everyone can casually play, and only the best make it to the top. Its simplicity makes it fascinating.
Making a highscore in Teppit is not difficult. You only need concentration, patience, reflexes, and time management. You will understand why each of these skills are relevant by playing the game.
The customize menu lets you choose from a wide range of buttons, each one unlockable by doing a certain challenge. These challenges can be time-based, score-based, and custom ones (skill-based, so to say).
The lives are an addition (not a requirement) that let you continue after a mistap. These can be bought with real money ($) (not yet, but still), and would hopefully make me rich (sure!). If you think the prices are high, consider the fact that I am personally very worried that they might be too OP and some of the life packs are added only as "social experiments".
Current bugs (read if you are a developer):
Any purchase buttons can only be pressed once per activity. If you want to purchase something again, you have to reopen the activity (need help fixing)
The Google Play achievements are not working
The game gives OutOfMemoryException on some older devices
NOTHING saves when deleting the cache of the game or uninstalling it. (some tips?)
Screenshots:
Link:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thes.teppitgame
Note:This is my first game as a developer. I have learned java only to implement the idea in my head. I have had no experience with this java language or any OO-programming, so any tips/feedback as a developer would be greatly appreciated.
Cool game! But pretty frustrating sometimes... How did you make it?
EDIT: Make the game not make me login to Google Play everytime. It gets annoying if I don't want to login.

I will try to change that in a future update... As for how I made it? Well, it took some time.
I have removed the premium and made the customize screen available for anyone! Have fun playing!
Any impressions?
Great games, I ike to play this game against my friend !
Fun game. I feel I waist a lot of time
I have added what I can proudly say is the biggest update to Teppit yet. I have included a lot of new features, like music, game sounds, and animations, and I had to rewrite next to half the code in order to make the game more fluid and responsive! Download or update to Teppit 1.4 now!
Don't forget to leave a review if you liked the game!
What does th game give that?

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.

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.
First post on here, so I'm sorry if I missed any of the rules.

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!
