Hi xda,
I'm new here, but wanted to post my first game to get some more feedback.
Android Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rickboerebach.android.binarysudoku
The game is free, has no ads, requires no permissions and currently has 100 puzzles, which guarantee about 8-12 hours of puzzle time
The Binary Puzzle:
The binary puzzle is a new and challenging logic puzzle that you can solve by
reasoning. Only zeros and ones occur in the puzzle, but this turns out to be
more complicated than it seems to be. This app offers binary puzzles of various
sizes and levels. A last warning: The binary puzzle is quite addictive.
Rules:
Each cell should contain a zero or a one. No more than two similar numbers
below or next to each other are allowed. Each row and each column is unique
and contains as many zeros as ones.
Version 1.0.9 released.
Updates:
-Bug fixes

Great Feel free to suggest features / changes.
I've been waiting for a binary sudoku app for literally months. Thank you, sir, for bringing this awesome puzzle game to my phone at last!
Will install immediately, and report back on how I like it.
Great idea!
Here's a link for the lazy people:

Thanks for the replies. If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to post
Just updated to version 1.2.0 with OpenFeint highscores & achievements (suggestions for achievements are welcome)!
Nice game!
Good job man.
Thanks for creating this app! I love puzzle apps that rely more on the puzzle and less on the graphics & sounds!
Installing it now & will let you know.
EDIT: Going through the easy levels & loving the simple logic used (so far, simple
Questions
Each row & each column is unique - I presume that you can have the same sequence of numbers in a row & a column (just not 2 rows with the same sequence)? I haven't hit it yet, but want to know for when I hit them.
Are the solutions unique? Can each one be solved strictly with logic (ie, no guess needed to go on)?
Is this your own puzzle idea? I can't say I've heard of it before (will google shortly)
Thanks again!
Nice game -- just played through some easy levels. Definitely a fun little game.
Cool! You can add "easy" or "beginner" level
I'm really bad at sudoku, but I'm willing to give this one a shot since it's binary
Looks like a very solid app. However, would it be possible to add the functionality of adding your own puzzles? Like in OpenSudoku, where you can create your own sudoku from a blank grid; that way you can copy a puzzle from the newspaper that someone else has already filled in, for example, and still do it yourself.
That, and more puzzles, would be awesome.

Yeah, you can have the same sequence of numbers in a row and column and solutions are unique and can be solved strictly with logic.
Sadly, it's not my own puzzle idea i saw a puzzlebook with this type of puzzles at the local magazine store and pretty much got addicted. Tho, a puzzlebook is not convenient in the train etc, and there was no app for it. I'm a developer myself and decided to invest a day of work in making my personal traveling more fun, and introducing this puzzle to the rest of the Android world

App Review
This apps looks great. I'm going to download this and review it on my blog (Android Cowboy) as soon as I can. I'll put the link once it's posted. Hopefully it will help get you more downloads .
Thanks for writing a post on the frontpage, didn't expect it to be reviewed This will definitely boost downloads!
Also, thanks to everybody who downloaded (and rated/reviewed) the game

Yeah, great idea. I want to implement more community aspects, but I first want to see how things turn out. If the game gets popular, I can get a dedicated server and write an API backend for these kind of things

Hey, rickboerebach
Thanks a lot for your efforts. Your game is very amusing. It's, indeed, pretty addictive!
Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the harder the level, it gets easier to reach more than one solution, but your application accepts one of them only.
Thanks again, anyway.
Best regards,
Carlos

Glad you like it. Each puzzle only has one solution People tend to forget the row/column uniqueness rule, maybe you overlooked that one? Each row has to be unique and each column has to be unique. Tho, you can have the same sequence of numbers in a row and a column.
Oops, you're right! Had forgotten that rule!
Thanks, again.
I downloaded your game and played a few levels, it's simple but challenging.
I really like it, I'm going to spend some more time with it at the university tomorrow.

Hello Everyone!
I've spent a year writing a cool word search game, and I've just ported it to Android.
My Game is FREE and is in Google Play -
(if I wasn't a noob a link would be here) Google Play - Lexigon
Have a play with the game and let me know what you think!
thanks!
andy
PS: There is some proof that this game was enjoyed as far back as the 15th century, but don't listen to me read on...
( well if I wan't a noob, another amusing link would be here. search for 'LazyBrush', 'Lexigon' and '15th Century' for those will a will)
PPS: Maybe a kindly soul can post these two links in a reply?
PPS: Version 1.1 removes 'Read Contacts' Permission. Thanks for Comments!
I will check the game out..

Cool game! Do you get more points for longer words?

Is there a reason for the app to read contacts?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Hello again,
Thanks for downloading and for the feeddback!
I use 'Scoreloop' for the online high score and it requires access to contacts. I know it sounds scary but I think that is standard for any online high score server isn't it? (I tried using GREE but it seemed very alpha when I did the port and so didn't compile!)
Yup, longer words more points. Later levels more points. Nice coloured Lexigons more points, blue and green. Bad coloured ones less points, black and red. You can tap to select letters and double tap to submit word, or much faster just slide and release to submit word makes the game very fast.
Glad you all liked it, all I need now is more downloads. I feel like Agent Smith from Matrix....MORE....
Thanks again,
Andy

I've done a little more digging why Scoreloop require, or should I say, in the integration guide said I needed to include access to contacts.
This article, (I'm still a noob - so URL changed to not be a URL), talks of another developer using scoreloop asking the same question.
http support.scoreloop.com discussions/questions/78-read_contacts-permission-for-android
Seems I can remove the permissions for contacts read without a problem. I will do that promptly.
Thanks again,
Andy
really fun game, thank you! Works perfectly on MM2.
Update
Hi,
So I've update this game without the Read Contacts permission. Game still works fine! Thanks again for trying the game and all the comments!
Have Fun,
andy
Great game, very addictive!
However, the game/server doesn't seem to be logging my scores...
When I start the game, it says my high score is 2800... despite having gone over 50,000 a few times. In fact, I just did 65,000 (? - not sure of the exact score now, since there is no record), it didn't appear on that game server.
How about a game pause/resume option, as well as a highscore chart on the phone itself (by playerID: points & level)?
And while I'm thinking , how about adding a different dictionary? I'd love to play this in Spanish too!
I'd also like to understand how to maximise the score, do the letters have an implicit value like in Scrabble? And how are they multiplied/(divided?) by the different colours? I see that getting a 6 letter word generates a lot of points, so is 6 much better than 5, which in turn is much better than 3, etc?
Here's my first real attempt at making an android app/game
Swift Word is a fun filled and challenging word game backed by a simple, minimalistic UI.
Rules of the game would be that you have to change one letter in the four-letter word the computer gives you. The computer will then change one letter in the word you used and so on. You may not use proper nouns or reuse words that have already been used. The first person to use all possible words wins! You can avail three hints per game to assist you in the game.
Go play the game and see if you are good enough to beat the computer a over game of words.
All the words used in the game are sourced from the official dictionary used in TWL 2014.
Got any feedback or suggestion?
Leave it down as comments below.

Cool. Do let me know what you think
Nice word game, I find it very hard for beginners, though. Maybe add some difficulty level, especially some easier difficulty ?
It has a nice clean interface. Permissions are non-existent (yeah). A great start.
I agree with those before me... It can be very challenging. I thought if it could have a multi-player mode, perhaps through bluetooth, that would be awesome. Instead of playing vs a computer with a dictionary at its disposal you could have a more level playing field.
Finally, I couldn't find an option to end the game (admit defeat). Is there a button I'm missing? I back arrowed out of my 200 something word game when I couldn't figure out another word. That didn't get an entry in my scores (as a defeat, obviously).
Out of curiosity, what word database is used?
The screens should tell more about the game. UI is simple, but there should be some hints on the screen. Take a look how they did it in Two Dots game.

Bounce Out
I just released a new puzzle game, please check it out on Google Play here (free, no ads):
Bounce Out - Google Play
Short demo:
Tap the white tiles to add and rotate shapes. Bounce the ball through the exit to solve each puzzle. Buttons, bombs, ghosts, and more. Can you master the game and earn all 90 stars?
Making games isn't my day job, it's something I do as an outlet for creative expression. My post here is simply to share that expression with as many others as I can. I hope you find my games unique and enjoyable. Of course, they may not be perfect so any feedback is greatly welcome!
Yes! I've been waiting for this game.
Just downloaded it, the graphics are really clean and fun. I'll keep playing and let you know more.

Thanks upita, please share with your friends. Just trying to reach as many people as I can, no interest in making a profit.
So I've been playing the past 3 days and here's my update for you.
I got through the easy and medium levels. I must say, awesome stuff! The difficulty in game play increases at a good rate. The music is relaxing, but most of the time I just mute it and put my own ambient music on in the background.
I like the gameplay, it's like no other apps I've played. The closest thing I can think of is Chip's Challenge from Windows 98, was this any influence?
Anyways great work, I look forward to trying the hard levels now.
Pretty good game, nice !
nice game! good graphics , looking forward a new update!
Nice
I love the game
Great job
good application, good gameplay , really well done!
Hey,
I liked the demo video
However, I didn't install as I am confused as to why 'location' is required as permission
Could you clarify?

Thank you for pointing this out! There is absolutely no reason the app would require location service. I was using similar build settings to a different app I was working on and forgot to remove this setting. I have corrected the permissions and am now releasing update 1.5.
I will let you know once Google Play has Version 1.5 available.

Can you show us the 9gag post? And why are people writing in the comments that they were coming from 9gag?
Nice graphics!
Hi everyone!
For reasons I don't fully understand (well, anti-spam policy), I couldn't post any link or pictures, so thanks a lot @kirito9 for adding the link.
About the 9gags comments, well, I'm an avid 9gagger (it ruins 1 hour of my sleep every night...), so I decided to show off my game to the community and ask them for update's material suggestion. And I got a LOT of ideas coming from it:
9gag.com/gag/agNjPGw/this-is-airmadness-a-little-game-i-made-i-d-like-your-suggestions-for-next-planes-environments-please
Feel free to do the same and suggest planes and/or environments ideas!
Cheers!
Julien
I must say the idea is a bit overused, but I really liked the graphics. A lot.
When I played it I failed to see some type of qualitative progression. A great improvement would be to change the scenes dynamically as if they were levels (sky then sea then land then volcanoes then...) but it might take you a lot to add many scenarios with other objects than rocks. Maybe with other landscapes you can add moving objects and increase the variety.
Meanwhile, if Unity supports tilt movement you can add it.
Hope you find it useful!
@randomlabs Thanks. For sure, the concept isn't new. It's really really close to a "Race the Sun" for example, but I wanted the environments a bit more real, less etheric.
I plan on adding more environments and planes. A "story" mode, where you have to finish all levels in a row with at least 2000 points is a very good idea. I'll consider that kind of udpate.
Julien

Riddle tower is a game i always wanted to make but having close to no free time it was really hard to start learning unity. The last 3 months i got some free time and now i published it at Google play store.
I understand this game is not for everyone but i am sure that everyone who played these kind of riddle games in the past will get a nostalgic feeling.
I am more than happy to listen to your feedback and also i can keep this thread as a small walkthrough to the game to help anyone who is stacked with some hints.
Have great day everyone.

Hi, installed your game, great graphics and layout and quite hard from the outset which isn't a bad thing. I think I got stuck on first level the answer being quite straightforward but I was putting a space between the word and number which was wrong but sort of right imho.
Agree adverts are necessary to support you, but having one between every level was bit much for me at least.

Thanks a lot i really appreciate your feedback.
I think i will remove ads on the first 4-5 levels for example because in the beginning the user will move on faster but on the stages later it will take much longer time to pass a level.
Of course if you play more and you feel like it a review on the store will mean the world to me.
Thanks for your feedback it means a lot
Also love the staggered hint section and was more than happy to watch ads for hints

Fixed an error on 2 Levels that a beta tester found. Sorry for this if someone experienced the error.
May you share some tips on how to create a game like this? I mean did you find any templates or you have to start from scratch ?

Sure
The thing is i don't know if there is a template or something like this (there are templates for sure out there) but i think its better to start on your own because even if you get a fully working template when an error happens (and believe me in Unity you can get an error out of nowhere) then you will have a hard time fixing it.
Youtube and Unity forum can be a great start
20 Dec Update
Fixed some animation issues with broken animations which made the game unplayable under certain circustances.
I would really love if you played the game and you can post any questions here or if you need any hints.
More than happy to have a discussion about the levels here
