Version 1.61. On the Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.memoryowlhd
It's a fun game not only for children:
- you have to find pairs of matching pictures like in memory game,
- there is raising water level (tiles can drown),
- there is physics at works,
- there are birds and fish that can interact with the tiles making it harder,
- on some levels tiles change places,
- some levels have layers, you can also catch stars to make more points,
Actual version is first market release - I hope I won't get a waterfall of bug reports.
It requires OpenGL ES 2.
Credits: most tile pictures are public domain art from openclipart.org, all the rest is by me. I used libgdx with box2d for the physics.
Known bugs: nothing right now, I hope it will stay that way.
It was tested on children and adults.

Hm, no responses? Has anyone tried it? Does it work for you? Is it good or bad? Do you like it?
Graphically it is very clean and fluid.
There's nice touches and twists like the small blue bird who sits waiting to drag a tile out of the water and the changing tiles make it more interesting.
If pitched against a normal tile matching game conceptually this one would win hands down.
My only issue is even I found it difficult later on. Speed and accuracy was killing it for me.
Considering I had downloaded this for my 4yr old Granddaughter, as brainy as she is I'm sure she would have soon become frustrated in not being able to complete the level.
She's coming over tomorrow and I had intended to let her try it out before commenting.
I'll try and get back later in the week.

Thanks. The levels are mostly test levels (to test all the options) - I will make first batch easier and make it harder in later levels.
From a 'younger' point of view, that would certainly make it better.
Young minds soon lose interest after the first five minutes and the trick is to keep them attentive and wanting more.
By making that first batch easier will certainly help.
I know she will love the graphics and the different game play will test her... Just slow it down a bit and I think it's a winner.
I like this game already...for little kid, I think making it easier is a good idea. if you are aiming for all ages group, can you possibly make an easy mode for children and a challenge mode for adult? Or something like that. Cause if it too easy I'll get bored and if it too hard my kid will get bored lol. Hope that help.

Thanks! This looks great...I'll try it and give some feedback soon.
On the evo 4g... Framerate is smooth at title and options menu. From the level menu on it becomes slow and slightly choppy. Hope this helps.
Evo 4g
HW version 0004
Thanks. That is really helpful. I'm fighting the speed problems right now - something strange is going on in the select level screen (not much graphics is shown and even Tegra 2 can't generate 50fps - it drops to 44). I'll let you know when new version will be available for testing (the optimisations are a priority now, then I'll design levels). I will also add easy/normal/hard difficulty switcher.

Okay... Bookmarked for when you next post.
Very good game
Tested today with my 2 sons - 5 and 7 years old.
The game is pretty good and very origina.
Very smooth on asus tansformer, very nice graphics, and indeed difficulty is high but ok even for my son of 5 years old.
We finished the 8 levels... and are waiting to get the next ones ;-)
I posted a new version in the first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=724573&d=1316455558 (1.0 beta)
Changelog:
- new levels (many will probably be changed before final release - please write here if some is too hard or to easy),
- difficulty setting (easy, normal, hard), easy should be OK for small children, hard is probably too hard right now
- more pictures,

- ads on phones are hidden during play,
- there are lives now on some levels (on all if you select easy mode),
- many more small and big changes.
Thanks for testing.
Some levels are still to hard - I will be fixing them soon (especially 16, 17, 20 ... 26).
Will get my granddaughter to test this out this weekend.
I hope it was not too hard for your granddaughter - I fixed some levels and it should be easier know (but still - I may simplify them a little more), especially on easy setting and on phones.
http://a.wieza.iq.pl/media/MemoryOwlHD.apk - here is 1.04 beta version.
Next version will probably be on the Market.
It was tested on LG GT540 and Asus Transformer.

Apologies, I forgot to come back and let you know.
Yes, she found it easier and much better.
After I persuaded her not to worry this time about water levels she soon took to the game.
Unfortunately we didn't get enough time to have a good run at the game so this will be done on her next visit this week.
I'll download the new version and see how it compares.
Thanks again... Will let you know.
Rly good game . Keep going Works fine on Asus transformer 3.2 and Xoom 3.1. Nica idea with "moving" blocks
Maybe you should add to game a normal mode memory game ofc with all yours ideas like moving blocks etc? Why? Becouse this is good game and when I end the game ...it would be nice to play it sometimes in normal memory mode for example with 100 cards. In this mode the list of high scores should be added (best score+best time), maybe in future list of best world results like in game "1 to 50"?
Sorry for my english

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitly make most of this in the future. I had already the "normal mode" on my list of things to do.
I published the game on the Market today. I hope I won't get flooded with one-star reviews and bug reports. Thanks everyone for testing, you were great!
I also have plans for next episodes:
- Ice: more logical than arcade, penguins eating tiles (yeah and spitting it out with force if you don't find the pair for it in three moves ) and snow owls stealing them,
- Classic - as mibo666 suggested
I also plan on making a new game Baby Owl - very similar but with levels designed for children and education (for example: finding pairs of similar things like nail and hammer or round objects, or letters).
First of all, great job with this. Using on transformer. My 3 yr old son had no trouble with the first two levels. One problem I noticed, the app does not show up in the list of my apps in the market. (Currently can't uninstall.) Any way to fix this?
Also, are you going to release an add free version? I usually don't let my son play with apps that have ads, would prefer to pay for ad-free.

Which version of Android market you got?
The market doesn't allow me to download the app because, as I said, it says that this app is incompatible with my Sony Ericsson R800i.
Edit:the version of the Android market is 3.3.11, if it was this that you were asking.
Absolutely unchallenging. I beat Barcelona 5-0 with some random English team in the maximum difficulty setting. It's like going back to Worldwide Soccer or Olympic Soccer... Animation wise too. Godawful, I was lucky that my download went at full speed and I could return it before the 15 minutes passed.
Tryed and its almost the same as PES 2011. If you have 2011, keep it...
just little changes from pes 2011
Finally I was able to download it...
I didn't play PES 2011 so I can't compare, but right now I guess PES 2012 is the best football game available for the Xperia Play, better than FIFA10 and Real Football.
Anxiously waiting for FIFA 12...

Since nobody is replying I think I will only update this for big updates (don't want to flood the forum and what not). After every race the usual stats get updated but I'll only post here when actual updates are coming.
1.1.12 UPDATE, PRO VERSION ONLY
- I added a photo section, so you can now view photos from every F1 season. Also if you hold down on any of the images you download them as wallpapers.
1.1.4 UPDATE:
- Current season is now the 2013 season as that is getting close.
- Added the 2013 season race calendar to both the free and paid version.
- The free version of the application now has adverts.
1.0.2 UPDATE:
The feedback section has been fixed, you can now send us any suggestions or problems you might have.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to keep this really simple. Since joining XDA I have always seen this sub-forum as the official place devs come to talk to users about their app and places users can come to talk about the apps they use. Only natural then that I set one app for the first app I've built.
If you don't fancy reading this then here is the play store link, enjoy! F1 History
F1 History
I've built this app for anyone that wants to learn about Formula One, it's full of data from every season. Can be viewed offline. I'm going to keep this really short because the description on the play store covers everything including what permissions the app requires. I will read feedback here, you can count on that.
-We've got information about a season as it goes on, which of course will start from March.
-There's data on who holds the current records, for example who has competed in the most races and which driver has won the fastest lap record the most number of times.
Please read the FAQ section within the app.
Screenshot in attachment.
1.0.2 UPDATE:
The feedback section has been fixed, you can now send us any suggestions or problems you might have.
Updated on the full version. Free version update will come in about 10minutes or so.
Been a while since I posted here, busy getting updates out. Best to not flood this page all the time for minor things.
1.1.4 UPDATE:
- Current season is now the 2013 season as that is getting close.
- Added the 2013 season race calendar to both the free and paid version.
- The free version of the application now has adverts.
As with every update; if you find any bugs please let me know! Thanks.
