[GAME][2.3+] Get The Mouse 0.7.1

Hello everyone, I want to tell you about a new game which was developed by me and one dude in 4 month.
This game is really casual and hard as it turned out for players. Honestly saying casuality of this game is high and you can wonder why this game develope so long time. Unfortunately gamedev is not predicatable thing - seems to be easy, but seems to be no. It seems to be a cool, but it seems to be no. I wrote to 8 publishers (maybe incorrectly I guess and they havn't read), but only one replied, it is LeTang.
Before final verion they said they are quite interested with this game, however when they got a final version for test they denied it. Their arguments were they already have several same games and this game is not outstanding.
Okay, that's alright, whatever, but 4 month of development were behind our backs. Nothing is left only we could try to publish this game by ourselfs.
If you enjoyed with Flappy Bird, you will like Get The Mouse too. But don't think it is a clone, not at all, even game mechanics much more different and diverse, just if gamer could get more then 5 scores in Flappy Bird he will be able to get much more in Get The Mouse or maybe he will can get to the end. Yes, this game has the end but no levels, only one tunnel 200 meters long.
You will pull out the mouse by its tail and don't let it glut oneself cheese, because if it eating the cheese it growing and finally just will stuck in tunnel. And here is an example of tunnel
You can decrease size of the mouse you just need to tap fast on it and it will fart (sorry) and get smaller. Sometimes. when everything is complicated, there is a possibility to use time dilation and while it acts you can decrease its size. Oh yes most hardcore players can gather the coins by their fingers, but is not necessary, because scores will be converted to coins. You can't buy coins for real money.
And finally here is a promo video from youtube
Quality of video is bad, but there was no resources or skills for better.
And here is a link to Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lennon.mouse.android
P.S Let's discuss! I would be glad to answer to your questions if you have some. Also I wonder to read any criticism. I want to discuss this game with other people if someone will be interested to discuss. Thank for you time!

How many other threads goes above this thread.... Does anybody has any comments, please?

totally new idea
funny & nice game
wonderful quality
5 stars
thanks a lot :good:

5 stars

Hello again!
Guys, I'm disappointed how Google Play gives and output of search results. On my PC I see this game on 64-th place whe searching "Get The Mouse" without quotes. And on my phone I see it on 14-th place. I wonder how many people stops searching Get The Mouse when they don't see it after two or more scrolls to the bottom of the page.

It looks really hard, but only at first look. Can you make posting of scores? I got 4538 scores, I wonder is there somebody else who could get more?

It is depends on motivation. More users - more motivation. I think I will implement leaderboards using Google Play services. More over I will make multiplier using Google Play services too.

It's a pretty fun game good work. Which engine did you use and how long did it take you to make?

Engine is LIBGDX and it was took about 4 monthes with some periodical rests. We had not much time for game.

Good idea for this sort of game. Usually games where you are punished for hitting the wall just end on hitting the wall, and leave a frustrated user (me!). With your game you can continue playing, if the mouse has not gotten to fat, and therefore it's fun to play.

Nice game. I really like the graphics In your promo video, I suggest that you use some sort of screen capture software to do that instead of using camera. That's a huge minus point for your game promotion

Great! Like this app!!

I tried it and looks very nice

Good job
Mad graphics, did you do them all yourself?

[FREE][GAME][2.3+] SteamCopter

I've recently finished my first game for android and I need opinions from people other than my family and friends, who can only praise me.
SteamCopter is a Super Hexagon, Flappy Bird and Spelunky fusion wanna-be. I've just finished promotional video, so you don't have to(but I highly encourage you to!)play it to check what's it all about.

Thank you. Besides gameplay, I've spent long time thinking about how to place ads to make them unobtrusive for users, could look at this aspect and express your opinion?

The ads aren't anoynig but the control of the helicopter is strange ...or I'm to stupid Btw if you tell me how I could correct your german translations I could help you with them, at some points you chose the wrong words

I've sent you the files through PM, thanks for the help.
Could you tell me what did you mean by strange controls? I wanted it to be hard, but not "hard to play", if it makes any sense.

It's a really nice game if you want to kill some minutes. It's fun to play it and you really want to improve your highscore. In my opinon it's a little bit harder than flappy bird or something like this but everybody who visits this thread should give it a try
At first I had problems with the controls, but that was a failure with my current custom Rom and had nothing to do with the app.

it looks like typical good run/arcade game, but static backgrounds isn't cool. IMHO

Great game ! It is very well done, with attention to details like performance, music, graphics. This is not common in many 2D android games. I heavily recommend trying it !

good game, but i really think you should improve the graphic, maybe 8-bit

I'm glad to hear that you liked it. About it being harder than flappy bird... It wasn't my intention, but it can be. It's a little harder to learn, but when you get the grasp of it, mechanics are easy (but still hard to master!). Also, I'm pretty sure, that it can be a lot more rewarding than flappy bird.

That was my intention. I couldn't even dream about making some industry capsizing masterpiece, so at least I wanted to make polished and playable game.

Hey there, I tried your game out and I'd like to share my feedback with you.
It took me a few minutes to realize that I could tap the right side of the screen to keep the copter up in the air. Maybe have a little "tutorial" at the beginning explaining the controls? Or some kind of button/visual to show that the right screen is for keeping the copter up.
After a second run, I did noticed your "how to play" button on the menu. Maybe you should display that at the beginning game for first time users.
You don't seem to have back buttons for "how to play" and "high scores". I have to exit the app to get out of it.
I hate to be that guy, but I find the full screen ads a little intrusive for this kind of game. The banner ad on the corner is fine though.
Could be a fun game with a bit more polishing. Mainly with the controls, and the UX. Good luck with your game!

Thank you for your feedback, I will definitely post update soon.
About the back button on howto and highscores screens... There is one, in the left bottom, but it looks like I need to make it more visible.
I will do something about this interstitial ad.

Oh okay, yeah I must have not seen them. One last thing is try animating some of the UI elements by "tweening". Like, maybe the game over dialog can slide up to the middle of the screen. Things like that will make the game feel more polished. Keep it up!

SteamCopter has just been updated, here's the changelog:
- new back button in menu
- updated German translation
- menu HowTo appearing before first play
- fewer interstitial ads

Thanks, I will look into it.

I found the time to play it, and I was impressed by how the music complimented the art style. It gave your game a nice little aesthetic.

At first It was difficult, but after a few minutes of playing I got a little better.
I was also initially confused about how to play in the different worlds that are shown on the screenshots.
That was until I discovered that you had to collect a certain amount of stars to open the next world.
This actually gave me more incentive to continue getting better.
My only (minor) complaint is the backgrounds. They look great, but they're a bit static.
I couldn't help but feel that I was playng in front of a stage. But again, this is very minor and easy to look past for me.
Overall great game with great production value!
BTW, I love steampunk, so sorry if my review is a bit biased!

What an uplifting post, thanks! I'm really glad that you like it.
I'd really love to do something about backgrounds stillness, but well... it's not entirely dependent on me.
What do you guys think about integrating Google Play Games Services(leaderboards, achievements)?

Sooo addicting cant stop playing

I like it!

Overall, it is pretty nice, but I think most users would probably get bored without a little more variation. I think if you threw something different at the player (after just a few levels), even if nothing else new happened for a long time, they would still be waiting for it, thus not knowing what to expect next and you would keep their interest longer.

very good arcade game , please get ready to enjoy ! congratulations

Good graphics and gameplay. I think level system might be a good choice for this game. Good luck !

In my opinion, there could be a level system, where a player needs to go under some number of blocks whose positions are predetermined. This way players may not get frustrated to start from zero point again, and can continue from where it has left.

Update released.
Just remove banner ads.

Thank you t3ddy.

Nice! Really like the icon! Installed on my Moto Droid Turbo. Man its really hard! My high score is 3. I will keep playing. Good luck!

Thanks, man!
And you are at the top of the leaderboard with that score

First of all, this game looks awesome. The only thing that is not perfect - text size. On my Nexus 7 (2012) font is too small. There are a lot of room for text, so I think you can make it bigger without problems. Then, when I tried to play it, I got next problem - there is no tutorial. It took me about 3 deaths to figure that this game is controlled with accelerometer. Even short tip like "tilt phone to controll" would be enough. And, as were already mentioned, it is very hard. I played it for 10 minutes and my highscore is 5. To be honest, when game session is so short, you become bored very fast. Generally, this game feels well made, it is obvious that you put a lot of effort into it. I want to recommend you to make it a bit easier, so players will have longer game sessions and they will become a little bit more addicted by this game. Maybe adding achievements will be a good choice.
I was also surprised, when I noticed that this game is translated into Russian, are you guys from Russia? If so, привет, земляки.

Thanks for your input, man. It definitely helps!
This game is a flappy bird style arcade, so it has to be hard and annoying
However, i will wait till I have enough statistics to work with, so nothing is permanent.
Привет из Израиля!

[FREE][GAME][2.2+] Steam Hero: Rope of Hope

After a really long break from programming, I'm back with a new game. Steampunk hero is back, this time with a rope! From screenshots it probably looks like some stickhero-wannabe, but let me assure you, it's really not.
Hook, swing, repeat.
Equipped with nothing more than a single rope, swing from one platform to another. Hold your finger to move the grapple point, release to swing. Stick with the crows - they are said to spawn bonuses. But be careful! If the rope is too short or too long, you will fall.
Simple yet addictive, just try it!
Compete with your friends and people from all over the world through online leaderboards and achievements.
Collect coins to unlock additional backgrounds and characters.
Play in headphones for best experience.
