[GAME-REQ] 8-bit HALO for android

So Pixel force released a 8 bit halo game, and can be found here.
Now I would love to play this on my phone, but I don't know a dam thing about coding.
So could someone please port this over to android?
If it's possible it would be freaking awesome

In my opinion a disgrace to android

And why would it be a disgrace to android? Just look in the market, there are much, much worse apps in there.
This is actually fun to play and if you don't like it, just don't play it

Square Enix!!! Has come to android!!!!

AFLADKFADKL!!!!
Yes. I'm... insanely happy and I don't know why.
I am quite literally a Square Enix Fanboy and I am proud of it.
Long story short, Crystal Defenders is on the market! Just came within an hour ago!

Whoa. 7 bucks. Nice lol. I'll wait to hear a little more about it, looks awesome though

Doesn't mean you should 1 star them.

I don't see this game on the android market

Yes it does. It isn't right for my android device. If they fix it I will adjust rating. Seems perfectly fair to me.

Because they have no way to block it from showing up on the Market to a crippled Tablet running Froyo. 1 star the Android market for not allowing them to block your device completely. 1 star Samsung for probably never giving you Honeycomb which supports the "xlargescreen" in the Manifest.
The Android market is targeted at phones. Not tablets.
You know all that talk about fragmentation? Galaxy Tab (not a real tablet) users and HTC Wildfire (no GPU) users that 1 star apps because of their crippled phones screw with the ratings, thus making the fragmentation idea that developers have keeping them from developing for Android.

Yeah games are also about gameplay too. One-starring something because it doesn't work in the first place is not a proper review.
People affected should not even click on the ratings. They should email straight to the developer for support.

I remember playing this game on my iPod classic a few years back, thanks for the heads up

As a developer (one free game in the market so far) and an avid Android user I must say I'm inclined to side with Ashvsaod. One star is a bit harsh - maybe 2 or 3 tops is more suitable but I understand him nevertheless.
As a developer, if you can't make it work, you should at least point out in the description that it doesn't work with tabs, period. Even more so in a 7 bucks game!
But to be honest I don't think it's that hard to make it work either. My game supports 2.1 and up and it works full screen on the tab (there was basically one programmer working on it for a few months in his spare time - so it ain't the complicated). Even without the xlarge tags you can still query the screen size in the code and make adjustment. I don't think it's justified to blame the platform for their inability to make it work.
But that's besides the point. The main point is that ff a damn expensive app doesn't work on Tabs (which are a rapidly growing chunk of the android sales) it should be mentioned clearly.

Nice to see some bigger developers pushing out games for Android for once and not sticking with the iStuff

The ratings and comments should be used for reviews not bug reports.

I bought it for the sole fact that I can hope to see more, and hopefully original games from them on Android!

Nonsense, handling screen scaling is _trivial_ under android and has been since 1.6. Absolute sizing is just lazy iPhone-like development. Failing to take into account the best practices of the platform if precisely what low-star scores are for.

I suppose this is valid. However, I opt to contact the developer first before lamenting in a Reviews section that not a lot of them may care to review due to emotionally charged ratings anyway.
I've had a ton of success by contacting the devs. They're usually so courteous and modest, as well as thankful that I actually advised them of a bug as opposed to just leaving negative feedback. I've left only a few legit 1 stars before and retracted emotionally charged ratings in lieu of contacting the developer. So far, no one has ever turned me down. And I admit that a couple of bug reports were sent with an admittedly douchy tone as well lol

Huh?
This game seems pretty bad.
Terrible reviews from critics:

http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii/crystal-defenders-r1
http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/crystal-defenders
Average review of 60-ish percent.
Square Enix is great, but this game seems awful. And it's over $7.
Am I missing something?

Think it would make more sense to compare it the mobile version of the game on a similar platform. Like the version on iPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crystal-defenders/id300186798?mt=8
It has 4 stars there as rated by users which I believe is more telling than reviews of the game on a home console. I believe the attitudes of users playing this game on a phone would make more sense than the attitudes of people that are playing a mobile game on a home console.

People expect more of a console game than of a mobile game?
(Those reviews are for 360, PS3 and Wii ports of an iphone game - of course they don't get fantastic scores!)

I played it on the Wii and did not enjoy it much, but yea, I guess it could be good on a mobile platform.

what's up with games?

Ok to start off, no flaming, respect to game devs for android, but I am asking myself why don't we have decent games? Why? Now I love the games we have, but there's only a 100 or so out of 10000000 games on android market that are worth playing. If you go to 'just in' in the games section then all there is are puzzles and low quality sex games. WTF! Seriously this is getting worse. Android market is growing and growing with apps but they don't really have games that give us the full potential of our high tech devices, they look more like games for the HTC g1, I am very dissapointed with this and my next phone is going to be a iPhone despite the amazing feautures of android just because of the quality of apps. Or shall I say games more because one of the main reasons to get a android was to play some awsome games. Gameloft is doing a amazing job to give good games. Love angry birds, adequate other game dev's, but that's about it. The rest are just low quality rubbish. Not flaming just my point of view. Waiting for iPhone 5 if this doesn't improve. This started when I played COD : Zombies and cut the rope on my friends iPhone 4.
What's your thought please share

one of the main reasons to get a android was to play some awsome games.

That said, [EPIC FAIL]

It is easier to develop on iPhone because there is a one -fixed- kind of device. I mean, no different resolutions, no different devices, no different hardware on devices like android. Of course it is easier to develop. Nevertheless, still there is better applications for Android. Or am I wrong? iPhone is more like a "showcase" which is useless in real world -in my opinion-. But I would buy iPhone if I want games.

So ur telling me android can't handle gaming?
And I agree about the resoloution, but now the new android devices are always 400x800 so why not have specific games just for those.

No, I'm not saying Android is not for games. I'm saying that iPhone is. Android has a different target in mind. Of course there are plenty of games, from sports to FPS, but if you're not ok with them, well, iPhone is the only way.
If you're just complaining why android doesn't have "cool" games, well, do a forum search, you'll find plenty of threads about this. No need to open one more.

I was just expressing my opinion, and gaming is one of the things you do on ur phone when u r just bored sometimes on the move. Im not complaining about android, in just thinking what's so hard about making a good game on android. I think android market should have some requirements on devs making games to sell to improve the standard rather than people just publishing basic puzzle games or sex wikis lol.

Mine is 480x320 and I love it. And I am not going to buy a "huge" device. And I think I am not the only one.

That would mean review over the market, and that may lead to an annual fee to post applications on the Market. I don't personally want to pay a fee for just posting my free apps, nor I'd like if I were selling low-price ones. Applications on the Market are indexed though by the community: if the majority of the population likes a sex game, then it will be in both the main screen and in "most popular" of their category. As of new games and apps, it's up to the developer to publicize it, just like I'm doing.

Well Google, should of had a rule for screen resoloutions to be the same for every android device to get better apps on android. Anyway, its all good, did a mistake once, not again.

All the Gameloft HD games are amazing. EA's got some cool games.

I would imagine that once the Xperia Play and PlayStation Suite are out there will be a marked increase in the number and quality of games from the big developers.

Should be able now! Like it?

lol fun!!

Saw the cheeky Flash search

This is great. Good job in putting it all together as well.

what was that light thingy desktop (live wallpaper?)

Variety is the spice of life
I will continue to maintain my opinion that iOS is IOSnooze

This is great! If only iPhone users could watch this and drool all over their screens.

Catchy tunes, zippy Android action...Can't beat that combo!
Well done!

what was that launcher thats abit link windows vista

wat is that task switching app showing recent??

Fast paced action...Awesome Android!

Great video to demonstrate the flexibility of android. I know a lot of iOS users always get amazed at our launchers

Awesome vid! I'm drooling over this myself.

What are we, 12? It took the Android world that long to create a ridiculously powerful and expensive phone all so that it can achieve the same UI framerate as iOS did on the very first iPhone?
I love Android, but I think people need to be more humble about where it's come from and how it differs from iOS.

crazy taxi just announced for ios in October what about android?

Ok crazy taxi by sega was just announced for ios but there was no word of android ,this will really piss me off if sega really leaves android out of this great dreamcast port ,& I would not be surprised because we still dont have soul calibur & its been on ios for over 8months already ,but this will be sad & disrespectful to android users if were left out in the cold

I think we will be left out. There are quite a few quality games that android doesn't get and it's a shame

Let's hope. Don't forget Sega has been good to us android users of late. Every title (approx) this year has come out on both platforms. We also got football manager before IOS as well (makes a change) if jet set radio is coming to android there is a good chance this will too. Fingers crossed people. :fingers-crossed:

Lol that trailer just looks so rushed almost fake even but what weird is it specifically says ipod,iphone,&ipad like android is definetly left out ,i remember the soul calibur trailer being just like that not having android being mentioned at all , & they made sure they mentioned ios & android for jet set ,so either there very lazy or it really isnt coming to android ,but I hope it does come to android cause crazy taxi is my second favorite dreamcast game

LOL was thinking that when i watched all 11 seconds of that video. Maybe its not but lets hope a better version of this comes out first.
Then we can play what we want

Well, instead of wondering if they will bring it; how about we ask them to do it on their official blog?
I already did my part. I want this on my XPlay!

Wouldn't surprise me. iOS has a much lower piracy rate. So blame the people who pirate every app and game they come across for Android.

I am even more sad now that I hear that this is going to release tomorrow ios only

Good news is that there will be an android version releasing soon just no word when

Source?

Well the source for this I got from Google itself many many websites state that an android version is also coming soon ,just Google (crazy taxi on android) just make sure your search tool is on past 24hrs and you will see lots of websites saying sega confirms an android version ,im not surprised android does take way longer to optimize games for since theres so many different android devices,but I really hope xperia play is not left out since buttons would be great for this game ,i hope they dont pull a nba 2k13 & have it for 4.0 & up only

Found it written on the official Sega blog so its 100% Yay

Awesome!

Includes the original soundtrack! :victory:

Guys, it's not coming to Android.
No source on this, just pure common sense. It's now May - nearly June - that's nearly 8 months.
It's obvious why...
Fragmentation. It's really hard to build a game that works on a myriad of resolutions, iOS only has 5 resolutions, and two of those are @2x, making it easy to optimse for them.
Piracy. It's so so so so SO much harder to pirate apps on iOS than on Android. Some devs literally 'give up' on Android, and it's a shame that there are so many inconsiderate people who ruin it for the rest of the crowd.
It's harder. Apple has made sure to create really good tools for it's developers. Google's tools are intuitive, but nowhere near as intuitive as Apple's.
Overall, it's a shame. I really looked forward to having Crazy Taxi on the Nexus 7, but I guess that;s not happening.

making an ios app is much harder than making an android app
dont speak like that
android is best operating system for mobile phones and tablets
ios is just a tiny closed source os thati cant even get it on my hand for 5 mins
