Ok, there is this old-school rogue-like on the Google Play called Cardinal Quest.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImFpci5jb20udGFtZXRpY2suY2FyZGluYWxxdWVzdCJd
I must say I got really hyped for it, and perhaps I was too fast to get it.
You see I enjoyed 100 Rogues on iOS immensely, so I thought this would be somewhat similar, but unfortunately it is not.
It lacks that certain charm that makes 100 Rogues so fun to play...
I paid full price for it and this is probably for the first time I regret my purchase decision.
I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not very good either.
By the way, although it doesn't have full Xperia Play controls you can move your character (and navigate in menus) with the Play's digital pad.
Hardcore rogue-like players might enjoy it, but I'd still advise caution.
'Mediocre' is the word I think best describes this game.
Perhaps they will improve it with updates...

------------------------------------------------------------
Genre: 2D Platform, Puzzle, Action !
System Require: Multi-Touch Screen, IQ Above Average
Tag: Time, Gravity, Awesomeness !
In a distant future, a dark force gained control of the universe. Everything stopped moving – the time is frozen and gravity is gone. The only hope of recovering the universe relies on “Constant C,” a robot gifted with a small circle of power, allowing Constant C to move and to revive the time and gravity within the circle. When Constant C approaches an object, the object becomes “alive” and when Constant C leaves, the object becomes frozen again. By making good use of Constant C’s power, your mission is to remove obstacles ahead and find a way for Constant C to reach the control center of the dark force.
There are 29 levels. To solve the puzzles, you need to be intelligent and creative. Each puzzle gives you a new experience, and along the way, your will learn important skills that can help you solve the puzzles. The unique feature of Constant C will give you a mind blowing experience. So, be quick! The universe is waiting for you.

It's amazying.
I made it to halfway through world 2- here are my thoughts.
This game is beautiful- it looks great, and the way it works is absolutely fantastic. I can honestly say it is one of the best games I've yet to play on Android- maybe the best.
That being said, it is way too big. 5MB should be the max before installation to SD should be implemented- this game is over 20. Either work on reusing more textures, or have it install to SD.
I was playing with the device laying down, and the gravity button was flipping out- switching every update cycle and just going crazy. You may want to have it display an X if the values aren't high enough to justify a gravity switch (I love the way this mechanic works, by the way!)
Fix these issues, and most standard prices you would ask for would be too low for this game- I would gladly pay for more worlds. (Though, if more worlds were added, you may want to work on the difficulty curve- if you want my thoughts on that, let me know). Again, great job!
Thanks that's huge compliment you give us there.. we are really appreciate.
We will work on the to SD feature.. since a lot of people had demanded it! I'll update it ASAP.
there are some reason makes us can't reuse texture though
first .. our artist is new in drawing texture for games... he just draw whatever he feels right and not considering about texture size and reusability. (we will do it better next time)
second.. in some device.. too many sprites makes game really laggy.. so we tend to use huge jpg file for background
i don't know anything about marketing on android app.... because we are totally noobies in this... Actually this game is not only our first game on android.. it's our first android app if you don't count "Hello World" as a app XD
After we think we learn enough to build this game. we go straight into it. It take us 5 months to build because we need to learn new stuff along the way
I use XNA mostly, and my brother use c++ and some graphic engine from his lab, neither did we use andengine before. and we love it!
We are thinking putting ads in it....and yet it's something we never tried XD, so I might need to check documents. After that we will release a clean ads free version for 0.99$ i think..for us.. most important thing is people can play our game. and feel it's not waste of time. those few hour must actually means something
Downloaded to my htc inspire 4G. I Am amazed by what you have created. This is awsome! I love free...but this needs to be a paid game. It is worth every penny.

This game is pretty awesome. Albeit I've had my phone for about 2 months, I've never played a game with these game mechanics. Very original and an amazing first app. I also just started learning android and will be developing my first app in the coming months, and I don't think it will be nearly as good.
thanks
thanks!I think you will do it great too! we just began java programming 4 months ago!
It's easy to learn!

Haha I love the system requirement 'above average IQ'
it's a great game!
Just read about this on the portal. Downloaded it on my A100 and started playing, will have to download it to my EVO 3D later. Love it. This is definitely better than some of the games that other devs charge for. Excellent work.
Last night i try it on galaxy S, and work superb, thanks
I am trying to download it through market, but I am getting device incompatibility message. I am using Samsung Galaxy S GT I9003. Does it have region restrictions, I am trying from India
On the market it says my device is not supported
I have an idea, that I imagine is not at all original. An idea that I have harbored for a long time now, but seems ever more important as the release of android gaming consoles become a reality.
I think that android needs "achievements" or trophies or accomplishments if you wanna be original. I'd love to see Google "certify" certain game titles (because crappy short easy games would ruin the system) and have each title have a max of 100 accomplishment points and perhaps even have gamer ID's like Xbox live. What do you guys think? I just knew my brother rents a lot of games he wouldn't otherwise play to get achievements and it seems like it could be a great thing for developers.
Hey guys!
I love playing games (on my PC, Xbox or Smartphone)!
I really hate how much "casual" game junk is in the playstore and I can't seem to find some good "story-driven" games...
Do you have some suggestions for me?
For your interest:
I love playing RPGs (gothic, risen, the witcher, dragon age, skyrim etc.)
Shooter are good, as long as they have a good story!!
I really dislike everything casual (like farmville etc.) so please don't suggest me stuff like that
Money is no problem so post everything you got as long as it's worth it
hope you guys can help me, because i'd really like to play some good games on my smartphone when I work abroad...

I suggest you to try the Sorcery! games. For now there are two parts (a third one in development) and they are completely story driven. Both of them look like a tabletop style game, with combat, nice hand drawn images which shows you how the game universe looks like, spells and many paths to choose (great replay value). Since money are no problem ,I fully recommend touy them. Also, after you finished the first game, you can sync your saves to the second one to continue the story with the skills, energy, items and gold from the first one (it also influence your game very much, both in gameplay and in relations with the NPCs).
I'd recommend you Aralon - Sword and Shadow. Also try Limbo.
Purchased it yesterday as it is on sale
Will look "avalorn" up later when I'm home
Thomas Was Alone. I'm not joking. I guess it's a puzzle platformer, but it has excellent narration and a charming story. I'd compare it to Portal but without the offensive parts. Not casual like FarmVille, but more casual than RPGs. So, your call, but I think it's a great game.
Hello!
I've recently completed the first book of my text adventure game after a year of work, and I would be very grateful if you could give it a try and give me some feedback. In this game you play as an ordinary guy trying to win a mage tournament against the most powerful mages in the world, in the hopes of winning the grand prize, and using it to fulfill your lifelong dream of becoming a mage yourself.
As you progress, you will also get to know the inhabitants of the continent that the tournament takes place on, and you will learn that a person called the Creator established several utopias in this realm a few hundred years ago, where animals and humans could live in harmony, and where food was created through magic. What you will get to experience throughout the game, however, is the downfall of these utopias, and you can even choose to save them from destruction if you so desire.
Besides the traditional choice making, you also have stats you can level up, and there are different checks in the game to see if you have the necessary level to take a certain action. For example, if your ancient languages level is high enough, you can understand when the animals or monsters speak.
Here is the link to the game: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magiumgames.magium
I hope you'll all enjoy playing this game as much as I enjoyed making it!
Cheers!
Congratulations
Dude, your game is just amazing, the best app I have ever downloaded in my phone, I just want to congratulate you and say that I cant wait to see what happens next! Keep up with the good work (and please tell me the first book's ending can be reversed ).
P.S.: why don't you put your game for ios as well? I have some friends that loved the idea but only have iPhones.
I just saw the XDA thread on r/androiddev and I remembered this forum. Just wanted to let everyone here know that since my initial post on this forum, the 2nd book has also been completed and the story is still in progress. Chapter 4 of book 3 was published a few days ago on android and iOS.
Cheers!
Hey there, thanks for sharing your game!

Unfortunately, it looks like Google Play purchases are unavailable in Montenegro, and this game relies exclusively on IAPs for income (the game doesn't have any ads). Aside from that, if I were to publish the game there without an option to pay to unlock the next books faster, I'd be sure to get negative reviews from people. I'll publish it there if Google ever makes purchases available in that region.

Makes sense. Maybe you could consider making an alternative version without IAPs, so that you could sell it from Play Store and XDA store with an upfront price? Or maybe there are other IAP providers that do not depend on Google's slow expansion? I have no idea how practical that would be, but at least you would be able to reach a few more people...

I can't really sell it with an upfront price because the game is still in development. The first two books and first four chapters of book 3 are available, which all amount to around 600k words on all paths, but the series will have 5 books or more, and I don't want to ask for the full price now, because it takes a long time to write these.
I had the game up on the amazon store for some time, but there were barely any downloads coming from there, so I pulled it out, because it wasn't worth the extra effort to port a new version for that store.
When the whole story is finished, I'm planning to put a full-priced version of the game on Steam, and maybe then I'll also consider some other stores, but that will be years from now.
Ok, good luck and sorry for noise.
Amazing story, enjoyable and fun. Must be crazy hard to keep up with writing it tho.
A song that kinda feels like it matches this is "Tabi no Tochuu (Spice and Wolf)" by AmaLee.
Barry (my one at least) is a crazy but smart guy focused on his aim, which I love.
Good luck with the rest of it, I'll defo be keeping up.
PS - You might wanna secure achievements by forcing over the cloud or something cause someone can get the books for free by editing the savefile as root.
This is interesting
In my mind that we don't need even any requirements to download Reigns: Her Majesty because the play store has already blocked that person who is stealing the applications and sell out from another platform.
Make sure this application which is on Editor choice like Reigns: Her Majesty.
Would you have to play on a Smartphone but that phone must be an Android phone.
What did the developer do with me?
Bought this game during the sale. It's wonderful and engaging. The decisions are harsh at times and that's the beauty of it. I hope I will play it for a long time and the cards won't repeat. So far so good. looking forward to replayability in others reign games too. Will download others soon too.
In general, the game is extremely entertaining fun for a person who enjoys strategic games. It really makes you think about your situation and weigh your odds. My only issue is that there are a few minor bugs in the game, such as the several times I had not reached the very bottom or top of any meter, but one suddenly jolted down and the game ended. This is probably my only problem with the game, and despite it, I would still recommend this game to anyone who really likes a game that makes you think.
Although you have a paid version you can download or no it depends on you.
Good graphics that I checked.
