For those of you that remember Space Trader for the Palm OS, there is a newly released beta version called Dark Nova.
http://code.google.com/p/dark-nova-android/wiki/BetaInstructions
I am not affiliated with these guys, just posting about one of the greatest games ever made. It is still in beta, and needs some work, but still, best game I have ever played.
hmm.. seems a lot like DopeWars but with some space-style graphics and more confusing gameplay.
This one has potential but they have a LOOOONG way to go before they will have a polished game ready for the masses.
There is no native way to close the game, going to different menus opens layers of windows which started fc'ing on me. After about 6 fc's I was back at the main commander screen.
Even if it doesn't fc you still just go back one page if you hit the back button so if you warp to another planet and hit the back button then you are instantly back where you started??
Good start though. Now that they've proven their concept I hope they make a game out of it

care to enlighten me?
*edit- I played it for 10 minutes or so and found several things that are almost identical to DopeWars. Buying and selling stuff, buying and equipping weapons, traveling and being stopped by a raiding party, the bank...
Seems like a very similar concept to me..

Its what I said it was. SPACE TRADER. It was a game built for the Palm OS and kicked major ass. I guess you could find similarities with dope wars, but it is different.
And yes, it is still in beta. The more people that help out, the quicker it gets polished. It is brand spanking new. If you ever played Space Trader, you would certainly LOVE this game, as I believe it is an exact replica, but with better graphics, and I think they added more missions.
it is similar to dopewars. jsut because it is set and space and has some diffrences does not mean he isnt right.
Its nto a bad start for a beta, i am sure the origonal was great and fans of it will liek this.
you dont have to get defensive though when someone differs with your opinion or compares it to something else

I said you can find similarities, and we both said it has its differences. I don't think I was being defensive. Plus, if you never played the original, and haven't really played it, I don't think you have standing to compare it really. You can speculate, but at least say "never played it, but seems similar to this...".
Would you say all FPS's are the same? Probably not...I think you see what I am trying to say.
Dude, are you paid by the devs to post these bs responses? Man, if they're similar, they're similar. Get over it. You just said u weren't being defensive and continued with another defensive post.
And yes, all fpses have obvious similarities and that's why they fit into the fps genre. It's not like the dude called it a dopewars RIP or clone.
All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
you are being defensive again. I acctually have played the origonal i played this and see that is is the same game as origonal however the new interface is cluncky and there are TONS of fcs. No one said it is the same. We said it was similar and under your new criteria i CAN say that. I hope they can make it work and make the FCs go away and the interface a little more polished.
i wouldnt say all FPS are the same but i would say they are all similar.
I'm not sure if this is a zone defense or a 3-4 he is running..All I'm seeing is blitzing!!
ROFL, paid by the devs. Yeah....I get .00001cent for every download lol. Sorry folks. LAST TIME I will ever post any new beta that is out there. My fault for assuming people with too much time on their hands could be mature!
Middle Earth (the original) Space trader, as well as Dope wars, were once Amiga CNet BBS addon games in the late '80s - '90s. They were also made into "doors" addon games for IBM BBS, back in the days before the WWW. Similar and fun. Though you played against other people and only had one turn every 24hrs..

Seriously bro, calm down. Or just stop posting. You are the only one in this thread who has not been mature about YOUR thread.. I thought it was a decent start of a game. My comparison to DopeWars was a compliment, DopeWars is a classic and I restore it everytime I flash a new rom
I think there is a lot of potential for this game. I would suggest that you follow your own advice about not posting about any more beta software if you can't handle a little feedback that isn't "LIKE ZOMG WHERE HAZ THIZ GAME BEEN ALL MY LIF3??!!"
I'm glad they ported your favorite game of all time to the EVO and I hope it matures into a paid-on-the-market worthy game..

DOOD, My first DopeWars experience was on my Ti-83!! Damn those were the days.
I remember how freaking revolutionary it felt the first time Sierra built mouse control into a King's Quest game (I think it was KQ5?)

Hey all
I'm thinking of buying this really nice tablet. But of course, it needs to be properly justified with the powers-that-be (The Wife).
Anyway I'd really like to use it with my almost 3-yo son but I'm not sure if there are *good* apps for kids. Entertaining apps but also some that could be educational. I don't want a simple doodling app, but something engaging and interactive.
The iPad has tons of these, I know. But want to know how large is the market for these apps on Android?
Thanks!
I've only played with Kid Mode and its pretty good but taking a quick look at the market there is a lot out there. Would need someone who actually has children and use them to give a verdit tho.
Oceanhouse Media have done a lot of Dr. Seuss learning apps but they are paid apps.
I don't mind payed, as long as they're good. Dr Seuss's stuff sounds interesting, though I'm from Latin America and his work (if he even is a person, I don't know) is really little known...
Like you said, I'd love to hear from people with little kids on their experiences. Mind you I'm looking for something more than "something to keep him off my back" if you know what I mean
I recommend to buy the stuffed animals and play together outside, because it develops more. If you like some things it does not necessarily been good for your child.
Good advice. Although stuffed animals dont do very well in the outdoors
But some interactivity for when indoors is always welcome.
... Iwas looking for some good apps for kids, but almost no luck.
My 2,5 yr old boy likes machines - cars, trains, wheels of all kind etc.
Unfortunatelly almost everything I found for kids for android is animal oriented - all sort of boring human like fluffy animals.
So my boy stick with watching tunes on youtube, drawing with Drawing Pad (paid) and coloring with Zebra Paint. Everything else - no interest.
Also love to watch someone playing Angry Birds...
Didn't tried Dr.Zeuss - he doesn't speak english (yet...
I'm really missing what I've seen on iPad
Anyway I will appreciate if someone finds something for kids of this age (2-4) and will report if I find something.
Monkey Preschool Lunchbox
I have a 1 1/2 year old and he loves this game. He doesn't get how to do all the games yet so I help him a lot or he uses my hand to complete the puzzles. It was offered on Amazon for free one day, so I grabbed it. I play it on my rooted NookColor with my little one. My TF is on the way and I'm sure it will do much better on there.

This one looks pretty nice. Downloading to phone now to check it out.
you might not of thought about it but why not angry birds. Bright colors birds what could go wrong

Say Hello to a new World.
There are few games on mobile that are insanely addictive. Parallel Kingdom AOT, is by far the most intriguing one I have come across. PK comes across as a MMORG, which uses the GPS on your phone to place you in your actual location in game.
The game starts you off as an explorer beginning his/her journey. As you continue your adventure, you level up, get upgraded weapons and armor, and slay monsters day in day out. You constantly play alongside other players, from throughout the world, teaming with them to form kingdoms, cities and alliances.
Parallel Kingdom uses Google Maps as the background, and makes use of GPS satellites to place you in your real life location. New updates including the satellite map feature lead to you actually getting the sense that you are enjoying a high seas adventure with your mates, or leading an expedition through the Sahara desert, or struggling through the Amazon forest, slaying any monsters that come you way.
The great thing about PK is that you continue in the same place you leave. So you don’t have to worry about getting back to where you log off. Perblue devs have managed to create an amazing game through almost a 3-year period.
PK is available on both Android and iOS.The game has reached the 1,000,000 player mark and is spreading fast. The game is a nice change from Angry Birds, and maybe a step away from it and possibly all other games. Don't blame me if you end up becoming a PK addict.

Hello new world......you got WoW por la me?
Seriously try this, this is an epic game. Not the 3-d graphics etc you would normally want from a mobile RPG. However, this is really an exceptional game, and it runs very smoothly, plus its easy to adapt to and very hard to get away from it.
Thanks for the tip, gonna have to try this out now!

The game uses food as a currency. Food can be bought with real cash, dollars pounds etc. One of the payment methods which can be used is Zong. Zong uses messages to get u food, I am not sure about the entire procedure but thats the basics. If you wish to buy food you are directed to a message which if you send gets you the amount of food you want to buy.
This was brought up on the PK forums as well.
hey... Helloooo new world
I sent out messages to all the people who started playing, just send me a if you need any help at all.

This game has been out for years, you advertise it on the forum along with your referral code and it gets on the front page? Did you make the game?

I am not one of the devs. However, people at XDA looking for intuitive, exciting, and enjoyable content, and PK, is that. So it was'nt a surprise that this ended up on the front page.
It was maybe lost on the XDA forums, because when I checked for other threads about PK, there were a couple from two years ago.
This is a brilliant game and it deserves to be highlighted on the front page regardless of the day it was launched.

DB - Its people like you that are making XDA what it is now, D-Bags like you....
As far as OP goes, I love this game been playing for a few months too......It's very addicting and constant changes and improvements to gameplay and strategy. The Devs are great at listening to the users and giving them what they want. One of the best parts about this game is it's multi-platform so you are playing with IPhone players as well so the vast amount of people playing is ridiculousness. I got the same name on the game as here so look me up.

Hey Guys,
Really loving this community! We released this game on the market last Thursday and only have 12 downloads ATM! We must have screwed something up royally but the only feedback we've had so far has been positive. Perhaps its the name of the game? Or maybe the graphics just look terrible, or what?
Any new name suggestions?
Thanks for any feedback you have!
Erik
Checked it out. I can see where it would be addicting and I'll likely keep it. Honestly though if I wouldn't have stumbled upon your thread here and came across it on the market, I would have never downloaded it. Icon is good but I think the name is what would make me skip it. I don't have any specific suggestions, just try to be a bit more descriptive of what the point is in the title. Also, the menu is a little hard to read and could be confusing for some people I guess. Hope I helped!

The "Fun for all ages" and "Cute fun" text makes me kinda go "eww, a family-friendly game". I think it'd be better off without it at all. A description of what you actually do in the game would be helpful, too.
You cant read the font on LDPI and I would agree with the change of title.
I've not played the game and I don't need too to form an opinion. That is the biggest problem with this game and any game for that matter. People do judge games by their "cover" until of course they get big enough to be talked about/reviewed etc.
It seems to me that you're not really sure who you are aiming the game at. You use graphics that imply this is aimed at 9 year old girls but the language is for geeky teenage boys (and older) with terms like "Rockstah bunneh," or something to that effect.
Look at the comments you have so far (assuming they are not your friends!) They all use wording such as "so cute" "adorable." If this is the route you want to go down then you need to go the whole hog and really target the one specific market.
It takes something very special to appeal to everyone and it may be unrealistic to try on your first game (assuming it is.)
Now I don't mean to sound harsh or overly critical, but this is a game I would never dream of downloading and it appears i'm not alone. With a few tweaks here and there I still wouldn't download it but maybe another demographic would and you could be very successful.
As a final note I could be talking rubbish as I have no particular expertise in the area and your only problem is getting your game recognised in an already over crowded market.
Good luck.

Hello everyone. Firstly i checked it out and have an idea i think you must add an option like using sensors to control the game and maybe the font can be changed.
Maybe then i can help better with my ideas.

This is perfect feedback! Thanks
Now that you said it, I wouldn't ever download a family game either!
I think it was this game i saw on the market this weekend. I was searching for games to play since i had gotten a new ROM and wanted to settle in. I saw the name, saw the icon and the first thought through my mind was "it's probably a little kids game" and instantly just ignored it. I can see how the icon would match the game itself, but the name is just... ehh...
We updated the name and feature graphic. Keep the feedback coming and feel free to make it brutal!
Hopefully with the humor on the graphic people won't think its just for kids?
Just tried it. The game itself is nicely made, but it's not the type of game i would normally play. I see that you have changed some stuff (but not released the update yet) so i can't say if it's better after the changes, but one thing is sure, it needs so much more blood. I want the bunnies to pop like a balloon when they fall to their death.
Fine, i'm joking. Or not?

Hey there, sorry for you, but dont give up.
I am pretty sure its the bunny on the icon and the first splash screen. It neither sweet nor serious. Its rather a bit scary. ;-)
Try to change this. In my view the little bunnies ingame are sweeter than the one in the icon.
Good luck!

I agree in title change too. Don't give up, the market is also not über easy to find new games sometimes cause they get lost in the sauce quickly.
MoPhoACTV Initiative
Use proper English in the description, call it something catchy instead like Foxes'n'Bunnies (REALLY bad example I know, but you can most likely catch my drift), and I would make a more rounded corner icon
I know others have mentioned it, but I'm throwing another vote in for a change to the title and the general copy of the description.
Currently, the description is vague and comes across as unprofessional. The description gives little information about the mechanics of the game, or even the style of gameplay (does it resemble a puzzle game? A 2D side-scroller? Is it controlled by tilt? Touch?). More information would be useful. The writing itself resembles internet memes more than a game advertisement. General touches such as cleaning up the writing (and perhaps removing the speech bubble over the rabbit's head; it looks like it was done in paint) can go a long way towards conveying professionalism from the developers, which helps consumers to trust both your legitimacy, and the legitimacy of the app. I looked over your website, and it does a solid job of being professional. The design seems reasonable (though I'm not a designer), and the writing is fine. This makes the copy that appears in the description somewhat more puzzling.
That said, it seems like you're on to some good things, and I have a great deal of respect for developers who turn to the community and look for honest feedback in order to improve. Thanks for all your hard work; I'll be keeping an eye out for your future projects. Good luck!
I would give it a better name, the current name isnt very easy to remember. A good name will help your game spread by word of mouth since people will be able to rattle off the name easier.
I'm not sure how app makes market their games, just getting it out here on XDA helps. You could start a thread over in the Android App Devs section if you havent already for your app. Theres a lot of apps out there and its hard to get something new noticed.
Definitely not my type of game. I'm 31 years old and write like a normal human being. I never understood the writing style in the game. It sounds like a 12 year old wrote it. If you took the physics behind the game and made another game themed around something artsy (check out a game called quell) you may get a different response.
I'd step away from the drawing board for a week our so and find someone artsy can look at the objective and build a different theme around it.
I have a few suggestions that may help you get attention.
1.) Better name. "Outfoxed" would be an excellent name.
out·fox
verb /ˌoutˈfäks/
outfoxed, past participle; outfoxed, past tense; outfoxes, 3rd person singular present; outfoxing, present participle
Defeat or deceive (someone) by being more clever or cunning than they are; outwit
2.) You must have a catchy description. "Outfox the sly fox before you become his next lunch."
3.) Please remove the baby talk and "internet meme" phrases. Most people wouldn't understand it and the ones that do would just get annoyed by it. It completely ruins it for most of us.
4.) While the newer icon is better, it still needs work. Try outlining the rabbit with a thicker black line in order to make it pop more. It blends into the background too much as it is.
5.) Social networking. Advertise your game on Twitter/Facebook/Google+. It wouldn't hurt to create a small website with a link to the Google Play download.
6.) Fix the menu screen. That font is terrible on the eyes. Clean it up and make it look more professional. The whole app screams "Coding 101 class project". Take some notes from the successful developers.
You have a good start, but without that extra push it will never go anywhere.
awesome awesome awesome feedback!
Thank you guys so much! We will remove the LOLCats speak, I didn't realize its like baby talk but I guess it makes sense.
Outfoxed! That's not bad
Anybody have any good vertical shooters they can recommend? Not a really big fan of bullet hell ones, just plain old shooters.
Try Radiant. Pretty cool retro graphics.

Yeah radiant is awesome, one of my favorites. I was looking for something more along the lines of RayStorm and RayForce on iOS. Or Darius Burst which was my absolute favorite shooter on iOS. That one is a side scroller though.

Got it... You're right, it's a good game and is definitely in the same vein. Thank you!

Have you tried Shogun (Market link)? My boss is a huge Japanese shmup fan, and he swears it's just as difficult as some of the arcade shooters he's imported. I've played it quite a bit, and it gets to be pretty insane.
Edit: Noticed that you're not a huge fan of bullet hell shooters. I'd say give it a shot anyways, you never know, you may enjoy it.

Yeah I had it on my iPhone. The first level was cool but it got insanely difficult real fast. There's just too much crap going on and too much stuff to dodge with bullet hells that at least for me, takes all the fun out of the game.

I was gonna come here and suggest exactly that game rofl. I'm currently ranked 50th in the world, 13th in the United States on the demo level leaderboard.
I can tell you that the best way to play is to pull up mid field and straddle slow bullets as they trail down the screen. Surf and ride the edge of the bullet waves hard and early.... Turn your hitbox on and set ship color to dark to help gauge your exact damage zone.
This grazing of bullets builds your shields/power bar. I power up the spread gun with my two initial shields at the very start of the level. Keep grazing, surfing the easy waves as much as possible. Build your gun up and send it into overdrive often as you can and you'll power through and get an insane score. Generally use the laser or the homing only for certain minibosses and boss formations.
Oh, and you don't know how truly difficult the game can be until you start doing flawless sections... there are hidden enemy waves and minibosses that only show if you are making perfect runs with skill. The bullet density and patterns adjust to skill on the fly.
Just saying that in case anybody is interested in that game, I know it can be a daunting genre but there is a genuine sense of accomplishment and reward when you get a high score on a shoot 'em up. :3
