Hey everybody,
I just wanted to tell you about my new awesome drumming game, FLOW - A Space Drum Saga. Unlike comparable games, where you just have to hit colored buttons when they reach the bottom of your screen, you really have to feel the rhythm to play the drums and master the game.
If you are talented or musical experienced you can take right off. If not the game might be a little hard in the beginning. Practise for a few games and play with headphones, the reward is twelve unique levels full of style, pathos and fun, and possibly the most incredible gaming experience for a long time. And you will learn to drum. Seriously.
Just give it a try, and tell me what you think. You can download it for free in the Play Store.
I would love to provide some screenshots but my account is too new :/

Thanks for your feedback, hope you enjoy my little masterpiece ^^
peace out

Hey, thanks for your replies, everybody, I'm glad you like the game!

All you guys seem to think that . Must be the minimalistic graphics, altough those of Patapon are way better. This and drumming is the only thing they might have in common.
However, I think FLOW is Patapon on steroids and has a much more intense and very different gameplay.
Perhaps make it more beat/battle game like patapon?

I am planning to add a few more levels, maybe I can implement something like that. But it won't be like Patapon, FLOW is supposed to be unique.
This is a great game. should have more downloads!

Thanks! Yeah, I don't get the Google Play Store. FLOW is ranked pretty badly although it has only good ratings. I guess too many people uninstall the game, because they can't win the first level, or maybe because I don't sell the app. I tried my best to make FLOW popular, but all the game mags and press guys I contacted ignored me or asked for money to write a review. Screw them, xda-dev is much better, and that's why you will get exclusive insights instead of them.
As soon as my other project is done I will start to work on the next FLOW update. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Those are a few things I want to add, but not everything will be part of the next update.
Noob difficulty:
Too many people fail. So the noob difficulty has to get easier. Maybe I will add visual beat indicators like in guitar hero to help beginners get started. This is something I really didn't want to implement, but noobs might need it. At the moment only the first four levels can be played on noob difficulty, the update changes it to the whole game, but the Special Drums will remain hard to be played.
Multiplayer:
Challenging each other online would be damn cool, right? I've got some ideas...
New Levels:
The story of FLOW will be continued. But I won't spoil anything yet.
Level editor:
It would be pretty awesome if everybody could create custom levels for FLOW and share them on the web. This is a LOT of work, and probably won't be part of the next update. But it will come. :fingers-crossed:
I will keep you up-to-date about the progress.
although google play says that can be installed, the app isn't working on samsung galaxy ace.
i try the google play version and the apk from other source.
says "not instaled" when you try to install.
it's for arm v7?

Darren is right. It's supposed to work on your phone. Requirements are SDK 8 (Android 2.2) and above. I have played it on a Galaxy Ace myself some time ago, so this is really weird. Does this happen with other apps too? Do you have enough space on your device? Maybe try a reboot... Sorry, but this is all I can help you with at the moment.
=========================
I have made a public benchmark of FLOW I want to share with you guys:
pastehtml.com/view/cf2osimmc.html (sorry, still no links yet :/)
And the Winner is the good old Galaxy S II, thanks to the smaller screen resolution it beats the bigger S III at FLOW...
If your game is running slow, you should turn off some of the graphics settings, like antialiasing. This can help A LOT.
Played it, love it, it's a really nice fun game. Now excuse me, I'm space-drumming.
I am really enjoying the game on both a galaxy s3 and my nexus 7. I find that it can be a little jittery at times on both devices and I'm hoping that the next update smooths out the overall gameplay.

Actually it should run quite smooth on a galaxy s3. Maybe there are some background processes of other apps that start now and then and lower the performance of the game at times. You can try to use a task killer to shut down all your apps and then launch FLOW.
If this doesn't help or is too uncomfortable, you can turn off some of the graphics settings. Turning off Anti Aliasing improves the performance by 10 - 20%. If you turn off all the graphic settings the game will run up to three times faster, depending on device and level.
Fun game, very original!

2nd app release for me.. I used to play this great BBS game called legend of the red dragon (lord) and yes, showing my age on this one
Anyway, created an api, installed the game on my server and then created the app.
Its free too.. has 2 inapp purchases but not required for game play..(remove ads/buy extra gold)
Some details:
The premise of LORD is that a Red Dragon is wreaking havoc in a town where the player has recently arrived. Multiple players compete over a period of weeks to advance their skills and to kill the dragon. In order to achieve this goal, players must face combat to gain experience. Once they have gained enough experience, they must face their master at Turgon's Warrior Training and advance in skill level. Advancement presents stronger enemies and masters; a player must reach level 12, the final level, before challenging Turgon himself and attacking the dragon.
As a BBS game, LORD uses a text-only interface.

So many fond memories of LORD.
Installing LOBD right now, will try it out on my lunch break
Recommendation for your next app: Swords of Chaos, another great fantasy BBS RPG
(Or alternatively, Planets - LORD in Space!)
We should be able to press/click on a players name and see some info about them. Whatever our character would see just by looking at them( if they are heavily armed, strong, fast...etc). Maybe an avatar too.
I was a lord master. I could rise to the top so quickly admin reset the server due to complaints I was 'hacking'.
I loved renaming the strongest weapon in the game to "a stick". Probably why people thought I was hacking. Loved lord and am now getting into this blue dragon game.
Keeps saying that my session timed out

Fun game. Finding the options are too small. I was fighting a higher level enemy and was almost about to win when I accidentally tapped run vs fight. They are too small and close together to easily select things. In the weapons and armor stores you have buttons. Perhaps buttons for fight and run in a row, then automatic options in the next row?
Pretty cool game. I like it. Its simple and I didn't want to put it down last night.

Before your reply i pulled the apk and emailed it to myself.
What's the difference between my ooold version and this?

Hello, I would like to present a game that I have developed for Android. It is free and it's my first game: Time4Destroy.
You can download it on the Market, here are a qr code for fast download and a screenshot of it.
Any comments for improvement are welcome.
Thank you.

No comments?
Dl now...will report back...looks fun.
Not bad at all! Kind of like reverse tetris with a touch screen friendly ui. Definitely a good time waster. Thank you for putting full volume controls in, my boss frowns on gameplay at work.
i've only played the first 3 levels, but so far I like it. It's alot like my wife's favorite psn mini game, which I cannot remember the name right now. And I think that there is also an old popcap game that's similar. But that's not a bad thing.
The only suggestion I have is to space the buttons out a little more across the bottom. They just seem a little cramped when I try to play a little faster.
not my type of game. maybe a good time waster. great job anyway.
thanks for your comments!
Merry Xmas and play Time4Destroy!
It's free!
Game looks good but requires too much permission. Why it wants to reed my contacts???

I played it now to level 6 - I really like the game concept and it gets quite addictive!
If you would like to improve the game, I'd suggest to improve the gfx.
Anyways, great work

Hi.
I'm looking for a game to play in the long term. No specific genre but strategy is nicer.
It has to be a game that I can let go of the phone at any moment, preferably with low battery consumption.
Previously I played Guardian Cross, wasn't very nice in the battery but I could let go of the phone with no problem, but now is ending so I need a new game.
Tried Rage of Bahamut but didn't like the presentation.
Anyone know anything like this?
The game is to play at work in dead times where at any moment I might have to let go of the phone.
Also I don't want to say MMO but something that I have progression and doesn't have any real ending. It's hard to explain.
Thanks in advance.

Very nice game. It's very close to what I need. The battery consumption seem very low and syncs to Google play. But, alas, it has a major flaw. If I lock the screen it loses the connection and I have to restart the app. Since the major thing is that I'm able to let go of the phone at any moment it's almost what I want with that exception.
I'm going to update the first post with more info.

Hey all, I released my first game for android last night. It's called Pimp Hand. It's intended to be a satirical time waster and nothing more. I'd appreciate any feedback (good or bad).
Pimp Hand on the Play Store
I will say, though, if your feedback is along the lines of "This game looks like crap", please save it. The game is designed to intentionally look the way it does. I personally feel the aesthetics of the game add to the comedy. Other than that, I welcome any feedback and would love any suggestions for additions to the game.

Hoping soon to get google play games leader boards incorporated, but that is going to drop compatibility for older devices, so I'm a bit torn on it. It would give a means of competing with friends that can make it more addictive, but less devices....
I also published my first game recently, keep it up
Still needing more people to try, review, rate, and +1 my game. I appreciate any people kind enough to try it at least once.
The gameplay is quite good. Keep improving it
Tim is an ordinary 2D platformer that me and my classmates developed as an exam project at school. We would like to get some feedback on the game to improve it further.
We have already got the game up on google play store so I will provide a link to that. I will also provide a link to our website where you can find information and downloads for both pc and android.

Ok so I tried out your game so here is some feedback
1) The 2nd level its too hard for players to find the exit , thats why the feedback isn't coming in for you. Thats a shame because the 3rd level purple theme is pretty good.
2) Make the 1st couple of levels shorter so that players get used to finishing levels.
3) Add enemies to the levels to make the game more interesting.
Thats just a few tips there is more but this is a good start. Don't expect feedback until your game has more to it. You can try my games and pick up some idea's for your game.

Thank you for the feedback. We are curently working on a AI for enemys so that the game will be a bit harder so that we can make the levels shorter. Will also try out your game. Thanks alot!
Also for the people who try out the game and get stuck on the second level. My guess is that it' son level 2 at the undergap of the floating island you just hold left on the ramp and fly so far to the left as possible there you will find the portal. We will move it closer in the next update
Good game. Keep it Up.
[Update]
We will soon upload an update for Tim on Android and PC where there now is enemys with AI! so the game will be a bit more challenging.
Well we may not have gotten much feedback but we are soon on 100 downloads
Well, I have played the game.
I like it, worth an A+.
Hey naknul,
I like your game! I know that it's much work to create games like this.
For me it looks weird, that his head "walks" through platforms, but he is also in able to stand on it. Do you know what I mean? But maybe I'm just confused because it works different in Mario
Keep it up! :good:

Ah yeah i see what you mean. It's most because he can jump up through the platforms from underneath.
Really nice job! I appreciate people making any kind of game solely because I don't know how to make one (yet!)
The background music in the third level stop being "background" music. It gets too high and becomes the main thing you hear which is a bit odd.
Other than that, really nice game!
