My Review:
I wanted to introduce to you all to this nifty little widget I found on the Google Play so I thought the best way to do it would be writing a review
Introduction:
For those who are familiar with pet-raising simulation games you will get the idea for Sweet Garden by Toast Inc. In this app, it acts as a widget instead of a stand alone app. So it will be on your home screens at all time. I was a little worried about the battery but it doesn't have that huge of an effect and runs without killing it But because it is a widget it works in real-time and really interesting when it starts talking to you.
How do you play it?
First you will need to install the widget onto your home screen menu. Then you will need to plant a "ppu" which is the main character or plant. There are different ppu's that you can raise to complete your virtual garden.
The game allows you do different maintenance tasks to keep your ppu happy and growing which are rewarded with gold or silver seeds. Basic tasks such as removing bugs, watering your ppu, cleaning it's environment and more will help you take care of your plant. Also there are mini games like destroying moles which reward you with more seeds so you can do more things like buying gifts, more ppus and more.
Conclusion.
I felt like this was a really unique and new style of simulation game for the android phone. Because it's a widget it's really unique because it interacts with you in real time and the characters or ppu's in the game are really fun to raise and take careful. You can download this game free here:

Hi,
I've tried your game a little bit and would like to point out some things, which, in my opinion could be improved:
* main menu text is really hard to read in colorful background, maybe adding an background views, rounding them and making white with transparency, would help. I'm not a big fan of that font either, but that's a matter of taste.
* ad area view is larger than the ad itself, doesn't look good
* what's the point of having to drop all the obstacles from fixed height? It looks like it's only to demonstrate that there is physics in the game and make the construction more difficult than it needs to be
* first time playing I had no idea about ninjas and where are they attacking from maybe some in-game guide lines would help or maybe a way to try their attack angles before placing all objects
* I can't scroll level list if I start scrolling on a level button (that fires an event to go to the level)
* Some animal animations (hurt/happy/falling) would be nice

1) ya right i will add something like button behind this text
2)on which device you are i have test it in three devices in none it is outside of actual ad
3) thats necessary just imagine how it would be if you have to directly put the object where you want also that can create some weird issue what if one put object on top of other object also by doing this it will make some what accuracy to drop the object as because of physics you have to calculate little bit
4) i had written it clearly in android market description seems no one is reading that may be one extra screen shot in instruction can help
5) that's why there is no button at right side
6) not possible because that needs designer and with my current earning it is even hard to afford dog or cat even dare to say mouse so no chance for designer

2. I've tested it on Galaxy Tab 7 and then on Galaxy Tab 10 (in this case ad area is even more "outside of ad"
4. Well, still, I mean there's no indication of possible danger to poor animal when you start your first game And, it's true, no one reads market descriptions and I don't think many are looking for game play instructions there either.
5. Wrong answer, really. I'll write a bit more below.
6. I completely understand you there
So, to elaborate more on points 4 and 5, I think you should give your game to as many friends as possible (and it's best if they haven't tried it yet) and just let them try to play. You'll see how differently they think and behave in a game environment being there for the first time. In my case (simple running/jumping game) I was surprised to see them just blindly tapping all over the screen trying to do "anything" and, despite the fact that there's instructions in the start of every level, they had a hard time finding out that game character can do double jumps and will jump higher if they hold finger instead of tapping it.
In your game, gameplay is much more complex, so tutorial with clear instructions is a must, in my opinion.
As for game level select, I can asure you, that 9 of 10 will try to scroll the button list, not the side, where is no indication that it's scrollable and nothing to scroll there.
Also, I've experienced, that in the start of some levels animals are being affected by physics (or maybe a wind?) and starts to roll, sometimes falling from the platforms. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but it makes level unnecessary hard.
Ah, one more thing.. I'm not sure that asking users for a 5 star rating is a good idea. In many levels.
And, lastly, take my advice with a grain of salt, since I'm just an amateur developer, still learning all these little things: what can annoy your app user and what can make them happy.
2) ya may be i cant see that is out side of ad because i have all device with small screen 3.2 to 3.5 inch so in large screen it will totally visible.
3) yup i will add extra screenshot to with ninja and darts to show animals are in danger from ninja
4) well thinking to add scroll bar somewhat like in browser to move how will be that
also the idea to try game on friends will be much better i will definitely. use that from now
"

yup 100% intentional need to be fast to solve those levels
"Ah, one more thing.. I'm not sure that asking users for a 5 star rating is a good idea. In many levels."
well i am not giving popup in middle of the game so definitely it will not annoy user but i am asking every time at the time of exit to give rate until they give rate thought user will give rating if they dont like this just crazy experiment with not much good result
one more game
guys you can also try my other game "feed fruit to the animal'

[APP][GAMES][4.0+] Space Shooter, Number Game & Weight Tracker all made with Tasker
The past month I got a little into Tasker and all the possiblities. And it escalated quickly - going from proof of concept to working/nice looking Apps.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.malte.ninegame - Nine - a number game (Play Store link with short video teaser making it look a little more fun than it might actually be.)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.malte.space101 - A simple Space Shooter (Play Store link with short video demo - showing the gameplay.)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.malte.watchyourweight - Weight Tracker (I really like this one as it shows you graphs and a little statistic and I use it every day. Also you can make all entries using only the Notification bar. Also import/export functionality. Short demo at Play Store site.)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.malte.cliffheighttimer - Height Measure Stopwatch
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.malte.ldt - Lightning/Thunderstorm Distance Measure Stopwatch
But after all those fun little project there are questions I keep coming back to:
Wouldn't I learn way more making these things with Java in Android Studio?
How much harder is it to make those things with Java (I once had a intro class in Java and know some C#, PHP, Javascript). I once made one of the tutorial note taking apps from the developer site - but although the logic might be quite simple the programming didn't feel too intuitive - might be a lack of understanding on my site though.
Each of the apps above took me about 1-2 days from start to finish (graphics, videos, programming). Does it take longer to make them with Android Studio?
Although they look good - I don't think of them as real Android Apps. Especially as they don't feel too responsive.
Would love some feedback a) on the Apps or b) what should be my next move if I wanted to make a real Java App? (Can you recommend an immersive progamming school - just finished university and am willing to pay for something I really enjoy? I would love to have some people around with the same passion. Or maybe a single developer that would want to maybe mentor me?)
Hi guys =)
My latest project made it into the appstores finally, its called "Zero - a Numbers Puzzle Game".
It was an experiment playing around with a cross platform app framework. And i would appreciate some feedback about how you guys think the result turned out. I would be not just interested in feedback about the gameplay itself but also about how it is performing on your devices, if there are any problems or everything runs smoothly.
Whats it about:
In the game you see some blocks with numbers in it, your goal is to bring the whole playfield to 0. when you tap a block, the blocks to the left, the right, above and below it will get reduced by one (if there are any). the field (and difficulty) grows with each level.
Here are the links: Google Playstore and in case somebody has an ios device: itunes appstore
i also made this short video to show the gameplay. (it looks more complicating than it is )
Awesome puzzle game with refreshing gameplay (I have not seen anything like that before)!!
Suggestions for future versions:
-maybe some optional music?
-different difficulty levels, especially an easier one with more retries?
Maybe some design work needed but i like the game.

what exactly do you mean? which parts of the game could need a new/better design?
In my opinion, the navigation bar could look a lot better
Hi, I like the game and let others decide on the design.
For the game itself, could you have shortcuts to a level? I've gotten to 66, and it is frustrating to restart all the way at 1, and has actually been a reason why I just don't play very much anymore.
Every 10 or 15 levels would be good shortcut areas.
Thanks!
Hello everyone!
I would like to show you my first game made with the Unity game editor. It is endless runner type of game and is very easy to play. I can't post pictures because of 10 posts limit. Try it out and let me know your opinion

Hi Filip!
I'm also a new developer! But because of that I would take my recommendations/opinions with a pinch of salt. Here are several things that I noticed though, 1) the music kinda reminded me of a cheap porno unfortunately, I know that free music is hard to find but I didn't think that it went well with the game. 2) the back button didn't allow me to exit out of the app, maybe this is just me (it's highly likely that it is) but I tend to exit out of apps by pressing the back button. I don't know if that's a common behavior or not though. But other than that it was a simple game that if polished could be quite addicting I feel.

Hi y'all, here what I have for you guys to have a try.
This app utilized the fundamental hardware features of a mobile phone, offer users an alternative way to diagnose, or understand them. If you’re just simply bored, this free app can kill some time for you.
It’s very easy to understand and use, with 11 mini games for diagnosis. What you need is to play, then get the report and have some fun.
List of featured diagnostic games:
Touchscreen - drag, drag, and drag, overcome obstacles, send the 'rabbit' out of the tunnel, if you succeed----I am pretty sure the touch function is fine, but if you fail, well maybe the task itself can be challenging isn't it?
Display - it's for pixels, though you're just too busy reading and remembering those numbers, but it's always good to finish successfully:fingers-crossed:
Speaker - time to practice the listening skill, guess who made that sound! LOL
Microphone - there's a fish, who responded to your voice, I'll leave the rest for you to explore
Cameras - can this one be a 'avatar' creator? :victory:
Flashlight - tap to charge power, get full power to turn-on the flashlight
Vibrator - beating drum, follow the rhythm, feel it?
Volume keys - well, to be honest, this one beats me. If you have any idea making it into an actual game, tell me--- ya right, you could just say let's do 'volumn changing'
Gyroscope - it's the maze, see how fast you can get out. the effects will be improved after update using collision engine. so please bear with me for the edge overlap
Accelerometer - this one beats me too, frankly speaking soda bottle is my best guess so far, looking forward to hear your ideas
Proximity sensor - let's do 'throw and catch', but you need to 'hit' the little creature, and catch the ball that tossed to you. but how to catch? Why not go'n find out :silly:
This is the hyperlink for play store to install the 'Diagnostic Game'

Please let me know if you spot any bugs or unwanted behavior, or would like me to optimize this app!
Cheers!
Guys, how do you think about this concept? There're definitely areas of improvement, no matter from tool or gameplay perspective, do u think this idea make sense?
To me, this Diagnostic game is more about a PoC---proof of concept for such style of tool-----you can also call it a game or featured game, with a different purpose.
One more thing, the new version is under developing, to enhance gameplay and make it more comfortable playing, reduce the complexity... ok I'll shut up
Hi Guys, we've launched a small event, please participate the survey and win yourself a small reward
Hi Guys, any suggestion is appreciated. We will offer award for participants
1: 3 for the novel concept but the mini games are not attractive to me
2: No crash
3: Suggest you to provide more feedback for users' operation. For example, while shaking the bottle, I have to stop frequently to check the status
