Greetings all,
Today I released my first app on Google Play Store, and would like to know your opinions especially because I have tested it on only three devices - HTC Desire and One V, and Samsung Galaxy Fit. The game was written as my first app for android a long time ago, with A LOT of documentation online, and I decided tu publish it as a small test for upcoming apps and games.
It's free of ads, and has the sole purpose of learning, so if you install and want to be of assistance, I will be very grateful. Contact me here, or on the developer e-mail (if you do so, please say you are from xda): [email protected]
Be sincere, I know it is a very simple app and the next one that I am working on right now will be far better, but please use an appropriate language.
If you reply here include:
DEVICE:
ANDROID Version:
PROBLEMS:
OPINION:
Features:
- two game modes: Human vs Droid, Human vs Human
- default skin & four additional ones
- option to change name at all times
- balanced AI, simulating a normal game with real people
Please try it out and say what you think:

Hi everyone,
I have just released a free app named TestYou. What is it? An app that offers cute and fun tests to discover new sides of your personality and test your knowledge on a particular topic.
Now is available the Beauty&Wellness test suit, shortly we’ll release many more tests on various topics (we anticipate that they are gonna be about Sports, Fashion&Shopping, Music, Movies and much more).
How clever are you?
TestYou is the test app which has two or more questionnaires for suite on a topic you want to check your training about. Each test consists of 6 questions drawn randomly from a large database, to give every time different pools. At the end of the test your profile will be displayed: if you are not satisfied redo it and find new results!
TestYou:
• is multilanguage (ita – eng)
• has an intuitive and friendly GUI
• is optimized for the last generation devices such as Samsung Galaxy S II
You can find TestYou on Android Market and SlideMe, shortly on GetJar and Mobyhand.
Enjoy it and Merry Christmas!!!
I can't find it?
Hello,
I have had this idea for quite some time now, and seeing I have 0 knowledge when it comes to mobile app development, I decided to give it away.
I DO NOT want any amount of money from anyone, I am just giving you the idea so that I can play it (because as I imagine it, it should be kickass).
First off, I want to make some points clear:
- There are no games on the market that utilize the same idea that I am about give.
- After having searched Google's Marketplace (now dubbed Play Store) and Apple's App Store, I couldn't find a game with similar demands.
- The developer should have a solid background of good graphical games before taking this request.
- The game should be given the graphics it deserves ( I am not asking for a game with graphics like Asphalt 6, just with good graphics.)
- Numerous levels and a Survival Mode with varying difficulties are necessary.
- I don't want the game to be exclusive to me [of course], you can go ahead and put it on the Play Store, and even implement it on iOS and WP.
Sneak Peak of the IDEA:
- The idea uses the accelerometer in a way that hasn't been (fully) used before.
- No on-screen controls
- Accelerometer will be almost abused
- 2 or 3 axes gameplay ( initial idea covers 2, plus 3rd axe easily addable) based on the idea.
- There have been "similar" good games that use the accelerometer (like Speedx 3D), and I believe [with the correct development] this game can achieve the same level of awesomeness.
(I said "similar", because even though it's the same "big picture", the movements would be quite different, which result in different user experience)
Important notices:
- I am not saying this game will be revolutionary, unique(maybe?), game changing, or that it will sell/be downloaded more than Angry Birds, but it's a good idea.
- If it wasn't given the graphics it deserves, it will be just "another game in the market"
- The idea is of course an important part of the Game creation process, but is nonetheless a small part, and the one that demands the least amount of work. The developers will have to do most of the work.
How to get your hands on the idea:
- In order not to have it open for the public eye, and lose it's appeal and exclusiveness for developers, I will only send out the game upon request.
- Only 3 requests at a time will be permitted. (to insure exclusiveness for the developers)
- With the requests, you should send your Company name*
- Upon receiving the request, I will verify that the developer has made at least one quality game (from graphics and smoothness' PoV). The number of downloads does not matter.
- If the developer had indeed quality games, the idea + game implementation will be sent.
- Upon receiving the idea, the developer can decide to keep it, and work of it, or desert it.
- If he deserts it, the request will be sent to another person who's on the waiting list.
*: State your company's name along with the games you think would give off a good impression.
If not found in your account, proof might be needed to connect you with your company (to prevent identity theft) [usually a post in the beta or games section of your game/companies' name would suffice]
Am I a source you can "trust":
- I don't know why that'd matter, but I have been giving feedback/ new ideas to big companies for the past 2 years.
- I occasionally get positive replies.
- I [think I] have caused a couple of changes in Google +
- I am ready to support you during the development process, regarding ideas you might need, or further implementations.
I will give out the idea, plus two potential implementations of the game (how it would work and what it should look like, you are free to follow them or do as you wish).
Waiting for your PMs.
Sincerely,
GM
Hello XDA Community!
As this is my first post here - first, some information about me.
My name is Tomasz (Tom / Thomas). I am a programmer in medium-sized company located in Torun, Poland. I've started my adventure with Android few months ago, when I have bought my first smartphone with green robot OS.
I wanted to introduce to all of you my first Android game - Color Mania. The rules of this game are quite simple: you have to click on the brighter shade of the same color. Everytime you choose correct, you gain some additional time. Every fifty correct choices you gain another extra time but you have to be careful - one mistake and game is over.
From the technical side - it is an effect of my four hours work with LibGDX and still needs some work. All graphics was made by me with Inkscape. It is inspired by two, currently popular games - Flappy Bird and Timberman. Something like "Hello World".
As I am used to iteration-based work, I wanted to publish this game as soon as possible, counting on some feedback from users. I hope that, you - as more experiences Android programmers will write some advices, tips (maybe about app promotion or UX?).
I have no right to post outside URL-s, so you have to remove all spaces from below link and add 'h' letter to the prefix. Sorry!
Google Play store: ttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.to_dev.color_mania.android
Screens are available at the Google Play store (and project site to which link you can find at Google Play).
Please, do not hesitate to comment, rate and post advices!
Thank in advance,
Tommus
Good idea but it's not very addictive... It's just plain and quite frankly... Boring and I'd advise you to find a better name since there are popular apps with the same name

Cool IQ test, I really like that you have some variety of question types rather than only one kind of question And it's great that there is an easy AND hard mode!
As Mensa is a registered trademark/servicemark around the world of Mensa, the high IQ society, what exactly is your affiliation and/or operating agreement with them in order to not be yanked out of the Play Store with one trademark/copyright infringement report over the name Mensa and use of their logo?
Also what happened to the old version of this that was promoted here that had the same name and a Play link with several reviews (which this one doesn't have)
I already change the icon and also the name of the app to avoid problems with the copyright.
I also didn't know, that there is somebody, who already developed the app with this idea. But you asked me for the differences:
- more riddles
- leaderboards implemented
- clean UI (at least for me)
- also compatible for tablets also (I tried that similar app and test it)
- and maybe even more... (don't know)
****** A Chinese Name as reward for participants ******
who provided valid survey answers to all 3 questions
----- Second option: we can answer one question about China, culture, travel, food, history... we'll do our best as just common people, you can choose either Chinese name or Q&A about China.
PM your name and pronounciations (please do your best to describe) to ID: GamifiedZinc

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:

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
