Hi.
I have talked with friend of mine who has developed couple Android applications about making some games for android. We have worked together before on one game and we have working 3d engine that was successfully ported to Android.
My part in this will be to make up some cool game, and to do all graphics (2d and 3D).
So if you don't mind, I will love to hear from rest of android users, what types of games do you prefer or will like to play on your mobile device. That will help us a lot in this early stages to make some concept that will be interesting to more people.
Thank you all.
P.S. you can chose multiply types in poll.
Simple, addicting, and smooth.

Games that can be played with one hand. Of course good graphic is always good. Whenever I'm riding subway, I have to stand and have to play with one hand cause the other hand is holding a pole to hold my body. It sucks cause the only game i can play that's fun with one hand is Abduction!
city jump!
good one handed fun

yeah; it's a nice game; I was kind of suprised by it.
P.S. I don't wan't to sound inpatient or annoying, but I would like if more people had given their vote... Topic has over 170 views, and just 12 votes... It will be really helpful if i get more votes.
Thank you all once again.
I prefer single player RPGs like the Elder scrolls games, mmorpgs are always full of annoying kids and griefers.
I'm a big fan of simple games. What I would like to see the most is some kind on simcity like game. Something that I can play casully at work but has depth to it.

How do you select the poll using the xda app?
As for gaming, simple addictive and easy control, angry birds is obviously one of the best portable games, love pocket legends but it requires a good solid internet connection to play, not always available, wordsmith is probably my favourite a game played using minimal internet use online but at your leisure, basic scrabble really.

I vote for some good bluetooth/wifi adhoc multiplayer games, co-op would be cool, Golden Axe or BubbleBubble style, not internet multiplayer games as I have a PC for that.
I play quick games on my phone.
I go for a morning coffee and my mates are not there so a play a bit of angry birds, simple 5 min games. Nip to the loo to sit on the throne and the same there. more in-depth games i stick to the PC
But saying that I did enjoy playing The Scummvm games i.e. monkey island on my Palmtop, as long as I can end the game suddenly and pick up where I left off the next time.

ReRave is a new music game that just launched for iOS, and is quickly gaining steam and will soon be out for android. If your a fan of dance dance revolution, in the groove, stepmania etc, you'll love ReRave. Here are some links to check it out.

Yeah they are working on it right now. Didnt take them too long to finish the iOS one so hopefully it will be out soon. I've got it on my iPod and its awesome, cant wait to play on my X with that big ass screen lol.
In the meantime, you can always play "beats" in Osu mode which is pretty similar since both games are based on "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan" (known as "Elite Beat Agents" in the US/EU).
I'm glad to see ReRave being ported on android, and it will probably be a decent game, but the guys behind this game (Kyle Ward and Chris Foy) are really fun : They created In The Groove which was a copy of Dance Dance Revolution, got sued by Konami and lost the rights to the game.
A few years later what do they do ? a new original game ? No... They just create a new company and copy another game
I just hope they finish the Android version before they get sued by Nintendo or iNiS
We've got this covered though, with a patent and whatnots.
The android port won't take too long, just some iOS specific code needs to be rewritten.
Yes, I helped work on the game (I'm one of the graphics dudes ;D )
Good news then, thanx !
Looks like it could be fun

I wouldn't say itg is an exact copy of ddr. sure, four panels and you hit arrows but if you have actually taken the time to play ddr (not just one game mind you) and played itg, itg has taken it to a whole nother level that ddr, even now, has failed to reach. so many people are still playing itg and ddr is dying out. it'll be fun to finally play this on my phone. looking forward to it lightning!

Don't think this will ever come out soon.
Been waiting for this for a while and finally saw it in a news article somewhere, tried it out and outs even already been optimised for xperia play. been playing it a few hours and its really good, better than pocket legends and much more structured and fun than order and chaos! Really sticks it to gameloft lol!

I think it's fun when they say "optimized por the Xperia Play" and then I see those horrible graphics.
The PSP, a machine launched 7 years ago (yes, SEVEN), with his 300 MHz CPU can laugh with the graphics of all games available for our 1 GHz-CPU device.
What the heck is waiting SCEE for doing something really good for our device?
Disclaimer: Yes, "the Xperia Play is not a console and blah blah blah", but if they launch a game for a such "powerful" machine, somebody could try to really optimize the graphics.

I agree with you there man, problem is devs want to get to as many people a possible so the want to make games that go on other devices, they change some bits so it runs smoother and add in control support but not much else

Battle bears +1 has better graphics than any psp game so do all the gameloft fps, anyway end of the day, if you want to play high end games, buy a console not a phone, do you really think real game developers are going to stop making £40+ games to make ones for £2.99 on the android market?? use your head

Lol there you have for example Square Enix launching games like Final Fantasy Tactics o Final Fantasy IV for iPhone.
And ALL the "serious" game developers are aproaching more and more to the mobile market, son better think a bit before saying things like "use your head", mate.
The Android Market is the least grossing of the big platforms. It's mot strange that many devs, particularly big names, skip Andtoid or go only to the big-dev-friendly Amazon AppStore.
Miles, FF Tactics and IV are just reskinnings of already done games. Creativity is scarce...

Just downloaded and had a quick go of it and its not bad, might be fun if I can persuade a friend to play. Seems like a sci-fi version of Pocket Legends basically.

I know that, was just wondering why you'd want the game to be play optimised as its controls are great already, similar to games like angry birds,cut the rope,super monkey ball etc dont need them. But i was presuming you knew what the game was. But the forums are used to talk about non-xperia play games as well from time to time so you're kinda wrong there...

I looked at the screen shots, its a simple game I agree, however different than angry birds. That wouldn't translate well to external controls, this game however has swipe to jump, turn, etc, all things that can be accomplished accurately by the buttons or touch pads on the Xperia Play.
And no I am not wrong, your exclamation of "why would you want that?" well we own a phone with game controls, so do you really need to ask that question?
My game stutters a lot, then a few seconds of smooth gaming, then stuttering, anything to fix this? Also the tilt function stops outta nowhere, making me have to restart :/

Ah I see. Well from what I've seen in college the "hype" of the game comes from competing with scores and the relatively simple swipe controls which become harder and require you to concentrate more as the game progresses- by using the game pad it'd become less competitive(since we'd have advantage over everyone else using touch screen controls) which atleast in London seems to be the lure of the game and so wouldn't make it as fun; thus why I rudely asked "why would you want that". I'm sorry I guess, but this game really does not need xperia play optimisation. Anyways, back on topic....

Wrong. The whole point of having a Play is so that you can play REAL games with REAL controls; not the pathetic time killers that are cut the rope, angry birds, etc...
You have no business owning a Play if those are the games you want.

Apparently not, most Xperia optimised games require already 5mins + to play and even then you aren't playing them for long enough for them to be fun... But hey, I'm not a 'real' gamer, you seriously need to lose egoist attitude, the play is a phone before it is a gaming device and just for future reference I do play both types of games but if you want to play 'real ' games you should be investing in an Actual gaming console or better yet a decent pc.

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 :/

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.

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!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

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!
