Android Gaming Just Got Better

games on the android platform are really lacking in style and just all round refinement compared to the iPhone. but having said that the company I work for just released the first lite version game of the blob man series.
It's called blob warrior lite and is up on the android market, so if you're looking for a good game check it out. It's the first in the series of blob games released by Black Snow and the paid version should be coming out by February 14th.
Blob Warrior Lite is an addicting game for android using the accelerometer to control the main character as it zooms around trying to avoid being eaten.

Its a fun game and works well - but I wouldnt go as far as saying it's more refined than others for Android.

Game sucks, graphics look like they were drawn by a 3 years old, gameplay is medicore at best

Now what use is that? I'm certain it's people and comments like that, that deters any decent game devs from Android.
Personally, I liked it! It's not something I'd play for hours on end. but a few minutes here and there
Needs a little more work I'd say, for example ability to adjust tilt sensitivity

That was helpful. How about showing your displeasure with the game without being a jerk?

Ater playing the first few games i thought 'Hmm, well this is going to be impossible to dodge the little red montsters.' Then i accidently clicked the screen and a cheese puff popped out which from then on i found out i could shoot the little red monsters haha!
But all in all yes an addictive game which can be played here and there, with different levels + difficulties etc.

That comment was perfectly justified given the arrogance of the OP.
The OP put down every SINGLE Android game saying they all suck, and then talks about how great his new game is.
He could have just said "Hey everyone, here's a new game: xyz" rather than calling every other Android game crap.
So yes, that comment was definitely justified.

wrong, the douche-poster did not touch on this at all....he was just trashing the development of the game, which is gutless and unnecessary. he could have at least worded it in a fashion that was condusive with a person above the age of 8.
as far as the OP's pitch....who cares, theres nothing wrong with being competitive and and trying to reel people in. after all, it is a "market"....no reason to get all bent out of shape over an app promotion, just dont download it

thanks for all the feedback everyone. I will admit the graphics probably need some work and there are more updates to come very close in the future. As for the Motorola Droid problem it might be a resolution issue considering a the different screen ratios out there. I'll pass it on to and see if we can find a fix

[Free Game] Constant C - new puzzle action game

Hello!! I'm a student and a self claim indie game developer in Taiwan!!
me and my friends made a game called "Constant C".. it's on Android Market now.. for free!!
It's Powered by AndEngine ! and we put a lot of effort in it....
so Please!! take a look! if you like it.. help us spread the words about this game.. we will be really grateful
------------------------------------------------------------
Genre: 2D Platform, Puzzle, Action !
System Require: Multi-Touch Screen, IQ Above Average
Tag: Time, Gravity, Awesomeness !
In a distant future, a dark force gained control of the universe. Everything stopped moving – the time is frozen and gravity is gone. The only hope of recovering the universe relies on “Constant C,” a robot gifted with a small circle of power, allowing Constant C to move and to revive the time and gravity within the circle. When Constant C approaches an object, the object becomes “alive” and when Constant C leaves, the object becomes frozen again. By making good use of Constant C’s power, your mission is to remove obstacles ahead and find a way for Constant C to reach the control center of the dark force.
There are 29 levels. To solve the puzzles, you need to be intelligent and creative. Each puzzle gives you a new experience, and along the way, your will learn important skills that can help you solve the puzzles. The unique feature of Constant C will give you a mind blowing experience. So, be quick! The universe is waiting for you.

It's amazying.
I made it to halfway through world 2- here are my thoughts.
This game is beautiful- it looks great, and the way it works is absolutely fantastic. I can honestly say it is one of the best games I've yet to play on Android- maybe the best.
That being said, it is way too big. 5MB should be the max before installation to SD should be implemented- this game is over 20. Either work on reusing more textures, or have it install to SD.
I was playing with the device laying down, and the gravity button was flipping out- switching every update cycle and just going crazy. You may want to have it display an X if the values aren't high enough to justify a gravity switch (I love the way this mechanic works, by the way!)
Fix these issues, and most standard prices you would ask for would be too low for this game- I would gladly pay for more worlds. (Though, if more worlds were added, you may want to work on the difficulty curve- if you want my thoughts on that, let me know). Again, great job!

Thanks that's huge compliment you give us there.. we are really appreciate.
We will work on the to SD feature.. since a lot of people had demanded it! I'll update it ASAP.
there are some reason makes us can't reuse texture though
first .. our artist is new in drawing texture for games... he just draw whatever he feels right and not considering about texture size and reusability. (we will do it better next time)
second.. in some device.. too many sprites makes game really laggy.. so we tend to use huge jpg file for background
i don't know anything about marketing on android app.... because we are totally noobies in this... Actually this game is not only our first game on android.. it's our first android app if you don't count "Hello World" as a app XD
After we think we learn enough to build this game. we go straight into it. It take us 5 months to build because we need to learn new stuff along the way
I use XNA mostly, and my brother use c++ and some graphic engine from his lab, neither did we use andengine before. and we love it!
We are thinking putting ads in it....and yet it's something we never tried XD, so I might need to check documents. After that we will release a clean ads free version for 0.99$ i think..for us.. most important thing is people can play our game. and feel it's not waste of time. those few hour must actually means something

Downloaded to my htc inspire 4G. I Am amazed by what you have created. This is awsome! I love free...but this needs to be a paid game. It is worth every penny.

This game is pretty awesome. Albeit I've had my phone for about 2 months, I've never played a game with these game mechanics. Very original and an amazing first app. I also just started learning android and will be developing my first app in the coming months, and I don't think it will be nearly as good.

thanks
thanks!I think you will do it great too! we just began java programming 4 months ago!
It's easy to learn!

Haha I love the system requirement 'above average IQ'
it's a great game!

Just read about this on the portal. Downloaded it on my A100 and started playing, will have to download it to my EVO 3D later. Love it. This is definitely better than some of the games that other devs charge for. Excellent work.

Last night i try it on galaxy S, and work superb, thanks

I am trying to download it through market, but I am getting device incompatibility message. I am using Samsung Galaxy S GT I9003. Does it have region restrictions, I am trying from India

On the market it says my device is not supported

[Further Beyond Fighting] Xperia PLAY makes a nearly unplayable fighter playable!

If you haven't seen it yet, Further Beyond Fighting is now officially Xperia PLAY Optimized.
I remember playing this on iOS... and it was kind of a wreck... kinda >_>.
Looking at the reviews on both the iOS and Android versions, it's clear that "touch-screen" and "fighting game" just don't belong in the same sentence... this game got rated a lot lower than it deserves just from that.
Swapping between touch and physical controls, it's a MASSIVE difference.
Now it's all smooth-as-butter performance, WITH controls that respond

Graphics is great, but the gameplay is not that good.. There's no spectacular combo, I can't jump either.. there's also a random lag on my phone..

I had Street Fighter IV Volt on my 4th Gen iPod Touch... Capcom did alright with the limitations they had to work with, but compared to buttons it still sucked ass.
I'm hoping Capcom will release SFIV Volt on Xperia PLAY too so I can play it for real.

has very bad reviews.. bruce lee is even better despite its insane difficulty.. (just the memorize-all-combos part though)

Of course it does... people been playing it with horrible touch-controls.
Lol if I had to play a fighter with touch-controls, I'd give it a very bad rating too. It's not perfect, of course, but after playing with touch controls then getting a substantially more responsive experience on Xperia PLAY, this feels like a brand new game. This is why Xperia PLAY kicks every other smartphone's ass at gaming.

Bad reviews because of it being poorly polished, that is. Judging from the game's screenies and video, it looks mediocre. Half-cooked. That's why.

I'm kinda addicted now.. I just love fighting games.. Eventhough I can't jump, no touch pad support, no good combo, only few characters.. but i'm sure this will not take that long because of those issues..
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk

I doubt anything will beat Tekken 3 to be honest.
This doesn't look good at all.

No, this game looks terrible. I mean if this game had better gameplay and graphics then it would be worth it. It seems like a bad game from a fly by night vaporware dev. No offense to anyone who enjoys this game.

Exactly. Nailed it.

Now that's what I like to see from a dev.

I think its great that you are listening and participating through the Xda community. I wonder is or was there ever a demo release of the title? It seems that a round or two of the game would open the flood gates for areas of oppurtunites.

Currently, we have no demo release. But we had some discussions going around regarding a free-to-play version. We will keep you updated when there will be a release.

IMO a demo would be a better idea than a "free to play" version, I tend to stay away from free to play games or free games with in app purchases. As these tend to alway run in the background, and flood your notification bar with "special offers" Gun bros by glu is a prime example of this

I really loved playing Gun Bros but uninstalled for that very reason.

Just a bit curious, but what kind of view did you use to implement the game ? Did you use a custom view from scratch or build on top of an existing one?
Also I think implemented another button --> View for instruction would be a good idea!
And I must agree with moto, keeping even small updates will help spread the word of your app -- what good is it if every user that tries says its boring because lack of content updates!!

@motodroidfreak
Ok i will change that both versions get updates.
@dongjl
the game is build with the corona SDK. i dont understand your 2 question.
Please describe it a bit more.
You will get a instruction and a other button.
I will change that with the updates both version gets updates!
Thx for the feedback

A game like Doodle Jump.
Works well. Didn't have a problem with my Galaxy Tab.

How did you implement the ads in the free version? "Download a FREE game!". Never saw something like that.

Its not difficult with RevMob. You only need one line...

My first game - Pimp Hand

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.

lol... screenshoots

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
