Android Market Link

For the people who like QR codes, like me
I shall post my comments later on today.
[edit] Sorry I checked the QR code before I'd post it. But here is a link to the free version Magic Point Lite [/edit]

I love this style of game! I'm going to try this out for you ASAP.
Personally I prefer desktop market links. I can click on install on my PC and have it on my phone before I even pick it up!
Edit: I just beat all 10 levels. Needs moar challenge (or a timer to see who can finish them fastest!)
As far as presentation goes I'm giving you a 9/10. Fantastic job on the minimalist design. Gameplay could be made more interesting if you only flashed the images on screen for a second each. That would be a memory challenge as well. Still I'd give you a 8/10 in that category. Content is a little limited, I don't know if it's expended in the full version. Thanks for sharing!

Comments
I've reviewed the free version.
I agree with k4p741nkrunch.
The levels are a bit too easy. They don't become much harder during the first 10 levels.
A timer or something to compete with others would be a addition to the game.
Please enable the wakelock, so the phone doens't falls back to the lockscreen when you're not paying attention to the game.
I like the design, maybe it would be nice if the user could select the preferred color.
The game play is also good, very simple an smooth.

Yes, it doesn't work that well on QVGA(Wildfire) devices. I can press one of them, and it'll come with a toast. But if it's correct, I can't press the Next Level button(at least, i guess it tries to tell me "Next Level")
That's what I can see on my wildfire, I can't press the text, and those dots need to be a little bit higher(I discovered that is for next/previous level).
Also I'd like auto-advance to the next level when it's correct.

fifarunnerr, thanks for feedback. I will fix it soon.

Very short game...finished within 2 minutes

you're very clever I will think about new hardest levels

We have released new version 1.1.0.
What's new:
- Wakelock has added
- Russian UI has added
- Some bugs on QVGA-devices were fixed

I got the paid version. 10 levels is too short (I imagine it'll expand). It took me about 2 minutes to finish (I got 8 of them right on the first try).
It would be awesome if in later levels it also included abstract reasoning questions beyond those dots. Spatial reasoning questions would also be great.
I Agree with Tricky-Design, custom color background would be awesome, specially if there is true black for those of us with OLED screens (SGS).
Looking forward for further updates
PS I also expected for the game to automatically forward me to the next level after I successfully complete a puzzle. It's a bit weird to have to tap the arrow.

Thanks for your suggestions We will add more levels in next version.

I could only get the Lite version, but I enjoyed it. I would also love to see harder levels as the game progresses, and I too was expecting it to advance me to the next level already, but it's a very good start to a cool game. My only suggestion would be to have a scoring system of some sort, maybe based on the amount of tries(and/or time) it takes to solve the puzzle.
I did not encounter any bugs or glitches with this game, if it helps. Played on a rooted Droid Eris running Gingerbread 2.3.4 (GSB3.5).

prsguitaruser, thanks I already think about new levels. Automatic next level will be in next version, thanks for this suggestion.

I have released new version 1.2.0:
- New 10 levels
- Auto-run of next level after a completion of previous level

[GAME][2.1+]Robo Miner

Please visit http://www.reiti.net/robo-miner/blog to view recent changes and update news!
Well guys! After some days with heavenly coding to make the game ready for a release - it's finally done!
The first version of Robo Miner is out!

You all know these games where you dig down to find treasures, ores and gems? Well, here's another one!
You are controlling a robot which digs for you. Simply tap in the direction the robot should go and he will do that - if there is a block in the way the robot will dig through it. That only works on mud-blocks - stones cannot be digged but if you dig away the mud underneath a stone block, the stone block will fall down and maybe crash you, if you are not fast enough to run away or place a support bar!
Your target is to find the ultimate gem at the bottom end of each mine. Once found, you can approach to the next, even deeper mine! On your journy you will find many different money-bringing things, like ore and gems.
To master all the challenges, you can buy upgrades for your robot. More battery, a fast drill, more storage or better sensors, to see more fields around you!
The game autosaves itself, so don't worry to lose your progress
I hope you have a good time playing this game
The game is available on android market, slideme, amazon and getjar .. some of them need some time to approve the upload so be patient

Great job. Super addicting.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Update 1.1 is out!
Recently we added support for Keyboard Dock - so you can use the arrow keys to navigate and spacebar to set a pillar.
Also new in 1.1 are "Mystery Fields" - you can find money in them, ladders, pillars - even free upgrades can be found (but rare)
Hope you enjoy the game!

ooook Update v1.2 is out!
This is a bigger one - the game now features an inventory where your robot can carry special items he find on his journey.
The first findable items are - of course - Dynamite!! In 2 different types. You can find this items in Question-Block (with some luck)
Well, Dynamite destroys simple everything - except the robot, which is a bug *g* I will fix that tomorrow.
Everything else gets destroyed: stones, mud, ladders, pillars, questions .. ok, the Ultimate Diamond is Dynamite-Proof (I think diamonds are?) but you need to watch out where you use dynamite.
You will not gather anything from bombed fields - so if you blow up some ore, you will not get it - same for question marks. Also every rock field above the bomb area will come down.
If you lose your robot, your inventory is gone too - so be careful with your little robo ;-)
I tested this new features very long, so I hope everything works how it is supposed to work.
Have Fun with the new Version!

Update v1.2.1
From now on the Robo has an Auto-Climb Feature.
While standing on a ladder, just tap and hold in the desired direction and the robo will follow the ladder until its end.
Finally that feature is in, so with the use of dynamite you can now build really deep shafts and use the Auto-Climb Feature to get fast around.
Hope you enjoy it, have fun!

Update v1.2.2
from now on, you can view the recent changes ingame, when a new version arrived.
also some changes in balance on item-finding - you can now find multiple items in one qustion mark field.

Update v1.3
Yes, it's done - v1.3 is out!
Biggest change this time is the ability to use different save slots. You have one slot on your phone and 2 extra slots on your sd card.
Feel free to transfer your savegames over different devices - it should(!) not be any problem with that.
Please be aware, that we made huge changes in the code, so it is possibly that something will not work as expected - be kind and report any issue, so we can solve it as fast as possible.
We also switched the buttons for ladders and pillars - just because on very small devices the advertisement is too big and players were not able to push the pillar button which is very annoying.
We will surely come up with a better solution for this problem in the future, hopefully this first change help most of you out

Update v1.3.1
small bugfix:
force close when clicking between slots on new game screen

Really awesome work! Congratulations!
btw, which language was used to develop this game?

does anyone ever remember the game Crystal Mines for the original NES?? these two games are a lot alike. i miss that game. i used to play it for hours and the levels seemed endless! someone needs to port that game over!

Isn't this just an copy of the game gem miner?
Just with another character
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

This game is written in java and uses libgdx (libgdx ftw!) as graphics engine so it would run also on desktop if I would release it
and please it's not a copy of Gem Miner (which is a good game too!), like android is not a copy of iOS. This game was inspired by multiple other games and I am sure there exists many other games which have a similar gameplay. Maybe some of you remember Boulder Dash? C64? Or Motherload? Even Minecraft or Terraria
I also made "Minesweeper: Unlimited!" - yea, you guess it, I copied Microsoft!
Currently I am developing an RTS and I bet, when it's finished, some will say it's a copy of Black&White or whatsoever
I appreciate the work of others a lot but please don't depreciate the work of building up something out of an idea by calling it a copy.
Robo Miner has no clear ending (each mine is even deeper than the mine before) it is very simplistic - I am pretty sure, that there are very different feelings about the gameplay. Personally I aim for building the perfect shaft until I find the diamond. You need to think in advance when using Dynamite and so on. FYI: At the beginning of development Robo Miner had hexagonal fields.. but that wasn't ideal for such a game.. (I love hexagons)
I am thinking of new features for Robo Miner too - in the future I want to integrate more statistics, how much fields digged, max depth, diamonds found and such things and set up a little highscore server by myself where someone can compare his progress with others - maybe there will be unlockable features like a jetpack (sort of jump) or increased fall-down capability - who knows, nothing sure until now.
By the way: I want to thank Jase Glenn for writing a review of Robo Miner

It looks very nice, which game engine that you are using?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

I use libgdx as graphics engine

Fun game, frustrating sometimes... but fun
Great work, hopefully you'll add more features soon

sorry if this has been reported.
if you are in the middle of doing something in the game and you lock your device, when you unlock it, the game is not in pause mode, but it loads your last saved game :| i find that kind of frustrating.
great game otherwise

(plz never be sorry about reporting an error, I am happy to get know of it )
but yes, this error was reported yesterday already - the game gets restarted when your devices gets locked and you unlock it again.
I cannot do much about it (libgdx recreates itself) but I could stop the device from going to sleep mode - would need 1 more permission to do that. So the game would tell android to not shut down CPU and/or screen (still trying to find the best solution).
I am not sure what happens, when a call gets in - anyone tried that? game should(!) pause properly (it does when clicking home button)

Keep up the good work...

I have to fix that - it's not tolerable to lose game progress, because a call comes in. I also dont want to block incoming calls.
But give me some time because I need to do some testing for this, especially finding out what exactly happens

I played this for about 5 hours last night!! keep up the good work dude

[FREE][GAME][Brain & Puzzle][2.2+] Pick Lock FREE

[FREE][GAME][Brain & Puzzle][2.2+] Pick Lock FREE
Hi guys,
Here is my new brain game Pick Lock.
Google Play link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.co.uk.dotstudio.PickLockFREE
The goal of this game is to match the target pattern using two actions - translation and rotation. The levels are generated randomly, so the player will face different challenges every time the game is started. The player needs to think ahead like in a game of chess. There is always a 'Key' button available, which shows a possible solution. Please read the 'Rules'. If the players hit wrong button there is an 'Undo' button, which goes one move back, and 'Init' button that clears the board. The 'Key' button is available only when the board is clear. The game features an original background music composed by Yordan Velichkov. The game does not have any competitive goals, but offers a relaxing atmosphere for players that want to exercise their minds. The free version features 30 levels with solutions starting from 1 to 4 moves.
Online web version of the game:

This app is looking great but isn't the logic behind the game too simple ?

hi man,
thanks for feedback. yes the logic is simple in terms of user input. the resulted combinations are hundreds of thousands and that feature pleases me - simple input with complex results.

New update (1.0.2) is available now. The rules are described better, as suggested.

guys, are the levels too easy or too difficult? i was thinking about unlocking the moderate difficulty button and present 30 more random levels with 5 moves solutions.

downloaded the game and played a bit. lots of fun!

Hi guys,
I just decided to unlock all levels of the game and released version 1.0.3. Now 90 levels that are generated randomly every time you start the game are available. I hope that will bring more fun and downloads.
Thanks for the encouragement!

Love this game
Hi @dotstudio,
First impression - I love this game.
It's pretty, and clever.
The 1st few levels look too easy, but then when I tried medium I was confused by the puzzle...
So I went back to the beginning, and started moving through the levels quicker.
After finding that the 1st concept is introduced really slowly, I'm enjoying the way new concepts are introduced after that.
Totally love this game. :cyclops:
Thanks for giving it to us

Thanks @Hotfingers,
I was thinking of a reward system, where the user will have 1 key at the begining which can be used once to reveal a solution of one level and then will disappear. A new key will be obtained if the user solves a level with the exact or less number of moves the solution requires. So one can obtain 90 keys for all levels + 1 key that is given initially for total of 91 keys max. Of course that means that I need to also keep score and introduce some competitive goals...
Btw, thanks XDAdevelopers for the review of my game!!!

The game sound like fun but unfortunatley it does not work on my OneX with CM10.
I get to the loading screen but the the app closes down.

Graphic is incredible! Great work!

@Geggan I hope i will have more experience in the future to solve that kind of issues. If you still want to try the game it has a web version http://www.dotstudio.co.uk/game/

The graphics is amazing!

Really a great game! I like it! If the game would remember the last level I played it would be perfect.

Hi alexx,
Also running CM10 and the app works OK. I think it depends on your handset.
The few CM10 versions I know are still "under development" - so maybe you can hold out a bit until yours gets a bit more stable..?
(I know CM10 is so fast compared to CM9 that no-one wants to go back after tasting 10)
Also you can try different kernels to see which ones make your phone more stable..?
Finally you can ask your CM10 team if they will test this app for you to see what's going wrong. If your CM10 is still under development this should not upset the team too much.
good luck

I still dont have the experience to give any advise on that issue. Since you are the second one that reports issues with CM10 I guess I have to put that in the app description.

cool game!

Doesn't work in Htc One S. The image of the game is too big and I can`t choose user and password. Tested on Xperia Ray and it worked flawlessly. Maybe its a qHD resolution problem in the game.

Same here, qHD seems to be not supported. It's a shame because this game looks really promising.

1st why do we have to register to play ?
2nd would be nice to have a score
3rd my sheep is terminator first I started jumping then I noticed that he could destroy block on his way ...
[edit] it seems that after register the game start without the hud that why I was asking for a score, when you loose the sheep keep running but the score stops.

Hmm.
On my HOX (latest Firmware, stock ROM) the game starts. But as I try to register and begin to type my username I have no chances on getting to the next input box because HTC has removed the "hide keyboard" button...
Any chance to put kind of a "next-button" next to the input boxes ?

hey, awesome game ive been playing it for an hour maybe more lol :good:
just thought id give feedback. the game seems to make my phone run very hott and uses alot of power, idk if it should but i do have games that are more graphic/cpu intensive and those don't get that bad
there's also a small stutter that happens every so often (Using a Htc Rezound btw)
EDIT: The game continues to run at 15% after rebooting. ive rebooted a few times and it still runs by its self
Please fix this
(RESOLVED)

Wow thanks! Yes I understand that it's cpu intensive. I'm trying to find a way to fix the problem. It's not actually the graphics causing it, as they are simple, but it's the collision detection for the boxes. I have optimized the code a lot already, but I must try and get another way.
And the frame stutter is during every advert change. Also working on this.
Thank you very much for your input

[GAME][4.0+] The Tower of Egbert - Enchanted Physics Construction

UPDATE
I'm currently working on a greatly enhanced edition of The Tower of Egbert for both Android and iOS. If you're interested please continue to my latest post in this thread. I've just started the final beta testing phase, it’s open to anyone!

A very short gameplay description:
“The Tower of Egbert” is a physics-based tower building game with a magic twist*.
Unlike in all the other building games I know of, you’re not restricted to using only a few elements to create a rather unspectacular building. Instead you may use several thousand blocks (bricks, arcs, roofs, deco items, …) to build quite impressive towers and discover interesting areas as you grow it towards the endless vastness of space.
You’ll have to fight gravity, winds, falling rocks, and other dangers on your way up.
Build the greatest tower ever and see if your tower can stand the test of time!
*you can build freely until you reach a certain height and activate the physics simulation. After a few seconds Egbert the Sorcerer will come to your aid and enchant/fix all the blocks built so far to ensure you can continue building safely

Thanks for your interest in the game, you've been added to the list of testers!

I've edited the original post to reflect the game's transition from the Alpha- to the open Beta-testing state (no need for joining requests anymore) so that I don't have to create a new thread for the same topic.
As stated above, the game is fully functional already, I just want to see if people are enjoying it.

hm, got the message
"We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server." when try to open googla play page

Hi, in my experience it can take some time for the Google servers to recognize you as a tester. Hopefully it should work by now, could you please try again?

i want to try this ...

I've tested this game on Nexus 5 with Marshmallow with high quality graphics - in this case I would be glad to see a bit more fluent animations. Another suggestion might be support for gesture navigation in menu - like changing the worlds with a swipe, not just buttons. But I have to admit, these are just tiny negatives that don't hurt overall great experience and the whole idea. Thanks for The Tower of Egbert, it has become one of the three games on my phone

A big thank you for trying my game and for the feedback also! I'm glad you like it and I hope it can live up to your expectations and earn a permanent spot on your phone I know the game is a little demanding (unfortunately) performance-wise. That is mainly a result of the high resolution textures I had to use to allow for a huge zooming range.

Hi,
it's interesting game, thanks ang gl
i've tested it on Xperia Arc s lt18i.
everything was ok, as for gameplay only one thing was not convenient for me - "brick type" buttons looks too small, and sometimes when i tried to change brick type - new brick appears and falling down so, i guess it make sense to enlarge buttons and avoid space between them

Sorry, I somehow missed your reply Thanks for your feedback! As for the buttons: they are actually larger than they appear (transparent background) and they are almost adjacent to each other so I guess you must have been unlucky hitting exactly the tiny gap between the buttons.

"The Tower of Egbert" has officially been released! I simply edited the original post instead of creating a new thread.
For those of you that have already tried the game during the Alpha/Beta: a lot has changed since then (and the game got a lot easier - only 2 seconds instead of 5 for the timer), so you might wan't to give it another shot It's also possible to rate the game now, I would be glad if you supported me once more!

Interesting
Very interesting and original gameplay, nice work.

Thanks, I'm glad that you like the gameplay - and not only the looks

Loved your game. Nice game design and gameplay.
Really good work!

Thanks again for all the support! If you're looking for something interesting to do this week and want to win some nice stuff - I've started the first “Tower of the Week” challenge!
Whoever uploads a picture of his or her tower to my homepage (Upload Tower | Giggly Mill Productions) has a chance to win 1 out of 5 keys for the “Unlimited Deco Item” package in the game - it doesn't matter how your tower looks, don't be shy.
Also there will be one single tower that will be announced the “Tower of the Week”.
It will be displayed permanently in the Hall of Fame (Hall of Fame | Giggly Mill Productions). Additionally the winner can choose between a key for the premium version of the game (ads away, unlimited deco, and all worlds unlocked) and a letter with 36 handmade magnetic blocks that can be used on magnetic surfaces (I use them as fridge magnets as you can see on the photos).
This first challenge will stop on Sunday the 28th of February 23:59 CET. I will announce the winners on the day after - if there are some entries of course
Have fun!

Cool game. Like it.
