Hi,
thank you very much!
I like to do short review because I think most of us want just to understand how to play the game and try it.
Anyway I'm Italian and I'm not that good to write in English.
I hope it's understandable!

I liked your review and I've downloaded the game because of it. However, I felt that it lacked a personal touch. It's always nice to know what to expect of a game and how to play it. But 'It a really nice game and if you like old style platform games you’ll definitely enjoy playing it.' seemed to be a little too short. Well, at least for me.
Anyway, you made me get the game

Hi katerinette,
I agree with you it's a bit short but I'm trying to improve my skills.
It's just a bit tricky for me because I'm Italian and a developer. I have some difficult to write in proper English and at the same time you maybe know how much concise are developers!
Anyway I hope next reviews will be better.
Thank you for reading my review!

New game for android: Time4Destroy

Hello, I would like to present a game that I have developed for Android. It is free and it's my first game: Time4Destroy.
You can download it on the Market, here are a qr code for fast download and a screenshot of it.
Any comments for improvement are welcome.
Thank you.
Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=a3g.time4destroy
No comments?
Dl now...will report back...looks fun.
Not bad at all! Kind of like reverse tetris with a touch screen friendly ui. Definitely a good time waster. Thank you for putting full volume controls in, my boss frowns on gameplay at work.
i've only played the first 3 levels, but so far I like it. It's alot like my wife's favorite psn mini game, which I cannot remember the name right now. And I think that there is also an old popcap game that's similar. But that's not a bad thing.
The only suggestion I have is to space the buttons out a little more across the bottom. They just seem a little cramped when I try to play a little faster.
not my type of game. maybe a good time waster. great job anyway.
thanks for your comments!
Merry Xmas and play Time4Destroy!
It's free!
Game looks good but requires too much permission. Why it wants to reed my contacts???

Thanks for your comment.
Hey!
I played it now to level 6 - I really like the game concept and it gets quite addictive!
If you would like to improve the game, I'd suggest to improve the gfx.
Anyways, great work
Cheers!
Thanks! I wait your good comment on android market

I really love this game :good:
Thanks! You warm the heart of a small developer ^^
Very cool game! I was already a big fan of Bejeweled, but your game actually puts a bit more strategy into it which makes it more difficult and fun!
Great job!

I am still trying out a few different formulas for the new mode so it's hard to say. But what I can say is that it will be a completely new experience, and hopefully a lot of fun! :laugh:
Ran across this game in the play store and been playin it ever since

Wow, thought I was more or less invisible in the play store ^^ Thanks
Awesome work man, you are even on the headlines nice :laugh:.Will try this game soon, keep it going.
This game looks awesome, concept is pretty simple but you took care of all details and you polished very carefully all the animations and artwork.
Did you do all that game all alone including sounds and graphics?
Great job though, i love when a developer goes indie :victory:

[GAME][2.3+] Get The Mouse 0.7.1

Hello everyone, I want to tell you about a new game which was developed by me and one dude in 4 month.
This game is really casual and hard as it turned out for players. Honestly saying casuality of this game is high and you can wonder why this game develope so long time. Unfortunately gamedev is not predicatable thing - seems to be easy, but seems to be no. It seems to be a cool, but it seems to be no. I wrote to 8 publishers (maybe incorrectly I guess and they havn't read), but only one replied, it is LeTang.
Before final verion they said they are quite interested with this game, however when they got a final version for test they denied it. Their arguments were they already have several same games and this game is not outstanding.
Okay, that's alright, whatever, but 4 month of development were behind our backs. Nothing is left only we could try to publish this game by ourselfs.
If you enjoyed with Flappy Bird, you will like Get The Mouse too. But don't think it is a clone, not at all, even game mechanics much more different and diverse, just if gamer could get more then 5 scores in Flappy Bird he will be able to get much more in Get The Mouse or maybe he will can get to the end. Yes, this game has the end but no levels, only one tunnel 200 meters long.
You will pull out the mouse by its tail and don't let it glut oneself cheese, because if it eating the cheese it growing and finally just will stuck in tunnel. And here is an example of tunnel
You can decrease size of the mouse you just need to tap fast on it and it will fart (sorry) and get smaller. Sometimes. when everything is complicated, there is a possibility to use time dilation and while it acts you can decrease its size. Oh yes most hardcore players can gather the coins by their fingers, but is not necessary, because scores will be converted to coins. You can't buy coins for real money.
And finally here is a promo video from youtube
Quality of video is bad, but there was no resources or skills for better.
And here is a link to Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lennon.mouse.android
P.S Let's discuss! I would be glad to answer to your questions if you have some. Also I wonder to read any criticism. I want to discuss this game with other people if someone will be interested to discuss. Thank for you time!
How many other threads goes above this thread.... Does anybody has any comments, please?
totally new idea
funny & nice game
wonderful quality
5 stars
thanks a lot :good:
5 stars
Hello again!
Guys, I'm disappointed how Google Play gives and output of search results. On my PC I see this game on 64-th place whe searching "Get The Mouse" without quotes. And on my phone I see it on 14-th place. I wonder how many people stops searching Get The Mouse when they don't see it after two or more scrolls to the bottom of the page.
It looks really hard, but only at first look. Can you make posting of scores? I got 4538 scores, I wonder is there somebody else who could get more?

It is depends on motivation. More users - more motivation. I think I will implement leaderboards using Google Play services. More over I will make multiplier using Google Play services too.
It's a pretty fun game good work. Which engine did you use and how long did it take you to make?

Engine is LIBGDX and it was took about 4 monthes with some periodical rests. We had not much time for game.
Good idea for this sort of game. Usually games where you are punished for hitting the wall just end on hitting the wall, and leave a frustrated user (me!). With your game you can continue playing, if the mouse has not gotten to fat, and therefore it's fun to play.
Nice game. I really like the graphics In your promo video, I suggest that you use some sort of screen capture software to do that instead of using camera. That's a huge minus point for your game promotion
Great! Like this app!!
I tried it and looks very nice
Good job
Mad graphics, did you do them all yourself?

[GAME][2.3+] Reflect Yoself

Hey wussup xda-devs
We're BIpbop games and we made this little indie action game Reflect Yoself: Drawing Action!
Very hard and dare to say fun
Screenshots attached.
Description:
Draw the lines with your finger to make cute monster bounce in desired direction. This simple game is a hard and fun challenge for your orientation ability - You'll need to predict and aim where you wanna reflect by drawing a line in front of your moving player to change his course. It's really easy to play but hard to master.
Avoid a cloudy cloud and eat as many lemons as you can. If you grab 'em fast and bounce, you'll be awarded with bonus points for that action. Now you can show your precision by quickly lightning three torches in a row and get few points extra.
Install:
For now you can install it from Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bipbop.Reflect
What do you guys think? Do you like it? Somebody just made 250+ points, can you o better?
Thanks for your time and happy reflecting!
That really is challenging. I like the gameplay a lot. It could maybe use some more instruction as new things appear, for instance I have no idea what the bomb looking things are supposed to do
Thanks... yeah those 3 things are supposed to be torches and you need to fire all three of em in a row to get a precision bonus
Nice music and sounds, I like it. And it's not easy to play, something like Flappy Bird (but it's not that hard). Here is how it looks. Also, I appreciate that there are no unnecessary permissions for this apk!
nice game!
Thanks guys... :highfive: we're doing our best to deliver the best possible product we (us two) can!
Any feedback is much appreciated...
Cheers!
We got reviewed by guys from Essential Android:

Thanks man... yeah it's really hard to see the real picture because we have so little downloads and those we have are pretty much from our friends & family... so... we're still trying to do some marketing and get more downloads and then it would be probably be more clear if the game is good or not... We love it but, you know... if it doesn't get to users, it's not that good
So,, do you maybe have some advice on mobile game marketing? I found this good but kinda old resource http://www.pixelprospector.com/the-big-list-of-indie-game-marketing/
Thankss!
New and fresh screenshots attached ^_^
See it in action here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bipbop.Reflect

Really like the gameplay and art style. Some explanation might be needed for the precision bonus, but it became clear after a few games.

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
