PushBall 1.0 [Only HD2]

Hi,
this is my first game I developed.
Since I only have the HTC HD2 I tried it only on this device.
I'm not good with graphics so who wants can help me to enrich this game to new levels and graphics more attractive!
Yet only 5 levels!
Tell me any bugs!
This is the link: http://www.xoooox.it/software/index.php
thanx
xoooox.it
(Sorry for my english, I have used google translator)

owtommywo - Excellent Start look forward to seeing this one develop....
I found two bugs from level 3 - it appears that the line from the ball to the original placer disappears. Program doesn't exit with exiting.
Suggestions -
improve graphics on the ball and "hole"
add a gravity effect (maybe on later levels)
Nice little app.

simple and fun little game idd.
bugs:
(level 3-4-5)the line attached to the ball and circle the ball is attached is missing
(level 4) the "physics" in the platforms that move up and down are bit wrong. If you hit the ball one of those platforms, there are times that the ball will "avoid" the platform and move to its normal direction. doesnt happen all the times though
suggestion: if you are going to add more levels, i suggest you give the player an extra life for every i.e. 5 levels or 1500 score.
or if you are going to add a menu, add this "extra life" thing in the easy mode.
keep it up! if u continue developing this game and add more stuff it can get really fun!
btw, since i have no idea about wm application developing, but im really interested in this subject, can u send me a pm with some details about how to get started or some info (like what languages do u use and stuff).

looks interesting. i'll give it a try =)

I found it nice though i just gave it a fast look, with better ball and hole graphics it will perfect, luck

Excellent start. Please keep up the hard work and I'll keep looking for developments.

good
yes good work keep it up ok !!!

Nice game I like it, All bugs I found where already mentioned.
The graphics for the hole are fine if you ask me, but the graphics for the ball could be better maybe something like teeter?
The background is nice, but maybe it could change in different levels?
Anyway keep updating this, it is a nice game!

Very cool game !
Why don't you upload it into my appstore?

You can select the device so it's only for HD2

coooooll game but please make the animation a little bit faster
i think it takes to long from one point to the next ... I loveeee it ;D

hi ,good work

Thanks for the GAME..!!!

Great start of a good game
Some options:
- Dont do a bouncy climber, it takes to long to shoot (gets annoying )
- Make a Menu, where you can start at a level you finished, mute sounds.
- A funny music with the choice to turn it off
- Think of a Theme, like middleages (background ) and create your graphics for that. Like a guy who you have to shoot to every hole or something. And he must reach the top of the tower to get to his girl.
- Get some bonusses in the game, like coins or something
I think this game has much potention
good job

Hi,
thanks for this cool game. Works fine on my Touch Diamond 2.

Nice Little Game, look forward to extra levels, thanks owtommywo, and your English is fine

Thanks to all for comments and encouragement to continue this project.
Since it is a free software project is looking for people who help me with graphics passing me backgrounds, graphics menu ideas and graphics for balls
I commented all your suggestions.
Since it is a free software project I have created a flexible engine so that changing a single file can be added at very easily.
I'll try to update the engine often to add more functionality as possible, but I need a strong support on the graphics!
------------> Version 1.0
List Bugs:
Neville.Holland -> Program doesn't exit with exiting
[On my HD2 i don't found this problem! I can provide some other description?]
Neville.Holland -> level 3 - it appears that the line from the ball to the original placer disappears.
runningdap
[I decided to delete the line to level 3 to increase difficulty. Add a new menu to select the level (Easy - Hard) where it appears / disappears line!]
runningdap -> (level 4) the "physics" in the platforms that move up and down are bit wrong. If you hit the ball one of those platforms, there are times that the ball will "avoid" the platform and move to its normal direction. doesnt happen all the times though
List Suggestions:
Neville.Holland -> improve graphics on the ball and "hole"

golles
[My big problem is the graphics! Since it is a free game, people try to help me with graphics]
Neville.Holland -> add a gravity effect (maybe on later levels)
[For this we have to think a little ]
runningdap -> if you are going to add more levels, i suggest you give the player an extra life for every i.e. 5 levels or 1500 score
batez2002
[Already, increasing the life of every beginning level to a maximum of 7! If you think it's just every 1500 (Easy) points (3000 Hard) I can add yet another. (maximum 7)]
golles -> The background is nice, but maybe it could change in different levels?
[Since I am not good at graphics, the background I got from the Internet. I would change the whole theme every 5 levels, but guys who try to help me with graphic material.]
davidgiga -> Why don't you upload it into my appstore?
[I did not know this application! Just add some other level, add]
jonas2295 -> but please make the animation a little bit faster
[Ok, will increase a little animation]
1Maximus1 -> Dont do a bouncy climber, it takes to long to shoot (gets annoying)
[Sorry, I don't understand]
1Maximus1 -> Make a Menu, where you can start at a level you finished
[Currently stored levels finished. If the game comes out and you can start from the last]
1Maximus1 -> mute sounds
[I'm doing a search for her to enter]
1Maximus1 -> A funny music with the choice to turn it off
[For the soundtrack I do not know how to play midi files in C# application on PDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689863]
1Maximus1 -> Think of a Theme, like middleages (background ) and create your graphics for that. Like a guy who you have to shoot to every hole or something. And he must reach the top of the tower to get to his girl.
[Too difficult for now! But we think!]
1Maximus1 -> Get some bonusses in the game, like coins or something
[While I tried a lot of times I got the same idea! Now two of us to think ... I have to do!]

AfRo_SaMuRaI -> Works fine on my Touch Diamond 2
[This is great news!]
Thanks again to all
xoooox

Nice game !
Another idea could be to add some levels of difficulty (easy,medium,hard). The higher te difficulty, the less bounces against the side are allowed
For example:
- easy: unlimited bounce
- medium: max. 2 bounces
- hard: max 1 bounce

1Maximus1 -> Dont do a bouncy climber, it takes to long to shoot (gets annoying)
[Sorry, I don't understand]

He means the "bounce" effect after the screen scrolls up to the next hole.. it takes too long to settle so you can continue playing.. so if it just scrolled up, then stops immediately so you can carry on playing faster!
Great game btw, simple and addictive like all the best games, well done!

Great

[APP][2.2+][v.2.1] Alchemy 2013

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.su37.alchemy2013
apk: su37.ru/alchemy_2013_v2.1.apk
Only four elements, the four natural elements: Air, Water, Earth and Fire. Even can not believe that everything around us was created by mixing only four of these elements.
At this point in the game 500 elements - the best result among such games.
There is hint system, its availability was implemented very unusual: special hint-zone in which you can put the elements and then we will know how many new combinations you can make. If you play with simple hints hard, you can enable extended hints by visiting "Options" menu.
Held a job and to improve the management, you have two ways to make new element - just touch two elements one by one or move one element into another. Select "Options" menu to select your way
Classic "Alchemy" - but in a new way!

FREE "FlexiColor" - new clone of "Tetris" - like games

"Flexicolor" is a new clone of the "Tetris" (tm) - type family of games. Now your goal, however, is to make lines of the same color vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Rotate or shift your bricks (fleximinos) left, right, or up, and drop them easily with a touch screen control. Fleximinos are like tetraminos in our previous version, but now some of them are flexible and modifiable on the fly. In real time you can decompose fleximinos into two or more pieces, and drop them in their suitable places on the base.
There are many parameters that can be changed - the size of the track, brick style, wallpapers, number of colors in a row, number of colors you play, up movement (up to 3 times per brick), brick helping shadow, etc. Also you can swap current brick with the next one by tapping on the next brick at the top of the screen.
"Flexicolor" is designed and implemented very carefully and professionally. Its performance concerning battery saving is remarkable - wasting the battery two times less than the other major games of this type.
Download "Flexicolor" now and enjoy all new features of the game.

[GAME][4.0+] Shape Rotate

Hi guys
I am a software engineering student, eager xda reader and in my (little) free time i like to mess around with my android phone. So i developed a little game over the last half year. It's called Shape Rotate.
I wanted to do a simple but new game, not another flappy bird clone. So finally i put the first version online in the playstore yesterday, here is a short description:
In my game you always see two equal shapes, in random rotations. Your task is to rotate the outer shape so that it is equally aligned to the inner one - once they are aligned equally tap the screen anywhere to get the next one. That sounds easy, but since time is not on your side (you gain some extra time every time you get the two shapes aligned identically) it gets really tricky once the shapes are not that obvious any more. The goal is to survive as long as you can.
It would be really great if you check it out, i would really appreciate feedback (or, even better: positive reviews )
Here is the playstore link: Shape Rotate in google play
It is of course free (no in-app purchases or what-so-ever), and i plan to add a lot more different shapes in the future! I attached some screenshots of the app, and i also added a demo video in the playstore description.

Great game. Has great potential to be a time waster. There does seem to be some lag between the shape changes that can prematurely end your game. Get that timing down and you've hit a home run.
As for some suggestions to add. Maybe have levels to unlock similar to an angry birds setup. In level one hand similar shapes with minimal colors, next thing to unlock, add another shape or two with an additional color. Thus making each level progressively harder.

Thx for your feedback! Regarding the lags, may i ask which device you are using?
I tested it on several devices from an I9000 to my Nexus 4. The only lag i found was that on older devices it takes some time to start the game, but once it displays the first shape i haven't found any lag :s
Yes i already thought about such a thing - creating different "shape packages" and unlocking them time after time. That is definitely a good suggestion for the future and i will soon start working on this. This now is just a first version where i wanted to check out how the game mechanics work and how people react to it.

I'm running on an N4 with KK 4.4.4 and hellscore b47, most kernel settings default.
To be sure I'm understood, I solve one shape and before the transition to the next set of shapes, there is a noticeable pause.

This is a good concept. There’s a lag also when rotating the outer shapes. Though this might be because of my slow samsung galaxy tab.
Overall, this is a good gameplay.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B48cqoutz8n3dDFnbTJvRm1XOVU/edit?usp=docslist_api
There should be an mp4 video to illustrate the lag.
Seems there may be an issue with the timer as well.

hm, well it could be that what you think is a lag is actually my poor description and/or implementation?
The playing mechanics should be: you rotate the outer shape so that it is correctly aligned. IF it is so, then you tap anywhere on the screen to "submit" it. if it is correct you get the next shapes.
(The reason why it cannot "auto submit" the moment it is correctly aligned is because then it would be trivial, you would just rotate it until it snaps in - thats why you need that extra "next shape please"-tap)
The possible rotation is actually split into 12 different angles, so there are 11 different angles with which shapes can appear.
The best way to control it is to drag with a finger on the border of the screen (or use two fingers as in normal rotation gestures). you have to drag the finger a bit until the shape snaps in to the next one.
so could it be that it's because i didn't explain the intended controls enough? If so, do you have any suggestions to improve that, or how to better explain the way to play it?
really really appreciating your feedback btw :good:

I may not have read it if you wrote it. When initially testing something like this I go for intuitive. The extra tap isn't.
What about doing the the auto next based on a touch release. You know when the shape is being rotated, the screen is being touched. Can you detect when a finger is removed? There would be no more rotation and wouldn't allow just spinning randomly to get it to snap as you describe.
EDIT:
Looking it up it's called a touch event using MotionEvent class with ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_UP

That is actually a quite interesting suggestion! I tried it out, and it feels kind of nice. it also makes the game easier, maybe i have to reconsider the additional time gain... I created a debug build, would be nice if you would download and try it and tell me what you think ( you have to deinstall the appstore version first, since this one is signed with my local debug key)
It now checks the correct alignment each time you lift your finger from the screen.
Edit: i think that is a gamebreaker because it makes the game way to easy. you just have to swipe very quickly on the border, and due to the "auto" check you always get the alignment correct very quickly.
another version would be this one. here it is also checked on touchUp but if the alignment is wrong it jumps back in the initial state. that makes it even a bit harder, but also requires more focus and looking.
what do you think?

OK, going to leave this one up to you. I didn't catch a difference between the two in how they play. The first one appears to be snappier and jerky, as opposed to the second one being smoother and slower.
Either way, you nailed what I was saying. What do you think? I think this is far more intuitive. Now you just need to figure out the levels of difficulty.
The ultimate would be to have the shapes and colors auto generated with random attributes. You would not have to map anything out, the app would automagically create them.

Ok i found some issues that caused the touch input to be way to sensitive or way to unresponsive - that fixed i got some feedback that the overall control is way better now (especially on high res devices).

I still like the idea, but it brings some new issues that i need to figure out. Once you got the current control mechanism people don't think to much about it - so i'm not quite sure if it is really that much benefit. I will test that out over the next iterations and try gathering more feedback (about the current control and about how much people think it's good/bad).

That is the second big point on my todo list. but i don't really know how to start.
The best way that comes to my mind is to define different "base shapes" that are then just colored randomly. but that again would require alot of different base shapes to keep up a good variety?
at the moment i add hand drawn shapes with each update (around 170 now and using .gif its not that of a size problem anymore)

Thanks for support.

I have a new version 1.0.1 released today, any comment to improve the game is most welcome.

Which game engine did you use?

You can see the engine on start of the game

Hey! This game is good. Here are a few improvements that I would make to the game:
- The space background you used looks pretty cool, but I feel like the blue space clouds and the blue bullets blend together. This kind of makes it hard to distinguish one from the other. Maybe change the bullet color scheme to involve a border, or something else to make it more distinct.
- Maybe its just me, but the fast moving top layer of space clouds made me feel a bit queasy.
- In the shop menu, I kept clicking the "back" button on the bottom right thinking that it would exit me from the shop screen. It might be worthwhile to either remove this bar from the shop screen entirely, or make a larger distinction between the two interfaces so that it is entirely clear to the user that s/he is not supposed to interact with the bottom bar during this screen.
Other than that, good job! :good:
Cheers.
