Hi folks,
First of all apology to Mods as this question is little off-topic and silly. Couldn't find the right place to post so posted over here.
I have seen on on Google play that for many famous games like flappy bird,fruit ninja,temple run etc. people who top the leader-board have ridiculous high scores..I am attaching a screenshot of flappy bird leaderboard as an example.
Ok,so I googled and found out that if I edit a certain .xml file for flappy bird then I can manipulate my score.I tried,say I modified it to 25500 and it worked.
BUT
the score shows as my local score i.e. that modified score is limited to my device.My score that I see on leader-board is 26 which is a legit score.
NOW my question is,
1) do these people some how gain access to Google servers,where high score for each individual is stored and modify it ?
2) OR modify some other game file to so that the score uploaded is the high score..
I doubt my 1st assumption is stupid but still,had it in my mind so had to ask it.
PS- I don't want to be on top of leader board but just had this curiosity to know cause I saw the same scenario on iOS's GameCenter too..
There's an app called gameguardian that does edit XML files too while running the game but to answer your question I have no idea.

thanks for the reply mate.
I know about this app. What makes me curious is to know that how on earth do people manipulate scores that reside on some server.
I have seen the same thing in Google Play Games! I added one of them to my Google+ and asked how he did. He said, he will never tell the secret. Although I saw thousands of similar high score owners in Games Play Games.
No one is reveling how it is being done. I think they have contact with Google!
Until someone give us a clue, hacking Google Play Games Achievements and Leaderboards will remain a God level secret!

There's an awesome new game, that no one seems to know about, so I thought I'd share it here. I found it when it was made for Mac/PC, and it still is, but it got kind of popular there and I checked it out and have been addicted ever since. They just ported to Android a few weeks ago, thought I'd share it with everyone.
Best part of all of this, everything they have released so far has been 100% completely free, and ad free, which I find rare in any App development company.
"Up? Down? Left? Right? GraviDrop allows you to be the master of gravity.
The viral Mac/PC sensation, GraviDrop, is now available on Androids everywhere.
The game consists of ten levels, allowing users to have a lengthy playing experience, while still being able to push out a high score within the time it takes to say, "I love this game!"
Although, the most talked about feature is without a doubt Free Play mode. Where you can use five special modes of gravity to manipulate balls into creating awesome patterns, shapes, and designs.
Just try to beat out the high scores, we dare you.
Free for a limited time and with no ads! Distributed by @Inertiactive."
Download the game by searching GraviDrop on the market (sorry I'm not allowed to post links because I am a new user)
You can see a video of the game on their on their homepage at gravidrop dot com

Thanks!!!
Hello friends,
I want to clone some android games depending on the idea or concept of already existing games with my code, graphics and without using their assets. something like a game trains you to improve your attention or memory.
Is it legal or not ??
Thanks in advance

That's a Good question.
Well, it's different country by country/game-by-game.
You see, there are sooo many Flappy Bird-Clones!
But you can maybe upload your modified APK on XDA-Developers, here they are very ready for Mods.
...example: Racing Games are very often (Asphalt 8 / GT2 / Real Racing / etc.) because it's something general.
But cloning UNIQUE ideas is more stricter.
Ask the original maker of the game, if he allows you to do that.
And don't forget to write in the credits:
Based on the idea of ...

Thanks for your reply friend :good:
Actually what i want to do, You may hear about lumosity website. It is a website to improve your skills like memory, attention, speed etc. They use some good games to achieve this goal. So i want to use some ideas of those games and make android games with it. So i don't know it is legal or no?! But these games i think they are not unique and they are simple games like change the railway to get the train to its right station or select some objects and memorize it so that don't select them again.. something like that
So i think it is legal to make some games with these ideas and i think it isn't patent at all

A quick Google search using King of the Hill and your username (10 posts before being able to post links is a pain) brought me to it on the play store. It doesn't show up when searching the play store even with quotes around it.
Your artwork is excellent. Is it all created/drawn by yourself?
I'm actually trying to promote my own game Dot Dodger hence why i came across your thread. Not up to the same standards as yours but feel free to check it out and share with your friends - I'll do the same with yours (As you probably have discovered its near impossible to get games noticed on the Play store)
P.S Maximus is my favourite

Agreed.
What technology did you use to make the game? LibGDX or Unity etc?
Its not going great, very difficult to get natural traffic due to the big devs. Thinking about targeting the Windows store for a less saturated market and possibly more downloads. Putting the app on various android stores doesnt seem to make much of a difference and the Apple developer yearly subscription seems a bit extortionate to pay.

I used unity. My too is not so fast but apple still review my game :C
Nowadays so hard to show your game for whole worlds.
Nice one! Hope you can put up links soon enough!
I have just launched my first game Toto Racer on playstore. Do have a look at it too! Hope xda lets me put up a post with links soon! Cheers to gaming
Hey there! I'm new to XDA and I want to share my first app with You. Will be very glad for any feedback! The game is about numbers. Quite simple and clear interface. Your goal is to reach the level 100, but the game won't over after that. You can always go further and gain more points because as you increase your level, You will gain points faster!
Since I'm new on this forum, I can't post links, so I think the package name is enough, isn't it? The package neme is fianketto.from1toinfinity Or you can also find the game through the search, in google play typing "fianketto".
Hello everybody!
My name is Phuong Pham. I live in Vietnam and an independent developer of the interesting game. You can look it at adress:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=super.brother.world
This game is that I really spent a lot of time to research for everybody around the world about a game with more optimal entertainment characteristics.
I wasted a lot of time, even lost a lot of money to develop it, but the results were not really what I expected. In the hundreds of similar games that you can find on google play, the advantages of my game are not enough.
Fortunately, I found a very helpful supporter to solve my difficult problems.
You see, just look and compare the two images of the rankings change that I have achieved after I used this useful method. You will see the difference.
I am really happy and I want to tell for you about it.
You are #2 now for "super smash world mario". But... why is that a great keyword?!
