Spacer Racer, my first android game :)

Hi,
I have created my first game for Android, it's "Space Racer" and is already available on Android Market. It's still in beta, so, I'm very happy if you can give me your feedback.
The rules of the game is to race through each level with your finger without touching the border fastest as you can! After, you share your score with the community and you can become the best player!
At this time, there is only 3 levels but I will add another levels soon

I have published a new version. I have made many bug fixes and added many levels ! I wait for your comments
PS : I would like add directly in my post screenshots, qrcode and link but my account must be validate by a moderator !

You simply don't have enough posts...
Let me know whenever you get the screenshots. Also, is it free?

Yes it's a free app !

I just tried it out. Pretty neat for your first game (on the android) looking forward to more levels.

[GAME] Livestock Vs The Undead Lite - Zombie TD

2011 Jul 22 : Update : V1.2 just released to market.
---
Hi,
We've just released v1.1 of Livestock Vs The Undead Lite, a free rts/tower defence game, onto the Android Market and Amazon Market. (edit : just added some screen shots)
This version incorporates huge improvements in both game-play and content over the first release - so please revisit if you saw the first one and found it lacking and let us know what you think.
The project development is largely driven by feedback, so all comments are welcome. We have many plans to implement and would be interested in how you would wish to see things progress.
It is our first game on this platform and sincerely hope you like what you see so far.
Kind regards,
Paul

For the people who like to use qrcodes:

Feedback will follow
[edit] The games doesn't start on my Desire Z [/edit]

Thanks for the QR code post!
I've received reports of a memory leak. This has been tracked down (to the plantspot class) and I'll be releasing a patch later today.
Sorry about the bug - it didn't show up on my device or the simulator and I hope it doesn't put you off checking after the update.
Kindest regards,
Paul

After updating your app it still wasn't able to start unfortunately.
The phone i've got is a HTC Desire with stock non modded (looks like i'm one of the few around here ) Android version 2.2.1.
If you need some more information, just ask. I'm happy to help!

Thanks for trying again and sincere apologies that it's not behaving. My test device is a Desire running MIUI, and given that yours is unmodded makes its bad behaviour all the more worrying.
If you would be so kind to submit your logcat - I'll see if I can trace down the source of the problem (most likely memory at a guess).
Many thanks,
Paul

v1.1b has been uploaded with further memory optimizations.
This should fix some of the issues a number of you have reported.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi paul, good news. After the second update the game works. I shall give it a try later on today.

Superb. I just hope you feel the game warrants the effort!

It is a plants vs. zombies spin-off. An interesting idea that you can move your defenses after placing them, I still did not figure out if I like it. It enables me to have a set of strong defenders and just move them wherever the zombies come most.
Can not say that I particularly loved this game, why not buy the classic plants vs. zombies?
Anyways, issues/bugs I had:
1) Music continued playing once I clicked the main menu button of my phone. The screen went to my desktop but music continued. Check whether music always stop in your onPause.
2) Once I lost a level, the "play again" button does not always work. I pressed it several times before being taken to the menu.
3) I placed two hens one after the other, and there is something wrong with the graphics. The egg from the first hen appeared to fly UNDER the second hen. Sometimes it seemed that it flew above the hen body but under the hen's head.
4) I did not play until the higher levels, but do you have enemies that are not simply stronger zombies? I mean digging, flying, invisible, lane passing, whatever?

Yup. As it's my first project I thought I'd write it in a genre that I personally loved. PvZ itself is a spin off of other tower defence games. I thought I'd try and take the idea further and in different directions.

I have tried to tweak the balance - certainly on the further levels - to require a careful balance between defence/offence/placement/ordering.

I'm sorry it doesn't appeal. Would you be able to make any suggestions that would make it more your type of game? The project is community feedback driven - so I would take all comments very seriously.
As for why not buying PvZ? Firstly, this is a free game and secondly PvZ isn't available for all android phones globally, the Amazon exclusivity has made sure of that. (And thirdly - I can't alter their game! )

There seems to be an intermittent pause occurring on the menu screens when it is synchronizing with the surfaceholder. I'll try and get this resolved for then next release.

This is a 'feature' of the new graphics engine. All of the sprites have reverse y-axis display priority, so that the creeps can walk in front of each other. I could easily take the bullets out and superimpose them instead.

There will be. I had to restructure most of my code between v1.0 and v1.1 so that I can now start putting in more variety in creeps, towers and bullets. The next release will certainly have some.
jrojrojro - many thanks for the feedback and I am sorry it doesn't push all of your buttons. As I mentioned earlier - this is my first venture into android game writing and I am trying my best to give something back to this great community. I appreciate your time and I hope together (collective we) we can put together something great.
Regards,
Paul

Oh OK, for a first game this is great! Anyway I wish you good luck.
Some things:
1) If I play the game, then click the main menu, and then try to start the application again I receive an error and the application closes.
2) There is no way to save the game (or I did not find it?). Whenever I start it I am back to hens-only. Is it because it is a demo version? If so, you should know that not many players will progress beyond a few levels, and therefore you should have some interesting content,enough to convince them to buy, in those first levels.
3) About sprite ordering, here is what I did in my game:
have each game character class (in you case hen, zombie, egg) define a displayPriority function, and store all game characters in a java.util.TreeSet, with a Comparator that compares them by displayPriority. Here is my code:
Code:
private SortedSet<GameCharacter> characters = new TreeSet<GameCharacter>(
new Comparator<GameCharacter>()
{
@Override
public int compare(GameCharacter char1, GameCharacter char2)
{
if (char1.getDisplayPriority() != char2.getDisplayPriority())
{
return char2.getDisplayPriority() - char1.getDisplayPriority();
}
if (char1.equals(char2))
{
return 0;
}
return char2.hashCode() - char1.hashCode();
}
});

I've noticed one little thing. When the several creatures are eating the hay and the first one stops because the hay is gone, the sound of eating stops but there are others still eating.

I was thinking of persisting score/level, so each time you came into the game you started where you had left off. Or do you think something more comprehensive is required?
I've got a number of different creeps/tower/bullet features that I'm going to put in. The last version was largely infrastructure changes in preparation for these.
I think I've been too keen and made the mistake of releasing it at too high a version. I'll know better in the future.

[GAME] MathTap

Introduction
MathTap is an revolutionary, but simple game. It easily is based on subtraction of numbers.
You start with a score of 50 and you have to tap as many tiles, which are placed in a 4 by 4 grid until you get to zero. The tiles could either add the value, displayed on the tile or subtract it, depending on their color.
If you get to zero, the next levels begins, where you have to subtract a greater amount of score.
Sounds simple, but boring. To make it a little more spicy, there is a limit on how many taps you can do. After you reached the end of a level, you get a new bunch of taps.
The game ends when you have no taps left or your score goes negative. Then all your subtracted score is add to get your endscore, which you can use to compete with you friends.

[GAME][2.3+] Bad Tap (fast paced tap game)

I just released a major update to my game, please check it out on the Google Play Store here (free, no ads):
Bad Tap - Google Play
Bad Tap is a fast-paced 'beat the clock' type game that will challenge your hand-eye coordination.
Tap each block before it counts down to zero. Starts with one block and increases as you level up. But watch out, one bad tap and the game is over!

Fun game! I'm trying really hard to unlock the hard level.

Had fun playing around with it for a while. Spotted a bug with the tutorial screen.
If you haven't already seen it, let me know here or in a PM and I can give you more
details if you need them.

Hi Scianthrope, thanks for the comments. Yes, any information on the bug would be very helpful!

Yesss finally got to the hard level. Now I'm trying to beat everyone on your leaderboard!

Very addictive and from time to time challenging game. Good for people that want to break their own limits ^^. Good Job!!
I Thing that if You add some better graphics, maybe something more colorfull it would be better perceived by players xD but it's only my opinion.
