I started playing around with some libraries and came up with an idea for an infinite scroller style game.
The story is still in the works, but the basic idea is to rescue songs from being locked away, something like Fahrenheit 451, by collecting timers to keep the song playing.
It uses songs from the device, and there are in-app purchases to load custom characters and maps. If a song is lost three times, it becomes locked and there is Facebook integration to unlock it. This is done by having someone who won a song by the same artist respond to your request for help. You can also post generic help requests to your wall, or send someone a request without being asked. There are achievements for different things like that, but those are still being added for a general leaderboard.
Overall, it is a ton of different ideas that are turning into a game. The custom character and custom maps options are fully working. I will add tutorials for how to make the images if anyone is interested before I get a site together for it.
The game is free on Google Play and has a beta testing option, and new updates are being released almost daily.

All the functionality for the basic game is now present. The next step is to add tiers to levels so you aren't always running on the ground. There is only one map, but more are in the works.
All the Facebook stuff works, and scoring is complete. A lot was done to speed up loading as well. Loading custom maps and players now have fancy selection menus.

nice !! thanks for sharing
The next major update is not far off. It will include floating layers to jump onto, custom maps will support loading a custom physics object similar to what will be available in the default maps, and items will respond more like their visual shapes. Running and jumping have been improved. The timers are less lagged. A loading screen will now show while resources are loaded. Better menus are coming next, along with more extensive levels.

I must have missed the notification for your donation because those look a lot more like demands than requests.
Edit: On a more serious note, those will come after the game functionality is fully established. I will be starting a kickstarter project to fund graphics and level design. Right now they are all homemade drafts.

The icons will be updated for that next release. The previous icon is now a placeholder in the menus and the new icon is more colorful.
I am working on more interesting levels but I can't seem to decide on how I want it to look. I was going for a city type but nothing is quite falling into place yet.
The tutorials for loading custom maps and avatars are on the way. At least then it will open those up for not being limited by my current versions.

Version 2.0 was released. Using the main menu will allow turning off the parallax (infinite scroll) option to use actual maps. Maps contain tiers that can be jumped onto and joystick controls instead of buttons.
The base functionality is now mostly complete and levels are being designed. Graphics and improved menus are coming next.

good
I may have gone a little overkill on customization options. The game now supports tablets and the display was tweaked to fit everything better. With that working, there are now selectable coin designs to fit custom maps. When you select a map, you can also select a physics file for your "tier". The box that will appear allows you to set the x, y, height, and width of the tier from your map sheet for the physics to reference.
The map sheet image and map must be in the same place, or at least the same top-level directory. This means if your map is "sdcard/mymap.tmx" there should be either a "sdcard/mymapimage.png" or "sdcard/subdirectory_set_by_tmx/mymapimage.png" with it. The physics xml file can be in another location with another name and still work. The game will pull your map image automatically when the map is selected based on the file names in the tmx. This may be changeable in the future but that requires even heavier editing of the game engine, so it's a small price to pay.

I started a Google+ community for beta testing. This will open up availability to test new versions before they roll out to the public. Hopefully this will help to get more precise feedback on what improvements people would like to see before the new versions of the game are published.

The game is undergoing a slight rebuild. Gameplay will not require collecting the coins to keep the music going. This placed a limit on where coins could be placed and made first time play relatively short. It also caused unnecessary breaks in the song. Instead there will be a goal to reach before the song ends.
With this change, I can now support multi-directional running, including levels that now contain much higher ceilings. This will expand the world greatly. This update is currently in progress and the betas should roll out shortly.

The next version is being designed with augmented reality levels. The game engine doesn't support this functionality so it's currently being designed for this game. That should put a new twist on things and help overcome background shortcomings for now.
The levels also include random placement on the map to reduce repetition when the map isn't changed. Most songs will come nowhere near using the entire map. The base map is equivalent to roughly 20 minutes of consecutive play.

Hi Folks!
This is my first app on the Google Play Store:
GTI aka Guess The Image is a beautifully designed puzzle game for smartphones and tablets. In GTI, you're shown a beautiful photo which may be a scenery, transport vehicle, celebrity, cartoon, brand..etc. Once the picture appears on your screen, you've to think what the image is and describe it in 1 or 2 words. If you guess 1 word correct, you'll will earn 1 point, 2 correct words will earn you 3 points. You should enter your answer in the textbox that appears to the left of submit button. If you are finding it hard to describe or guess the picture then you can view the hint associated with the image by clicking the question mark button. There's a time limit of 100s for the first image. If you guessed the 1st photo correct with some seconds to spare, 30 seconds would be added to the spared seconds and you'll have to guess the next image within the spared seconds + 30 seconds time period. There are more than 100 images to guess, hence there's a lot of thinking to be done. GTI is best played with family and friends together. Scores are saved online and this puzzle game requires Internet connection. Make sure that you've activated internet plan on your smartphone or tablet before running this app.
Note: Navigation Menu can be accessed by pressing the menu button on your phone/tablet or through the drop down list in the app itself.

[APP][5.0+] One Piece Wallpapers. Application for all fans of anime/manga "One Piece"
I am huge One Piece fan. IRL I'm currently working as back-end Java developer. I decided to expand my skills and learn Android development. When I started, I already knew that my first application will be about One Piece, because I really wanted to somehow contribute to community of this amazing manga series. 2 days ago I finally published it. It is a "mobile wallpaper gallery" application. Functionality is same as in similar apps: scroll through thousands of wallpapers, find what you like, download/set as wallpaper/share with your friends/add to favorites. But that wasn't enough for me, so I created more advanced features.
1. Strongest part of this app - Categories. I spent a lot of time creating this system. This system makes it very easy to find wallpapers with specific character. Every character has its own category (currently not all characters are implemented). And inside that category there are only wallpapers that are related to chosen character. For example if you open "Monkey D. Luffy" category:
You will only see wallpapers with Luffy on them (solo or with other characters).
You can also also press "Solo" button inside category and then you will see wallpapers where Luffy is without any other characters.
In the future even more filtering features will be added. It will be possible to filter by more than 1 character. For example if you enter "Luffy+Sabo+Ace", you will see wallpapers with Luffy, Sabo and Ace on them (together, without any other characters).
2. Completely free. Has ads in it for small profit. No annoying 15-30 seconds long ads. You can manually watch them to support developer.
3. Fully One Piece related. No characters from other anime.
4. Currently there are already 1200+ wallpapers. All of them are stored on my server. This means that you don't need to update application to see new content.
5. All preview pictures (those that are not fullscreen) are compressed to 5-15% of original file size. It means that all preview pictures will load really fast and won't use much internet data.
To-do for near future:
More content. New wallpapers, new characters in category (Reiju/Caesar/Bepo are ready, but not yet in app).
More features. Advanced filtering, "Set as lock screen" feature, more navigation (sorting).
Design improvements?
Add some basic stuff that people can view without internet connection.
Support for VERY big/small screens.
