Hi XDA community,
Here I introduce my second game for the Android os. I have very little experience in graphics and such (I'm not artistic at all). However, this is a game that I have done using what I know so, the graphics will probably be a bit bad but the whole experience should hopefully be fun . It still only has 15 levels. If the game gains a lot of positive feedback, I'll plan to release more levels but for now, some testing on the difficulty of the first levels is needed. Thus, if you have time to try a new game and give some feedback on it, I'll be really thankful .
Game Description:
Goldy just ran away from its house in an attempt to find his wife, who has been taken to another continent. Help goldy reach his wife by swimming across the river and escaping all the other fish.
Please post your feedback either here or in the game description in the play store.
at least put your Play Store link
hahaha, I was wondering about what I forgot.... the links!!
here they are:

That sounds amazing. I'll probably contact you for my next project. If you know anyone who can make sound effects and music that would be helpful as well :highfive: I can only program

I won't probably upgrade the game until I finish with another project. I do make these games just for free since I learn a lot by doing it besides it is really fun coming up with a lot of ideas for games. Maybe we can collect a team for the next few projects :highfive:.
So I made this little silly game this past week just for fun. Leaving it here just in case you currently have no idea what to play on your trips to the toilet, haha. Check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rrrgames.greaterthaneleven
It's a simple, yet addictive game about quick-thinking. The goal is simple: you have to avoid all the obstacles by dragging the circle with your finger for at least 11 seconds.
Think you can do it? It's annoyingly challenging.
Feel free to rate the game also, if you wish, hehe. Have fun!

Good game, liked it ...but it is very hard from the first ....
BTW How to do think to boost level of the downloads?
do you find that only adMob monetization method is in place for that game ?

Hey anuloid! Glad you enjoyed it, hehe. Yea it's super hard! But trust me, you get better as you play.
I think I'm currently sitting at around 100 installs to be honest (but the stats aren't updated on Google Play yet so I don't know for sure ).
The only ad in the game in an interstitial that appears every once in a while (I didn't want to annoy the player too much! ). I think it'll be alright in terms of monetization. My main goal here was to release some silly game for fun, not really make a huge buck out of it. ^^
Thanks for your comment!

Turns out, by the way, that the monetization ain't doing so bad either! Even though there's only 1 ad in the game and it only appears every once in a while, people tend to click it very often apparently, probably because in order to RETRY after Game Over you have to press the screen (anywhere) and I suppose people tend to do that very fast, almost by instinct.
Didn't expect this kind of return for a silly game that I did just for fun, hehe. ^^ I guess people are actually playing it!

I find the psychological aspect of the game very useful for monetization purpose. The behavioral peak comes very often in the game and that is the main point I guess to monetize that kind of game (like Flappy bird). I guess you should do your best re marketing aspect. Sure it is possible to make good money from the game, ever though I think eCPM could be low.
Keep eye on eCPM and let me know about the success of the game. It is interesting to learn about my forecasting

Dear rrrgames,
probably this could be a death sentence for your Google account, the eCPM is very high and the account most probably be banned if nothing changed ...

Seriously? Why would they do that though? There's nothing wrong with the game; I implemented the interstitial ad the same way most other games do... and my clicks are coming from all over the world (people in the 5 continents) apparently. It's not like I'm cheating or anything... if they banned me for no reason like that, that would suck. :/

Hah, 5.5 is easy, give it a few more tries!
eCPM is still high as before, apparently.
Yea I hadn't started promoting the game for real yet, seeing as I kind of released it incomplete, and being the only person involved, I had to focus on development instead of marketing, heh. But yea now I'm starting to promote it in many places; let's see how that goes!

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:

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.

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!!

Thank you for advise. I think I will do it, but later, becase I'm focused on multiplayer mode now.
I've recently finished my first game for android and I need opinions from people other than my family and friends, who can only praise me.
SteamCopter is a Super Hexagon, Flappy Bird and Spelunky fusion wanna-be. I've just finished promotional video, so you don't have to(but I highly encourage you to!)play it to check what's it all about.

I've sent you the files through PM, thanks for the help.
Could you tell me what did you mean by strange controls? I wanted it to be hard, but not "hard to play", if it makes any sense.
It's a really nice game if you want to kill some minutes. It's fun to play it and you really want to improve your highscore. In my opinon it's a little bit harder than flappy bird or something like this but everybody who visits this thread should give it a try
At first I had problems with the controls, but that was a failure with my current custom Rom and had nothing to do with the app.
it looks like typical good run/arcade game, but static backgrounds isn't cool. IMHO
Great game ! It is very well done, with attention to details like performance, music, graphics. This is not common in many 2D android games. I heavily recommend trying it !

I'm glad to hear that you liked it. About it being harder than flappy bird... It wasn't my intention, but it can be. It's a little harder to learn, but when you get the grasp of it, mechanics are easy (but still hard to master!). Also, I'm pretty sure, that it can be a lot more rewarding than flappy bird.

Hey there, I tried your game out and I'd like to share my feedback with you.
It took me a few minutes to realize that I could tap the right side of the screen to keep the copter up in the air. Maybe have a little "tutorial" at the beginning explaining the controls? Or some kind of button/visual to show that the right screen is for keeping the copter up.
After a second run, I did noticed your "how to play" button on the menu. Maybe you should display that at the beginning game for first time users.
You don't seem to have back buttons for "how to play" and "high scores". I have to exit the app to get out of it.
I hate to be that guy, but I find the full screen ads a little intrusive for this kind of game. The banner ad on the corner is fine though.
Could be a fun game with a bit more polishing. Mainly with the controls, and the UX. Good luck with your game!

About the back button on howto and highscores screens... There is one, in the left bottom, but it looks like I need to make it more visible.

Oh okay, yeah I must have not seen them. One last thing is try animating some of the UI elements by "tweening". Like, maybe the game over dialog can slide up to the middle of the screen. Things like that will make the game feel more polished. Keep it up!
SteamCopter has just been updated, here's the changelog:
- new back button in menu
- updated German translation
- menu HowTo appearing before first play
- fewer interstitial ads

I found the time to play it, and I was impressed by how the music complimented the art style. It gave your game a nice little aesthetic.
At first It was difficult, but after a few minutes of playing I got a little better.
I was also initially confused about how to play in the different worlds that are shown on the screenshots.
That was until I discovered that you had to collect a certain amount of stars to open the next world.
This actually gave me more incentive to continue getting better.
My only (minor) complaint is the backgrounds. They look great, but they're a bit static.
I couldn't help but feel that I was playng in front of a stage. But again, this is very minor and easy to look past for me.
Overall great game with great production value!
BTW, I love steampunk, so sorry if my review is a bit biased!

What an uplifting post, thanks! I'm really glad that you like it.
I'd really love to do something about backgrounds stillness, but well... it's not entirely dependent on me.
What do you guys think about integrating Google Play Games Services(leaderboards, achievements)?
Reflection
Reflection is a geometry-based puzzle game where the objective is to hit every wall with the ball. As you progress through the levels, new obstacles get in your way.
This game has been in closed beta for the last two months, and the people invited to this beta have helped me get this game ready for full publication. Now that the game is ready, I figured I'd post it here as well since the XDA community has always been very helpful.
If you find anything noteworthy about the game, like a bug or glitch, I'd really appreciate your input.
Here's some screenshots:

NOTE: If you're playing the game and somebody next to you with in iPhone asks if he can play it as well, the game is up on the App Store as well

Thank you for the input! I'll write this down, next update will make the back button functional. I'll see if I can do something about the level menu.
Although I appeal the challenge part, I think some people like the entertaining part and want to get past a game.
Some better and more obvious hints would be nice.
Also making the last level easier than the 5th makes no sense
The back and euro button obstruct some of the levels. See screenshot

To help people get past the game without having to finish each level, you can skip a level and just select the next one. I feel as though adding easier hints would almost feel like cheating and diminish the rewarding feeling you get after completing a level by figuring it out yourself.
In regards to level 5, I might just make the circle a bit smaller, that way it should be easier. It's tough figuring out how hard I have to make levels, since there's a large difference between completiontimes of different people. There's people who think those levels are too hard, and there's people who think it's too easy. If there's more people that share your opinion on level 5, I'll definitely change it. Again, thanks for your input, it helps me improve the game a lot!

Hi! I played all 60 levels yesterday in about an hour. It's a good game but I can't ignore its obvious similarity with Okay?. I'm a big fan of Okay? and the ingenuity of those levels, sound design and physics exceed those of Reflection by a grand margin. Then again, this game is about hitting the same 4 walls each time which is a clever take on this genre but, in my opinion, a bit boring too. There's a bug after donation request. I donated $0 (sorry) and it told me it was the end of the game for now. Only when I tapped twice I could see there are more levels. Just tapping the screen once should reset the level without any ball appearing. Oh and you could monetize the hint system by forcing a video ad when a hint is requested, that's perfectly fine.
Apologies if this posts seems a bit harsh, it's surely not intended that way. In fact, your efforts are much appreciated. All in all you created a pretty cool game that is fully functional and perfectly playable all the way through. Petje af
Game is surprisingly good what's your monetization platform? I have yet to see an ad or a prompt to buy an IAP!
Also any marketing strategies for a fellow developer?

Thank you! I barely make money off of this game, I've only added the option for people to donate if they want to. I feel like adding advertisements would have a negative impact on the game. Especially since it would barely make me any money, since I'm not expecting many people to download the game. Adding advertisements would only be an option once the game gains a lot more downloads.
I don't think I can help you with marketing, I'm not too great at it myself.

Hi! I played all 60 levels yesterday in about an hour. It's a good game but I can't ignore its obvious similarity with Okay?. I'm a big fan of Okay? and the ingenuity of those levels, sound design and physics exceed those of Reflection by a grand margin. Then again, this game is about hitting the same 4 walls each time which is a clever take on this genre but, in my opinion, a bit boring too. There's a bug after donation request.

Thank you very much for your input!
I'm aware of Okay? and know of the similarities between the two games, yet I think Reflection differs from it quite a bit. Obviously that's subjective and I'm sure there's people that agree with you.
I've heard multiple people about the bug after the donation request, I'll fix it in the next update. The update might be a bit delayed though, since I have exams this week.
It is a very addictive semi-original idea and a very smooth gaming experience. The layout is simple and yet attractive. If you don't like geometry and a good brain workout, don't bother downloading the app, it is not a simple "game" like many others.
New update (1.1) will be pushed to the Play Store very soon! I've made some changes based on your input, more will come shortly:
Fixed bug going to the wrong level after the donation menu
Added function to the onscreen back-button
Made earlier levels easier
Reduced the number of times the 'double tap to select level' is shown
Thank you for playing my game!
Very nice!

it's never too late to rise a good game on the forum
Very simple idea. I think you can do something more.
Why is this game not on the Play Store anymore?
