Hi everyone !
I would like to share the development of my new game, Ultima Ball. Basically, it is a challenging, fun and addictive retro-style arcade game!

Gameplay:
Two game modes are available (control the ball with your finger or your phone's accelerometer). Your goal is to avoid all the small dots surrounding you and popping out from the borders of your screen. The more you last, the more points you earn. The dots become more numerous each level, and become also faster! Each four levels, the background of the game changes (6 available ). You will also be faced to challenging gravity levels!
To help you in your quest, one of the many bonuses available: Vanish bonus, Shield bonus, Tiny bonus, Reduce bonus and Slow bonus! Also, try getting bonus Stars, each star providing an extra amount of points, depending on the colour of the star.
A local highscore system will let you keep track of your best scores. The game also features global leaderboards, and 15 achievements to unlock.
The game also features enjoyable music and sound effects!

No, the timer is triggered when you press any button, so as not to roll to the finish.
Maybe add support for ghost? (best time/previous ride) To see on which sections you can do better. And some flex for the bike.
Simple yet fun!
Big update version 1.3:
- Completely reworked physics
- Fixed a bug in the world of "Extra"
- Changed the level of "Madness"
New version 1.4:
- Dynamic level loading (you can draw a big level)
- Displaying the name level in the game
- In editor can be seen that the grid is enabled
- Fixed other minor bugs
To test the dynamic loading suggest that you test the level: Airport
Is it even possible to complete the level Drudor 2?

Add Game Draw Rider +:

v 1.5:
- New physics front suspension
- Moved Extra Levels
- The game is optimized, removed memory leaks
- Showing the number of medals
- Fix bugs
- Added game Draw Rider +
- More levels are coming soon
bmx4lfe, we will make video.
What would you want to see in new versions?
V1.5 seems to have fixed everything. Maybe it would be better if the bike was skinned to be a motorcycle instead so it would fit the physics, just a thought.

Yes it is because I'm in the level after it.
I can't really give any tips except keep trying. I know that probably isn't very helpful, but that's all I did and eventually I done it. It took the piss though

And a message to the OP. Great game pal. It's a good little game to play to pass a bit of time and even though some levels can be frustrating, I'd rather have a game where I struggle on certain parts of it, than have a game where it's too easy and completed within an hour.
It reminds me of a game I once seen on the internet ages ago. I believe it was on miniclip. Is that where you got this idea from?

We're now thinking of how hints should look like and plan to incorporate them in further updates. We'd avoid just showing off immediate solutions as it will kill the intrigue - although we feel that a hint system is a must in future versions.

We like Khet concept but it is multiplayer which is totally different from what we have now. So, we'll think about it but won't promise anything on that...

I'll download it and give it a shot today, will let you know what I think
---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------
Ok, I tried it out, when I clicked on the help button I couldn't go back unless I closed the app, my phone doesn't have a return button.
A few suggestions:
- Incorporate more animation, make it flashy and colourful like Candy Crush, people love that
- more sound effects, play a sound when a puzzle is completed successfully
- the grey background seems sleek but for a game I would make it more colourful.
Those are my 2 cents but overall a good idea.
nice game

Well, we wish we had 1 million downloads
Actually, a thousand downloads gained for one week is just a combination of two factors: good score (4.7 of 5 in Google Play) which represents several subfactors inthere, and some marketing.
Good score's subfactors are the following: easy gameplay + good design + no serious bugs. We spent days discussing lots of design options from menu or laser pictures to pop-up windows, we did it days and nights. We also tried to make the gameplay easier and design more minimalistic as much as possible - to get people easier understand of what is required to pass the level in a game. I think we succeeded in all mentioned above - I see it through the feedback and Google Play scores. We probably still lack some introductory video, though.
The marketing process could be better - still we excuse ourselves as are doing that for the first time. We avoided paid promotion and thought that self promotion would generate 5+ thousands of downloads. Now it looks like a dream - most websites reasonably limit self-promotions, so we only had a good download flow from d3.ru (Russian version of reddit.com) and from alternative Chinese markets (now Chinese users are 25% of overall downloads).
Chinese market is a separate story. We failed to register in Chinese markets ourselves - we missed Chinese local phone number. Still, several days later we were surprised to see the app in several Chinese markets being presented and translated - probably our app leaked there through other alternative markets like Slide.Me or some others where we placed the apk as well.
So, our conclusion (obviously biased as is basing on one game only) is that if you don't invest any money or your social network (limited in our case) in marketing then your app will get several thousand downloads only. The chance of your app being noticed by a well-known blogger or developer who will recommend it to other is quite small (still non-zero one) - and our expectations on that evaporate every day, to be honest. Other things (like a good score or no bugs) may just ensure you one-two thousand downloads, but you are likely to miss the success story of other last-year minimalistic puzzles like 2048 or Game About Squares - despite the game itself could be very good (like ours ^).

Thanks! This is interesting. Although, we understand that doing well for yourself is slightly easier with racing/arcade games as they create faster addiction if compared to puzzle games where you need more time to dive in the rules, gameplay etc.
Nevertheless, the link is helpful - we'll think next time about creating a game with higher action element.
Beautiful game!

Glad you like the game. It took quite a long time to get the mechanics right, and compared to many other runners in the Play Store, we're quite pleased with the result.
Yeah the controls are brilliant
It's the type of game to do the brain wash after hard work, if you know what I mean . Thanks for the nice game !
Gone back to my youth in the 80's. Good work!
Two points:
- I don't find any difference between 'High graphics' and 'Low graphics'
- Once it has crashed.

Difference between High and Low Graphics is mostly visible on devices with large screens with high densities (for instance the Nexus 6). Thanks for your feedback. ^^
Nice game, keep up the good work!

Good game. Downloading.
good game
Great work! That's a really nice game, and the graphics are awesome!
Did you use a library like libGDX for this game?
I have some suggestions that could improve your game:
- I think you should add a short animation (like an explosion for example) when an enemy dies instead of just making them disappear all of sudden.
- In my opinion, the cooldown of the gun is too slow, and once you have killed 3-4 enemies, you have to wait really too long to be able to fire a burst to kill another enemy, it's like a 10 second wait or so. So one solution that could be fun is to add a shop, in the menu screen, where you could buy upgrades with the points you earn by playing. In the shop, you could buy upgrades like "Reduced cooldown time", "Extended health bar", "more powerful weapon"....
Keep the good work!
Thanks for you comments Achint Jain and mrgfs, glad you like the game.

I'm grateful for this detailed feedback! I'll take your good ideas into account and I will try to implement them in the game in a future update. And yes, I used the libGDX library for this game, with a few workarounds to also port it on Android Wear (Moto 360 for instance).

Unsure is a unique 2D game full of mysteries and challenges. You play as a rolling circle, help him find the lost colors through the dark interesting, unclear and deceptive world.
You play as a rolling circle with a long trail that has lost its colors, your goal is to collect each of the four colors before exiting each level. And to do this, you must navigate through levels filled with various platforms and obstacles like spikes and blades. No you cant see the levels, you just have one light to figure out what you have to do next, and whenever you're stuck just shake your phone horizontally to get some help. To move around, you’re given two directional keys on the bottom left of your screen and you can touch anywhere on the right side of the screen to jump. You’re able to double-jump in order to reach hard to reach places and also climb walls, a skill which quickly becomes vital in the game.
The game itself features beautifully minimal graphics, and becomes a rather beautiful lights and shadows in later levels. The free version is functional and allows you to play all 30 levels, but includes interstitial ads every three levels.
*FULL BRIGHTNESS IS RECOMMENDED WHILE PLAYING THIS GAME*
BEWARE THERE MAY BE SOMEONE FOLLOWING YOU IN THE DARK.
== MINIMALIST ==
The graphics are just simple shapes. Darkness is the theme and all you have is one light. Move around the thoughtfully designed 2D levels based on the shadows and illusions and make your way to the end.
== EASY TO MASTER ==
Just move left and right and jump at correct places, that is all you need to get through the levels.
== PUZZLES ==
You never know where to go, your only help is a single light and well shake the device if you are stuck for some magical additional help.
== DIFFICULTY ==
The game is easy as well as difficult. Depends on how you play it.
== CHALLENGING ==
Interesting puzzle filled platformer with thrown at you out of no where, be careful of the blades and there may be someone following you always.
== LEVEL DESIGN ==
30 levels plus more coming in every update. The levels are different, exceptional and full of illusions.
== Other Features ==
- Optimized for tablets.
- 30 different indulging levels, that become harder and harder.
- Puzzle, platformer and dark shadow illusion mechanics combined into unique gameplay style.
- So many challenges to play through.
- Unobtrusive ads from respected source
- Simple game play and low space and CPU requirement.
NOTE: There are lots of Android devices out there with varying capabilities. If you have an older phone, there might be fps drops because the shadows are rendered with calculations on every frame. The game is dark, so turn the brightness up to maximum for best experience.

Thanks for trying anyways, any suggestions?
Realy nice !
Great job ! This game is well done, but it's more complicated as it seems...

Nice graphics and light/shadow!
Good idea
Idea is really interesting.
You'll surely get 5 on GooglePlay from me
Thanks
Pretty cool. I don't think the game needs anything more in terms of graphics. I think the simple style really suits the game. I found the ads a little too frequent. Maybe 20 ads for the 10 minutes I played but the levels are just long enough that the ads aren't too annoying. I really like the trail that the colours leave behind, nice touch there. I found the first 7 or 8 levels to be a little too easy but once the spikes and blades start appearing, it gets to a satisfying level of toughness. I'm glad I stuck with it for the first 15 levels anyway but I feel like you might lose out on a fair few customers who might play the first 3 or 4 levels and not really see where the challenge lies. Fun game though, keep up the good work.
