[GAME][3.0+] Peppy's Adventure - Android Apps and Games

Hi all!
Peppy's Adventure is an action puzzle adventure game that I developed on my free time during the last 4 months. I really designed the game like the game I always wanted to play on my phone and tablet.
It's also my first game and as I am currently looking for feedback on every aspect of the game (game design, level design, gameplay, etc.) from as many people as possible, it's completely free.
Please give it a try and comment. Many thanks in advance.

The hardest choice I had to make was the way to control the character (Peppy). I finally choose to do it with double (redundant) D-Pad controllers, what do you think about it ?

i personally like it
it makes for faster runs when you get the hang of it
only problem i had with the game was finding the sound options lol
took me a minute or two to realise there was a > button

Ok, I'm writing "make the options buttons > and < larger" in my TODO file ^^
I'm also thinking about posting walkthrough videos because I have been told that the game is a little too much difficult sometimes (it's something hard to notice when you are the developer I guess).

You're right, hints might be better than a complete walkthrough. I will think about how to do that the best way.. if you have an idea I'm also interested

Don't hesitate to tell me if there is a level you think is too difficult (or too easy)

would you like to have a hint ? (I'm asking before spoiling )
spoiler:
you need to eat the waterlily flower which is at the bottom left first, and the one above it last

You're welcome
I just updated the game:
- removed all permissions needed
- added FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON to keep the device's screen on while the game is active
I will deal with the (<) and (>) buttons in the options tomorrow
Still thinking about a way to integrate hints in the game (maybe where to start and finish but this is not applicable to all levels because there many ways to finish) and also when should the game propose the hints (when the user is stuck on a level for one day for example?)

Hints should be available after a number of failed attempts i think
not sure how to propose the hints as you say
gonna update now!

just thought of a way
draw the path in the level (the path you intended)
not all the way though but just a little to get people started

I agree on the number of failed attempts but not sure about drawing the path (even the beginning of it) it might be tricky because time is also in the equation, on some levels foxes need to be at the right location at the right time. Maybe some checkpoints which fade out with time or something like that could be a way to show path and time
Anyway thank you for the suggestion, it helps me think

Did you manage to reach the second world (with the snow and ice) ?

I'm wondering if I should add some sort of facebook, twitter or google+ integration (even if this is the kind of things I never use in games)
what's your opinion ?

Thank you guys!
I'm currently working on optimizing the game for slower devices. Did anyone experimented low frame rates on their phone/tablet ? if so what is your device ? thanks

Hey guys
I just added 45 new levels
- 30 in an adventure designed for beginners
- 15 in another adventure for hardcore gamers

I uploaded walkthrough videos , they will be accessible from the game pause menu when you try at least 10 times to pass a level without success.
Be sure to update when the next version is up on Google play in the next hours

2D ENGINE ( pics and apk attached )

Hi guys,
Been reading xda for and now guess is my time to post something. For about two month I've been working on a 2d engine and now it is very close to being finished.
Before releasing the engine itself, I wanted to post a demo here to see that you think about its performance, etc.
In demo you can
- throw bombs by pressing and dragging your aim from the red "X".
- pause by pressing the "search" button.
- open menu with the "menu" button, choose timer or impact bombs.
The engine itself extends a SurfaceView, so to start using it, you'll just need to initialize it and setContentView.
Code:
RoboLogicView roboLogicView = new RoboLogicView(this);
setContentView(roboLogicView);
And to add actors, you'll just need to put a PNG drawing, along with an XML file describing its physical parametrs, into the assets folder and add it to the engine with just one line of code.
Code:
Actor tree = roboLogicView.createActor("tree", 13, 19 );
As for speed and performance, a reasonable size "level" give me 35+ FPS on my Nexus S.
Let me know what you think!
P.S.
At first I wanted to call it RoboLogic, but now I see that someone already has something under that name in the appstroe. Maybe you could suggest something better?

Looks really great. I only get 27 frames average on my HTC OneX so there's some place for improvement .
I'm no game-dev for now but i plan to teach my self some of this stuff in the future. Perhaps you or your engine can help

Sure, the engine's gonna be out in about a week, so hurry up.
And nope, there's no place for improvement, it already is squeezing everything it can out of the phone it can be made faster only by having less objects in the scene, yet 27 is pretty good anyway. Anything above 18, i guess, looks smooth.

Yeah it was very smooth so no problem . I would really like to find out how to make a simple game . I've ideas, but i am to stupid to use the most engines ^^
So i've done some simple Plain Java + Android Apps...
Thanks for sharing.
Hi guys,
Made a major update, you see some screens here attached and find the demo at google play, search for "ABox Engine Demo" ( can't post links here ).
Thanks!
Interesting. I will give it a try
Edit: uploaded JAR files, you can get them... can't post a link here. aboxengine[dot][com]

Thanks
Have you played the challenge mode yourself? I'm not that great with math in my head but I think the time limit is way too short. My record is 3.
You should also add game sounds not just music for muting.
To make this game greater, you should divide the game up in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Do that instead of just having all math in one giant progression.

My first ever game built on Android Studio: Simply Maths

Hi all!
I recently created a game on Android Studio. I am a UX Designer, but had recently done a few UX projects on games and enjoyed doing it. I took some time out to do Simply Maths and one other game (Monster Play) with the development help from my developer friends. It might not be a really unique or one of kind games - please don't judge too strictly. It is my very first attempt and any feedback on the UI, features or how to improve it, will be really helpful!
I found out about this forum also through my developer friends, but I had already put up the game on the GPlay through a publisher. But I would really appreciate any feedback and help to improve on the next games. I am unable to post a link or any images. I am also not sure how to attach an apk for you all to review, but you can access the game from GPlay on here:
Simply Maths by Gamifying on GooglePlay
Please leave feedback and reviews, either on this post, or on the Gplay - I will read and reply to each one
As a newbie, I will really appreciate it and am here to learn more and stay!
Kind regards,
Mann

Hiii,
Thank you soo much for taking the time out and reviewing the game. I really appreciate it.
The heart button is meant to take you to the game posting on Google Play Store for rating.
It is working fine for me, but is it broken in anyway for you?
Regards,
Mann
Keep you brain working
this is a nice game and simple game !
The medal button is not working for me too.
Thank you so much everyone for taking the time.
I will have the leaderboard functionality checked - it is odd, because it is working for me.

[GAME][6.0+] Postero Launched

I finally released Postero to production - and even made a promo video (best I could manage!) to hopefully give a better idea of the gameplay.
It's a casual, turn-based gravity battle with multiplayer etc. There's no ads or anything, so please enjoy (or if not, let me know why!)
