[GAME][2.1+] Lexigon 1.1 - FREE Word Game!

Hello Everyone!
I've spent a year writing a cool word search game, and I've just ported it to Android.
My Game is FREE and is in Google Play -
(if I wasn't a noob a link would be here) Google Play - Lexigon
Have a play with the game and let me know what you think!
thanks!
andy
PS: There is some proof that this game was enjoyed as far back as the 15th century, but don't listen to me read on...
( well if I wan't a noob, another amusing link would be here. search for 'LazyBrush', 'Lexigon' and '15th Century' for those will a will)
PPS: Maybe a kindly soul can post these two links in a reply?
PPS: Version 1.1 removes 'Read Contacts' Permission. Thanks for Comments!

I will check the game out..

Cool game! Do you get more points for longer words?

Is there a reason for the app to read contacts?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

Hello again,
Thanks for downloading and for the feeddback!
I use 'Scoreloop' for the online high score and it requires access to contacts. I know it sounds scary but I think that is standard for any online high score server isn't it? (I tried using GREE but it seemed very alpha when I did the port and so didn't compile!)
Yup, longer words more points. Later levels more points. Nice coloured Lexigons more points, blue and green. Bad coloured ones less points, black and red. You can tap to select letters and double tap to submit word, or much faster just slide and release to submit word makes the game very fast.
Glad you all liked it, all I need now is more downloads. I feel like Agent Smith from Matrix....MORE....
Thanks again,
Andy

will try +1 download )
but why strange permissions are required?

I've done a little more digging why Scoreloop require, or should I say, in the integration guide said I needed to include access to contacts.
This article, (I'm still a noob - so URL changed to not be a URL), talks of another developer using scoreloop asking the same question.
http support.scoreloop.com discussions/questions/78-read_contacts-permission-for-android
Seems I can remove the permissions for contacts read without a problem. I will do that promptly.
Thanks again,
Andy

really fun game, thank you! Works perfectly on MM2.

Update
Hi,
So I've update this game without the Read Contacts permission. Game still works fine! Thanks again for trying the game and all the comments!
Have Fun,
andy

Great game, very addictive!
However, the game/server doesn't seem to be logging my scores...
When I start the game, it says my high score is 2800... despite having gone over 50,000 a few times. In fact, I just did 65,000 (? - not sure of the exact score now, since there is no record), it didn't appear on that game server.
How about a game pause/resume option, as well as a highscore chart on the phone itself (by playerID: points & level)?
And while I'm thinking , how about adding a different dictionary? I'd love to play this in Spanish too!
I'd also like to understand how to maximise the score, do the letters have an implicit value like in Scrabble? And how are they multiplied/(divided?) by the different colours? I see that getting a 6 letter word generates a lot of points, so is 6 much better than 5, which in turn is much better than 3, etc?

So, after intensive talking with the developer we will get Xperia Play controls. Don´t know if it´s a seperate version or integrated in the version i´ve bought.
If anyone is interested in this game and wants to improve the experience with this game please email the devs. They are really nice and if you give constructive feedback, they will implement the suggestions you made. :good:

did you stress the importance of touchpads?

@rubbergnome
Yes, i recommended the devs to use the touchpads. The only problem is that they don´t have a Xperia Play for testing purpose. So we must play Beta testers and give them advices when something isn´t working right.:silly: But hey, they do it!

i'm available to beta test anything if it's about optimization hehe. There are links from sony about touchpads anyway. I sent them to the aralon team and the realms of fortune developer. You can find them via XperiaPlayGamer, from the "how to optimize" page to the sony site to the touchpad articles.
by the way, the camera in this game is kinda awful since you just can't control it. It slowly adjusts itself behind the character each time. So heh

Its very bad...
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

So i got a test apk from the dev and i´ve tested the controls. It works good. You use X,Square and Triangle for sword attack. Circle is for a fireball attack. D-pad is used for moving. Left Trigger to run, Right Trigger to sneak.
However, the game does not use touchpads at the moment. I recommended the Zeus developer to the dev for touchpad controls. If anyone is here who wants to help out or has experience with touchpads controls please email the dev! If you want test apk, please also email the dev since i´m not allowed to distribute it. Please give feedback!
Free Camera patch comes this week.Also recommended them to implement the controls, game launcher support, as fast as possible.
@ Gtsito
What is bad exactly?`Please tell. Also email dev since negative feedback can make games better

Hello mate. As I was testing the game and did not like. The simple graphics, design in general and of the enemies is very rough, but if the color is good. The control is very rough, the camera is insane, the gameplay is very simple button mashing and sometimes you miss the enemy, or animations of the attacks are bad. No enemies stop coming all the time and the game lacks depth, and which go somewhere, something more adventurous.
No, that's the impression I gave. Maybe I felt bad but after playing the fabulous Aralon ... hehe. Granted it has a good base and if she could work more on anything good. Anyway it is appreciated that the control pad adapted xperia.
I have read that have improved the camera, so I'll try again to see such. (I uninstalled)
Without wishing to criticize, just to help my honest opinion as a lover of video games. a greeting

I agree with you Gtsito, there is room for improvments. The camera isn´t good and it´s annoying that a lot of enemies spawn at the beginning of a level and after that there aren´t a lot them. Maybe they can improve more.
Also, the developer says that a lot of fixes and optimations will come till saturday. So stay tuned and check Play Store for more updates.

Oh, good news. Actually I played the first version released and uninstalled it knowing that would come out more updates. Then I will consider further improvements and prove it.
Thank you, greetings

P.S. By the way i´m P.G.

testing the real thing
yep it is better now with the gamepad and it responds better than the test version
the test apk had a fireball attack and 3 sword attacks,no fireball or maybe its later on...this one has 4 sword attacks
also the camera is still and doesn't rotate ,or i did not figure how to do it from the game
i like the 4 sword animations and would like to see some kind of chain combo animation with the button layout
sort of RPG Soulcaliber
of course that's just me

The game is all nice and all, but some of my views and suggestions:
1. The picture that we can take from camera. It would be nice if we can snap a picture and then use it instantly for puzzle. Or another way of doing it is to select a picture from gallery. Constantly holding the phone upright isn't feasible for long time.
2. Some latency issue like the lowest right corner tile doesn't seem to move much times.
3. Ads come in the middle of some tiles. So is very disruptive. Maybe you can provide a donate version of the app. Ads on an app at early stage doesn't seem much lucrative.
But otherwise an innovative idea for puzzle.

Thank you for your suggestions I appreciate it. I could make a pro version without the ads and add in a 7x7 puzzle and the still image option to justify the price, I added the ads at the beginning because to be honest ads don't make much revenue as is and even with getting featured on xda it gave me a couple of dollars boost on a single day and then back to cents per day so I didn't have much hopes on getting so many downloads. I am taking it more as a hobby since you cannot really depend on advertisements as an income without spending a respectable amount of money on advertisement campaigns. Plus it is very rare to find an app that does not include ads or iAP and usually these apps are apps like instagram that aim for a big fat paycheck at the end which I don't foresee for this application. Thanks for your feedback!
Edit : I will check the latency of the tile as soon as possible.

Jump. Die. Repeat

So I decided to make a game over the christmas holidays, and over the past two weeks, made a rather simple game, if not incomplete.
I've never made a game before and would like suggestions for features to add to make this game more complete.
Thoughts are also welcome.
There is a full and free version of the app; if you can't stand the adverts and don't want to pay a small amount of 0.50 GBP, then ask me and I'll send you an apk.
Download on Google Play by searching for "Jump.Die.Repeat" - Can't post links yet Sorry
It's quite simple. You jump, you will probably die, and you will have to repeat.
Collect boosts and SloMo anti-boosts(?) to go further in the game.
When in SloMo, you can tilt your device to control your landing better, Matrix style.
Activate the boots by tapping in mid-air.
Easy peasy.

I think this game have potential but you have to work harder. I like the soundtrack! :thumbup:
About the gameplay:
- It is to much slow to me
- The controls aren't very responsive
- I don't get it the boosts and they appear very rarely
- I think that would be nice be able to move the square back
Sorry for my english, I hope you understand. And the link for the game:
