[GAME][2.2+] Frenzy Fugu Fish free action/casual game

Hi,
I am independent Android game designer and developer and few weeks ago I released my first game project Frenzy Fugu Fish after 6 months of fulltime effort. Game was already reviewed on few sites and got 4.5/5, 10/10 and similar ratings (so I am pretty proud). I would be happy to get feedback on this forum from gameplay and also from designer/developer point of view.
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.frenzyfugu.frenzyfugu
Screenshots are below.
Frenzy Fugu is casual fish game with 45 levels in 3 sets, each set with unique graphics design of the environment and introducing new game elements. Game will receive new set of 15 levels each month.
By tilting the phone you control Fugu, the Puffer Fish and have to collect all pearls in the level within a given time limit. If you finish the level below the time limit, you get one star for each 20 seconds (up to 3 stars). Just finishing the level is not complicated, challenge is to finish it and get 3 stars.
Over the time you will meet various enemies and obstacles. There are various fish, stone fish, jellyfish, anemones, starfish, bubbles etc. Some are just obstacles some will try to eat you. In some levels you can collect pufferpoison powerup to inflate as all puffer fish do and are invincible for short period of time and even can eat smaller fish. First few levels are very easy ones to get used to control the fish and principles of the game.

The game is free with placed ads. The ads are not shown during the gameplay.
Game was developed using great free framework Andengine, I recommend it to everyone. Currently Zynga is using it for new projects.

Just played for 20 min or so...
Good and Fyn game!

Great, I hope you downloaded version 1.0.3 I released this evening. There are small "clocks" on pearls to make the gameplay more tactical

Here is short gameplay video created by reviewer. I need to create my own next week, as camera cannot be used for this because of tilting the phone, I have to use video cable to HW recorder.

Nice work
Wow the graphics looks incredible! I managed to get to level 10 in first levels and level 5 in next set )) Is there any way how to publish my score to net, like Openfeint or similar?
I would also suggest to improve help a bit, for example slowly introduce info on new game elements like Angry Birds did with introducing their birds.
Apart from that, perfect game, congratz.
T.

Thanks, nothing is good for my ego than liking my game )))
Yes, I am planning to add there OpenFeint or ScoreLop or other service, makes sense, but I was focusing now on finishing last updates to gameplay based on user feedback.
Hmm, HELP. Yes, maybe you are right, there is only one helpscreen that shows up before playing first level and then only after you click the icon Help. Need to think about it, as you can choose to play different sets of levels since beginning. I got feedback that most of the users just skip the initial help screen and go directly for game. Need to think about it, but thanks for feedback!
Any other end user advice? As the game is only getting the mommentum there are possible changes to gameplay

Good and Fun Game
Thx.

@fredrikk: level set 4 in progress, part of current update available on market, use standard unlock Official release in 2 weeks. Version for reviews with unlocked levels available too, use standard link, 01_004_unlocked.

Here is one bug
When I switched off sound and vibration almost at the same time the sound did not stop and it was not possible to switch it off even after I ended the app. It happened to me only once and when I did tapped sound and vibration immediately one after another.
This happened to me with few more games like Where is my water and one other (do not remember which one).
So not a big problem, but you should know about it.
T.

Yeah, thanks. I am aware of that bug but I am not able to resolve it. It happens occassionaly, the game is not able to switch off sound. Really rare, still I hope to find a solution. Happens to me with more games too. Thanks again for report.

What framework was used for development? Graphics is really cool I like the waterworld. I working on small game too, decided to go with Andengine.

cool game
cool game, playing it since yesterday, perfekt graphic

Yup, AndEngine. Pretty cool framework, without that one, it would far harder to make a game. It is pretty stable too. I used older version, from march/april 2011, now there is out GLES2, need to play with that one a bit to get familiar with. Probably new game will be done with GLES2.

i hope i will make such game someday, will check the andegine

Ragequit because the pearls kept closing.
10/10

Oh my ))
Imagine now, that the afternoon before first release I finished all 45 levels twice for 3 stars all of them, just to proper test the game But of course, after the 6 months of development I had the perfect experience in controlling the fish
But with the small clock on pearls in latest release I think it should be far easier.
10/10? Rating?

Nice one
its a nice one u got here...
really cool graphics....

Finished all levels. But by far not for 3 stars, som levels are damn haaaaaaard! Addictive, but maybe I am too old for that, my daughter beats me in most levels :-D

Congrats with release! Game looks very polished and works great on milestone 2.

not sure why its not installedon mk16I

Good news everyone, (Voice of Professor Farnsworth)
I'm not sure if anybody around here remembers me, but I've been involved in this community as a developer releasing helpful things, back when xda-developers was actually about xdas Things like the romkoch, the nbh tool, the famous wm6 premium rom and more.
However, in the meantime I've joined a great company called "drahtwerk" and we're developing awesome games and apps. I thought maybe you guys could check out our latest release (it's free) and of course it would be great if you'd support the cause by rating it in the store and sharing it with your friends and family.
EDIT: oh yeah, talking about senior. join date 04/2004 nearly ten years!

Thanks guys, let me know what you think of the game. It's running our own engine and we're still having some incompatibility with certain devices. We've heard of Tegra GPUs not being able to run the game. If the game doesn't launch or crashes please send me a crash report.

Hey dutty!
I recently downloaded Airbag Frank 3D on my GNEX and I absolutely LOVE it!
It's amazing fun and challenging! Runs perfectly smooth too!
I'm about to support you and the company by purchasing the gold version.
Is it possible to transfer my progress to the gold version? Or do I have to begin all over again?
It's not that big of a deal if you can't transfer the progress because I can get it back easily
Amazing game once more and I look forward to any new releases and possible updates for Airbag Frank 3D

Those are awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words everybody In the meantime we've release several updates that improve compatibility and performance. So if it didn't work before, it's time to try it again.
BTW; Airbag Frank 3D was rated best game of july by AndroidPolice and several other news outlets. If you've got a mac, it's currently featured in the Mac App Store
We're already working on several new things!

DuttyThroy? Is that really you? Long time no see my friend.

Welcome back Dutty:good:

Very cool game. Played it for a while. Seems to be luck whether you make it 90ft or 3000ft. Perhaps you should have goal lines and a set amount of powerups to use to get to the goal... like 3 jumps or a combination of different devices/summons (animals?)
Pretty fun though. My boy really got a good laugh playing.

Loving the Game but is there support for more 3D glasses? As I have no Red/Cyan 3D glasses but loads of Colourcode 3D ones (Yellow/Blue)?

Sometimes Dollar Tree has hard-framed red/blue 3D glasses on one of the little islands near the registers. If you have this game and live near a Dollar Tree, might be worth checking. I picked up a couple pairs last time I was there, so I'm off to download this right now and get some 3D action.
Edit: works great, thanks!

Tried the game, I like it but i saw a little bug. I am running CM9 on my SGS3 if that would help. Looks like the the game fits the screen when I am playing, but not in scoreboard and shop.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fokbue23ugdwyi0/2012-08-21 18.30.36.png

I tried to play it on both my Epic 4G Touch (TouchWiz Roms as well as CM9) but regardless of the rom I use, it just crashes while trying to load. Same happens on my TF101 running on CM9 official.

Tried it on my HTC EVO 3D and the game is very smooth even on very high graphic settings.
Only bug I found is that the game doesn't always fit on the screen.
Also it would be nice if the game would support stereoscopic screen of EVO 3D.

Playing it on my gs3. Great game so far but still needs some work. I saw the screen size issue posted above but also the game crashes when I pick up a cupcake. Looking forward to improvements.

I love the game on my one x. Whats the name of the theme tune?

First of all, great game. I've played some games like this on the PC, and this is fun on my Sprint Galaxy S III. I "beat" (bought everything) it in a few hours on and off with a bit of "cheating" at the end.
Among the things I liked about it (this is not a complete list)
The graphics were very smooth and very nice.
I liked the sounds when you hit things.
Having to buy "power ups" gave it a nice goal to look forward to.
I liked that the red 5x coins were at the top, made me try and stay at the top more often.
The "Re-entry burn" is a nice touch. I wonder if that could be an achievement: "Hottest reentry" could be the farthest dropped before hitting anything.
Game play was simple, no complex controls.
Having a "Pause" button is really helpful.
I found a few issues with it...
Sometimes you can hit the "Play" button twice after a level. I found if I hold down play, then quickly lift up and press again, I get the double play. When this happens, the game freezes and you have to kill it.
If the phone goes to sleep, or you turn the phone off, the game freezes.
I had a difficulty getting more than 5,000F in one level, and quite often, I would get much less. I would always hit the green jello, and the level is over. The problem I have with this is that the bomb you can "buy" is 5,000F, so I found it's not really worth it to get. I would be fine without the green jello, but since you can replenish your fruit, the game would potentially last forever. I suggest lowering how many of them there are, or having the bomb cost less, or, if you shoot with 10 watermelon, you could get out of the jello, or something different. It was just annoying to hit it so often. I did like the cupcake, and that helped, but it still was annoying to get hit by the jello when small.
It's nice that you get a launch bonus, but I found if I want to rack up my money, I start a level, then lightly launch it so it doesn't go far, and I get about 1,000F, and it doesn't take long. Yeah, it's cheating, but I wanted to see what all the power ups were, and I didn't have a whole lot of time. I would suggest have a lower launch bonus, and a higher bonus for hitting things. I found it annoying that I could launch and go a bit and not get much more than if I just flubbed the launch.
I would also suggest a distance counter on the screen, and a height counter as well. I could only judge how far I went by the score, but I had to wait till the end to see how far I really went.
You could possibly add a "Child" setting that had double or triple the things that you could hit (less green jello too). The scoring could be less too, but I could see a child getting more fun out of just watching and shooting fruit every once in a while. Instead of a child setting, maybe have the amount of certain items be sliders so you could choose how difficult it would be with some templates for "Child", "Extreme", etc.
I may have missed it, but I didn't see anywhere where you could see your achievements unless you were signed into Feint. I don't do that, so I don't know what any of them are, or what my high score/highest altitude/longest distance are.
Again, thanks for a great game. I hope my feedback helps

Loved the game!! My highest score so far:

Thanks for the great feedback! knyque, thanks for the detailed post - the idea about cheating by just starting new games to rack up money is true. We'll fix that.
Unfortunately we haven't been able to release the latest update yet, but it's nearly finished. It contains a new monster the "psycho penguin" some cool new items like the magic donut and much more. We hope to have it out before christmas but things are so hectic right now I can't make a promise on that.
We've also just released our latest game called Aeon Beam, it's a visually stunning brain teaser: check it out Aeon Beam @ xda-dev

I love this game. I have been playing on my Nexus 7 for days now. Keep it up!

[GAME][4.0+] Penguin Fun and SHAPE.

Hi, my name is Rafael. My Fantasy name on Google Play Store is Ahsen. I'm a beginner at developing games and I've finished my first game about a month ago. But just now I realized, due to lack of people downloading my game, that it's really difficult to promote. Since then, I've been wondering if my game is that bad, or if it just need more promoting action. So that's why i'm here asking you to try the game and give me more feedback, also, if possible, helping me to promote the game.
I have two games right now, one that I've made 1 month ago and the second one, which is a smaller game with a minimalist approach, done in less than 24 hours and published yesterday.
The first one: Penguin Fun

In Penguin Fun you slide through an endless map getting as much fishes as you can. You must avoid different kinds of obstacles and decide which fish worth getting. If you get too greedy, you certainly will come across with an obstacle.
Features:
Google Play games Leaderboards support.
Google Play games Achievements support.
In-game Cosmetic Rewards linked to the Achievements.
11 rewards to unlock and the option to choose 2 of them in the same time, alowing you to customize your character.
Bonuses and power-ups randomly generated (Currently: Fishes 2x and infinity jump. More Soon)
Three difficulty levels: Normal mode, Hard mode and Entremely hard mode.
Different scenarios to play with.
Play settings: here you choose which scenario you want to play and difficulty.
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Ahsen.PenguinFun
The second one: SHAPE
SHAPE is a minimalist game that I've made for fun and to fulfil my will of creating games while I don't have much time to work on my next and more ambitious title that will take a lot more time to complete.
In SHAPE, you control a cube and you must stay in the white area. Each ring that you reach, you earn one point
Features:
Nice and clean interface.
Good music and sounds.
Leaderboards.
Straight foward for fast and casual fun.
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Ahsen.SHAPE
I appreciate any feedback and help. Thank you.

Any feedback?

Anyone? :/

*Bump*

I have tested both games and both are fun to play!
Comments on Penguin Fun:
- what I really don't like is that you (as the developer) occupy the first place in the leaderboards, this just doesn't feel fair to the players
- the ads are popping up a bit too often imho, and I doubt that you get any money from them as long as the number of downloads is very low, maybe you should just wait with adding ads until you have (much) more downloads?
- I think the penguin should fart randomly from time to time, also giving him a little speed boost
Comments on Shape:
- you were occupying (again) the first place in the leaderboards ... but! I have beaten your score! Eat that, sucker!
- in general, I have the feeling that the difficulty increases too slowly, maybe you can add some different mechanics (making the game harder) each 50 points?
- achievements would also be nice here
Regarding the "marketing" part: The best source of downloads for unknown developers are third party reviews on websites. Until that: spread the word to everyone you know, make use of social networks, forums, facebook groups, and twitter

-I'm in there because I do play a lot to test the game.
-Well, the way it is implemented right now, it doesn't stop you from playing the game and the interstitial only appears every 2 games, which can take a lot depending on your performance, and the banner only appears on the start screen, which is rare because you don't come back all teh time and doesn't really affect any aspect of the game as well . Could you point any negative effect that I could missing?
-Speed boost would actually increase the difficulty because you'd have less time to react and avoid obstacles. Speeding up the whole game or just the characer would have the same negative effect. This is set by design. I don't know if you played enought to get any boost, but there are two currently: Fish 2x and infinity jump for a short duration.
SHAPE
-The same. ^^
-I agree with you and I was already working on it and should be avaiable tomorrow
-Achievements will be added tomorrow too.
The marketing part is something that I really don't like . For now I posted here and in scirra's forum.
It's frustrating to see your hard work falling into oblivion.

I mean regarding to the gameplay. Ads, some people like, many hate them. Liking or not, many of the great apps or other products was discovered by an Ads.
That's true. Too many apps out there. Good luck for us :good:
Btw, I'm adding some cool stuffs to SHAPE that will improve a lot the gameplay.

*bump*
Looking for feedback.

Guys, any feedback is appreciated. :highfive:
and next update will be avaiable in less than 4 hours.

SHAPE was updated.
Penguin Fun will be updated with the last difficulty tomorrow!

Only one cool guy gave me some feedback after two pages. That's amazing... I'll stop bothering people doing my last post here. Thanks.

Thanks for Your reply! We are developing new game modes and bonuses. I hope this will make the game more addictive.

I liked the game. The original idea of a hammer to beat the cockroaches. Even the cat helps to play. It is interesting to know what are the bonuses? I understand that they can be bought in the store?

Hi! I just tried your game.
I really love the visuals. Did you do the graphics by yourself?
Also congrats on the huge number of positive reviews. I'm interested in how you got so many people to review your game so quickly as It usually takes a pretty long time for me.
Now, two things I noticed that you might want to take a look at.
First, the top banner in the main menu is unusually small on my M8. Like really really small.
And the game lags a lot. It freezes for a second every two or three hits and that makes it unplayable.
Cheers!

Hi xantgames!
Thanks for Your reply!
Graphics was made by my wife. She is game designer and she very glad to hear such reviews Thanks!
I think, huge number of reviews is related to banner advertising campaign and asking users to write a review. But actually I'm also surprised by the number of reviews.
Top banner in main menu is not full wide to not overlay Google Play Games Log In / Out button. Maybe this is not the best layout...
Sometimes lags in the game are related to LeadBolt banner (it happened to me on some other devices). I just replaced it with RevMob banner. But I don't have M8 device. I would be very grateful if you would have tested the speed of the game again.
Cheers!

Hi apprising!
I tried your game again, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be any better. For what it's worth, I also tried it on a Nexus 7 (2012) where it seems to behave the same way.
I made a short video so you can see by yourself. If you look close enough you'll see the touch recordings.
Cheers!

Cool game and good quality graphics.
I read previous post and you said about advertising company. It would be nice if you tell about this more details. Which company did you use for that and how long? How much was the budget of advertising big or small? Is the advertising price back to you or you are still in minus? Thanks much for the answers.

Thanks, TOEgameStudio!
I'm beginner in this. So I think You should not listen to my advice. I tried the next:
- Banner Ads on AppBrain ($500 in 5 days; about $100 per day). They take the money for installs. You can change cost per install starting from $0.20
- Posting to free and paid groups in social networks
- Also I used to ispreadnews.com to send review requests to bloggers. Now I'm waiting for answers from them.
So advertisement budget is small ($1000 - $1500) and it is still in minus.
Now I'm trying new ways game promotion.

cool app for beetle-haters)

I'm beginner in this. So I think You should not listen to my advice. I tried the next:
- Banner Ads on AppBrain ($500 in 5 days; about $100 per day). They take the money for installs. You can change cost per install starting from $0.20
- Posting to free and paid groups in social networks
- Also I used to ispreadnews.com to send review requests to bloggers. Now I'm waiting for answers from them.
So advertisement budget is small ($1000 - $1500) and it is still in minus.
Now I'm trying new ways game promotion.

Thank you! Same to you!

tried the game, very cute graphics

Fantastic! =) I love this game!!!

Install the update. After the upgrade, the game has become even more interesting. I think this is the best game in its genre. Bonuses make the game more addictive. Add more bonuses. Will you continue to develop the game? Excellent work.:good:

Thanks AlexanderKrupenkov! We are thinking now about it. Some scenario mode, achievements, etc.

[GAME][4.1+] Cube TD

Hello everybody. It's been a long time since I registered here.
I created a game more than 4 years ago that was terrible, but it helped me to get a job, so at the end it was a good deal.
Now I am back with a new personal project that I am doing in my spare time. I started it in 2016 aiming to finish it in few months... Last Sunday I uploaded it to the store, but it is far away from being finished.
It is a turret/tower (I say turret because of Starcraft maps) defense game, where you can place the turrets in the map making a path for the enemies. I haven't seen many of them on the store, thats why I wanted to create one.
My first attempt was to work with a workmate who would do the 3D, but it didn't work.
Then I thought I could learn some blender and do it myself, but I finally asume that I didn't have the time for everything.
I though about buying some assets in the Unity Store, but I wanted original and personal graphics.
So finally I decided to do my models... With Unity primitives. Every enemy and every tower of the game are made from scaled cubes. And I am not totally discontent with the result. The batching is pretty good and I was able to use realtime shadows, that improved the look a lot. The bad thing about this is that there are many GameObjects in the scene and can affect the performance, something that would be fixed with a single mesh.
I also wanted control about the pathfinding. I did it myself and I think it is fast and works correctly. I gave the enemies an small chance to choose the wrong way and some friends have reported me that it looks like there has been a bug in the AI of the enemy. I might have to think about that. If you could give me some feedback It would be very helpful.
Something I have to change for sure is the UI. I think I can tell when something is beautiful or ugly, but I don't have the ability to make anything beauty. So my UI is ugly. I just kept working on that base and style because I wanted to finish the game some day, and I didn't want to get stuck on that.
The game is in an early stage. It needs more towers, more enemies, more levels and more achievements. I also have to integrate analytics, google play game services and meybe another video provider.
It is monetized with videos. I think I am not being agressive at all. There are three ways to see videos and all of them are voluntary.
-Energy (Energicubes): The player gets 1 energy to play a game every hour at a maximum of three. Play a level costs one energy, but everytime you complete a level for the first time, you get your energy back. So in theory you could play non stop as long as you win. If you run out of energy you can watch an Ad and get 3 energys. The game starts with 5 energicubes.
-Technocubes: Thats the coin used to unlock new turrets or evolution of turrets. You get 1 for completing a level for the first time. 1 completing a level without loosing lives for the first time. And one everytime you complete a level and decide to watch an Ad. So again it is voluntary.
-Perks: There are consumable persk that the player can use to complete a level in case he gets stuck. A perk could be a big wave that damages all the enemies or extra money to build turrets. There is a chance of getting free perks when you finish a level and also you can get a random perk every few minutes watching an Ad. The perks are there to help people who can't pass a level, but they won't get the maximum of three stars if they use a perk in the level. So in some way I think it is not an Ad to win game.
What do you think?
This week I want to work in:
-Include analytics with firebase.
-Add google play game services.
-Add 3 more levels (there are only 19 and I want to have at least 200 before I can consider this game complete).
-Add some achievements, at least 5 more.
-Close the game and navigate the menus with Android back button.
For future updates the game needs:
-A menu with all the enemies that the player has discovered, with all the stats and info.
-More enemies with unique mecanics.
-More turrets. I have in mind a support turret that increases the damage of near turrets, an electric turret that makes damage all around, a gold generator turret... More ideas you could give me would be appreciated
-Something different in the UI.
-Music.
I made two gifs so you can see the game without having to download it:

Thank you very much and I will try to keep this thread updated

Could you put an example? I translate it myself and it is very probably that there are many mistakes.
Also, should I change the word perk for skill or something like that?
Thank you very much

The first time I play, I got confused by the term "ubication". I think you should just call it tile.
The game is quite fun.

Thank you very much. I have been updating the game and changed that word for tile. I think it is more clear now
I have also changed perks for spells, I hope more people will notice what they are.
I have added more levels, achievements and I have tried to improve a little de UI. For example, the x2 speed button looked awful. I changed it for an slider and I think its much better.
Now, when you change the speed x2 or x1 it is easier to know what is the current speed. Also changed the turrets and spells buttons in the ingame menu. Now they are more like tabs.
The game currently has 25 levels. I aiming to make more than 100, but with 25 I feel confident to try to get some users. That's the hardest part :silly:

And I see that you made an exit button, nice..... On previous version, I could only exit by pressing home button.
Keep polishing, no need to hurry, take it easy...... good luck.

Hi! I am back after two new updates. The version 0.75 is out with big changes.
Two new turrets, a gold miner and a support turret. There is also a popup with information about the defeated enemies. Some ui improvements and local push notifications. I made the notifications to be quiet. Some times it is anoying when a game send you many notifications, so I tried this to see if I improve the retention and dont make the users to remove the game becaouse of them.
I included until level 33. Some new enemies and more achievements to unlock.
I am quite happy with the progress. I am taking your advice and not hurrying, cacingbesar. Step by step the game is taking form.
Now I need more levels and create videos and trailers to show the game and to update the game page in google play.

in first experience, it comes to me so strange but when tried the game dynamics it feels so good thanks for post after long term experience i can share my feedbacks

Thank you very much! What I have in mind for the levels to come is making them longer.
The first levels I wanted to give the player time to collect technocubes to buy turret evolutions. Then, with longer levels the player will face stronger enemies and evolve the turrets during the level will make sense.
The evolutions are not worth at the beggining in the damage/cost ratio, but because they scale faster with the tower level, with towers at level 10 and so on it is worthy to evolve a turret instead of building a new one.
This is what I have planned for the future levels
This is similar to the new turret. It increased the damage of nerly turrets by 20%. It is expensive but surrounded by strong towers it can be very effective.
