Hi guys
I am a software engineering student, eager xda reader and in my (little) free time i like to mess around with my android phone. So i developed a little game over the last half year. It's called Shape Rotate.
I wanted to do a simple but new game, not another flappy bird clone. So finally i put the first version online in the playstore yesterday, here is a short description:
In my game you always see two equal shapes, in random rotations. Your task is to rotate the outer shape so that it is equally aligned to the inner one - once they are aligned equally tap the screen anywhere to get the next one. That sounds easy, but since time is not on your side (you gain some extra time every time you get the two shapes aligned identically) it gets really tricky once the shapes are not that obvious any more. The goal is to survive as long as you can.
It would be really great if you check it out, i would really appreciate feedback (or, even better: positive reviews )
Here is the playstore link: Shape Rotate in google play
It is of course free (no in-app purchases or what-so-ever), and i plan to add a lot more different shapes in the future! I attached some screenshots of the app, and i also added a demo video in the playstore description.
Great game. Has great potential to be a time waster. There does seem to be some lag between the shape changes that can prematurely end your game. Get that timing down and you've hit a home run.
As for some suggestions to add. Maybe have levels to unlock similar to an angry birds setup. In level one hand similar shapes with minimal colors, next thing to unlock, add another shape or two with an additional color. Thus making each level progressively harder.

Thx for your feedback! Regarding the lags, may i ask which device you are using?
I tested it on several devices from an I9000 to my Nexus 4. The only lag i found was that on older devices it takes some time to start the game, but once it displays the first shape i haven't found any lag :s
Yes i already thought about such a thing - creating different "shape packages" and unlocking them time after time. That is definitely a good suggestion for the future and i will soon start working on this. This now is just a first version where i wanted to check out how the game mechanics work and how people react to it.

I'm running on an N4 with KK 4.4.4 and hellscore b47, most kernel settings default.
To be sure I'm understood, I solve one shape and before the transition to the next set of shapes, there is a noticeable pause.
This is a good concept. There’s a lag also when rotating the outer shapes. Though this might be because of my slow samsung galaxy tab.
Overall, this is a good gameplay.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B48cqoutz8n3dDFnbTJvRm1XOVU/edit?usp=docslist_api
There should be an mp4 video to illustrate the lag.
Seems there may be an issue with the timer as well.

hm, well it could be that what you think is a lag is actually my poor description and/or implementation?
The playing mechanics should be: you rotate the outer shape so that it is correctly aligned. IF it is so, then you tap anywhere on the screen to "submit" it. if it is correct you get the next shapes.
(The reason why it cannot "auto submit" the moment it is correctly aligned is because then it would be trivial, you would just rotate it until it snaps in - thats why you need that extra "next shape please"-tap)
The possible rotation is actually split into 12 different angles, so there are 11 different angles with which shapes can appear.
The best way to control it is to drag with a finger on the border of the screen (or use two fingers as in normal rotation gestures). you have to drag the finger a bit until the shape snaps in to the next one.
so could it be that it's because i didn't explain the intended controls enough? If so, do you have any suggestions to improve that, or how to better explain the way to play it?
really really appreciating your feedback btw :good:

I may not have read it if you wrote it. When initially testing something like this I go for intuitive. The extra tap isn't.
What about doing the the auto next based on a touch release. You know when the shape is being rotated, the screen is being touched. Can you detect when a finger is removed? There would be no more rotation and wouldn't allow just spinning randomly to get it to snap as you describe.
EDIT:
Looking it up it's called a touch event using MotionEvent class with ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_UP

That is actually a quite interesting suggestion! I tried it out, and it feels kind of nice. it also makes the game easier, maybe i have to reconsider the additional time gain... I created a debug build, would be nice if you would download and try it and tell me what you think ( you have to deinstall the appstore version first, since this one is signed with my local debug key)
It now checks the correct alignment each time you lift your finger from the screen.
Edit: i think that is a gamebreaker because it makes the game way to easy. you just have to swipe very quickly on the border, and due to the "auto" check you always get the alignment correct very quickly.
another version would be this one. here it is also checked on touchUp but if the alignment is wrong it jumps back in the initial state. that makes it even a bit harder, but also requires more focus and looking.
what do you think?
OK, going to leave this one up to you. I didn't catch a difference between the two in how they play. The first one appears to be snappier and jerky, as opposed to the second one being smoother and slower.
Either way, you nailed what I was saying. What do you think? I think this is far more intuitive. Now you just need to figure out the levels of difficulty.
The ultimate would be to have the shapes and colors auto generated with random attributes. You would not have to map anything out, the app would automagically create them.
Ok i found some issues that caused the touch input to be way to sensitive or way to unresponsive - that fixed i got some feedback that the overall control is way better now (especially on high res devices).

I still like the idea, but it brings some new issues that i need to figure out. Once you got the current control mechanism people don't think to much about it - so i'm not quite sure if it is really that much benefit. I will test that out over the next iterations and try gathering more feedback (about the current control and about how much people think it's good/bad).

That is the second big point on my todo list. but i don't really know how to start.
The best way that comes to my mind is to define different "base shapes" that are then just colored randomly. but that again would require alot of different base shapes to keep up a good variety?
at the moment i add hand drawn shapes with each update (around 170 now and using .gif its not that of a size problem anymore)

Hey Everyone,
I just finished a game I was working on for the android platform.
Check it out. Look in the market for "Space Blasters".
It is completely free, and I would really appreciate some constructive criticism and reviews.
Thanks.
You should post the APK here to
Hey...looks good but does need some work.
Things I would recommend are making the cursor move faster, adding more designs for the asteroids, the ability to save current level, and a minimum distance for the appearance of the asteroids.
This has potential to be a lot of fun and I will be keeping it on my phone.
Please rate it from 1 to 10.
I am looking for a new game..
I love space shooters, I'll let you know what I think.
It is a good start but still obviously needs work. Every time I played it, I got a FC at some point during the game. Some of the comments in the market said there was a problem with the control, to me it felt fine although it took a minute to figure out. Controlling with the trackball would be nice so I can play the game laying down. I noticed the game will change orientation when I moved the phone around, and when that happens the game stops. Ill have to hit back and restart the game again. Please disable that, either staying in landscape or portrait is fine.
I liked the unique (first person) point of view.
Some of the asteroids popped up and hit me before I could reach them in time, not a big deal but seemed a little unfair. I liked the effect of the broken screen upon impact. Maybe a short vibration when that happens would add to the gameplay.
Recommendations:
Of course fix the force closes.
Add trackball support
Animate the asteroids a little, like have some of them spinning.
Have some large asteroids spilt into pieces that have to be shot also.
Make the asteroids come from the center and have mutiple at one time.
Make the asteroids start out small and get bigger the closer they get.
What id like to see:
score.
maybe some other objects besides asteroids to shoot at.
at the end of the round the ship goes to light speed or some kind of cool effect.
end of round stats: accuracy, time, bonus, total shots fired, etc.
music, something techno
Ill keep the game for the updates, I hope it turns out well.
Thanks for the insight phatmanxxl.
Sorry for the late reply back. Much appreciated from my end and whoever read that post of yours.
Cool idea. There are some bugs, though.
For example:
1) My phone (MyTouch 3G) is in portrait mode
2) I open the game
3) I start playing. Go on to level 2.
4) I realize that the number of asteroids left (I guess that's what it means?) is on the bottom right of the screen and is therefore flipped 90 degrees.
5) I flip my phone so that it's in landscape orientation
6) The screen dims briefly while it switches to landscape mode
7) The game changes orientation and now the game is in portrait mode
8) I flip my phone to portrait orientation, and the game flips to landscape, etc...
9) I realize that no more asteroids are coming my way and the number is at 0.
Keep up the good work. I'm sure it can get better
Cool. Thank you!
@net_vampire32,
You had posted this same thread 5 times in different places. That is spamming and it is against forum rules. I have merged all the posts from those threads and place the remaining one under Android apps and games since it seems to be the most appropriate place for it, as it is not device specific.
If you have questions, let me know. Thanks.
Hi,
I would highly appreciate your beta tests and feedback of my recently released game - look for "Guess 2D" in the android market. Guess 2D is similar to good old mastermind, but I have added second dimension [shape] on top.
With 4 pieces you get 2^16 (65k) combinations.
All comments are appreciated! I hope you will enjoy the puzzle.
Good mind fitness. My score 12 rounds first attempt. Not easy for new players to learn. Could do with more information on how to play.
Thanks for this.
15 tries! pretty simple if u read the instructions
Feedback
Could you remove the About and Restart buttons from the screen. Make them accessible via the menu key. Will give more screen space to see the work done on puzzle and will avoid accidental press of restart in the middle of a puzzle.
thanks for feedback
Fair point - I think I will need to add a start screen to make sure new users will see the About button even if they do not press Menu during gameplay. Then I will hide buttons in the game screen. Also I am considering adding another gameboard that will fit 5 pieces [with separate score tracking].
6 tries, played a lot of mastermind years ago.
Suggestion: make a confirm button, don't confirm automatically after fitting last block. It's nice to have a look it everything fits before confirming. This button could reside on the next row i.e.
Would be useful to have more instructions on how to play.
Great game! Always loved board games, particularly risk and mastermind. This has filled a need for me!
Scores:
Try 1 : 6
Try 2 : 4
I'll give it a break for now
My first post on XDA
I simply dont understand the game...
When i got one black circle in the 1st and 2nd row, then i thought it has to be on the specific place where the black circle appears...
I only have the confirmation that one color and one shape of all 4 is in the right place... quite random info.
Would be easier and more interesting if the black circle appears on the specific place where the right shape/color is.
Or maybe I'm not old enough never heard of mastermind.
Maybe a friendly member got a tip for me how to solve this
It would be too easy Daniel, if the black circle was in the exact spot. You should play some bubble blast first if you find this hard.

Hi Daniel, it will be easier the way you discribed it but I do not think it will be more interesting. This is not an easy puzzle - and its intended to be tough. Check the results from people in this thread - not only its possible to beat Android - also you can do it suprisingly fast.
Hope you will succeed!
very cool game!!!
hey.. right now the game is measured in rounds. the fewer rounds it takes , the better you are.
can you add a time trial? since if its measured by rounds, people can just look at the board for hours and get under 7 rounds easily.
on average i finish in 6-7 rounds in 15-20 mins. and I could b a really angry man if i accidentally pressed restart during a game. I discovered that yesterday.

It took me a while to update the code - finally next release is uploaded to the market (look for Guess2d).
Now you can enjoy 4x4 and 5x5 modes (if you find 5x5 to easy) and also the restart button has been moved to menu - I can imagine the frustration when you click it by accident after spending 15 minutes decrypting the puzzle.
Enjoy! (and any further comments or a bug report - please let me know).
new update needs super user access, why?

Hilarium, I have moved to Mobclix and their Ad SDK has requested those permissions. Frankly speaking unsure what you mean by super user access - is it any concern from security standpoint?
PS. In the market the list of permissions is: network communication, system tools, phone calls - which one is the super user you mention?
Hi all,
My second app is up on the marketplace:
https://market.android.com/details?id=ph.android.smokeLWP
It's a fluid solver driven live wallpaper and stand-alone app.
The effect is a simple but satisfying dynamic smoke.
Youtube video to follow tomorrow.
I would really appreciate your feedback and feature requests!
Cheers,
-=JK=-
My sgs2 is smoking!
Impressions are good, although with a blank initial screen, thought something was wrong until I touched it...(Duh I know).
A wee bit pixilated but understand the universal performance issue, which would slow most devices dramatically If at a higher resolution.
It reminds me of a app called Fleya, which is on the market, if you are not familiar with it, check it out.
But this is a great start, and being a fan of fluid / smoke dynamic simulations, this is a keeper
Will be following this.
Well done and thanks.
Regards
With reference to the "Fleya" app for reference.

Thanks buzzboy.
Yeah, I am also a fan of fleya!
I've got quite a lot to add to Smoke Play to get it to where I want it. I've been messing around with some settings and superficial stuff for about a week so I thought it just needs to get out there.
My ideas for features are:
a settings activity where you can up the detail and iterations on the fluid solver for more powerful phones
expose all the smoke (or fluid) properties to be customisable
define some cool pre-sets
coloured smoke that mixes (have this working on my laptop)
continuous auto-sources of smoke
objects (draw shapes) in the path of the smoke
calculated objects field from the homescreen icons (smoke collides with your icons)
an auto-config activity which scales the detail up or down to optimise quality on all phones
maybe put an ad in the settings activity
I'm not sure what order I'll do things in. I think some sort of settings screen will be up next.
I'm keen to hear other ideas too!
Cheers,
-=JK=-
Just made an update, check it out!
Added features:
- smoothed the input
- added multitouch
- added a settings screen to make the level of detail user configurable
The "medium" level of detail is about right for my SGS ... so you can judge the right setting for your phone.
Cheers,
-=JK=-
Another update:
- tweaked the settings for the different levels of detail smoke
- fixed a memory usage bug (will keep an eye on this, difficult to reproduce)
Cheers,
-=JK=-
Nice, runs at very high on my DHD, nice work.
Sent from HydrOG3N MOD DHD.
Technology Evolves, Android Evolves.
HydrOG3N is THE Revolution.
Real smooth on my echo, nice work
This is very entertaining. I am looking forward to the features you want to implement.
How about accelerometer detection so the smoke rises accordingly, depending on how the phone is being held.
I wallpaper works in the preview mode but will not apply to homescreen. One suggestion I can think of is being able to change the background image. It would be awesome to be able to have a weed background with dynamic smoke
Sent from my Hero CDMA using XDA App
This wallpaper is amazing. The only thing it really needs is a certain amount of smoke as a sort of baseline so that I don't have a blank phone every time I wake it up. It is pretty nifty that the screen comes alive the first time you touch it though..
Nice!
Working great on my SGS running on High detail. Very nice work!
Hope to see implementation of accelerometer and colors.
Thanks for the feedback everyone, great to hear!
I wanted to make more updates, but I've been a bit tight for time recently. Some of the feedback I've had is that it looks pixelated so I've been unsuccessfully trying to work on a simple shader to smooth the rendering. I may not be able to make this work, but I'd like to. For those interested, the fluid sim uses C code via the NDK so this may be complicating things for me ... also shaders will not work below Android 2.2 which adds complication.
Colour is definitely coming, I have this working with a simple RGB colours in my test code. I want a nice way to choose colours in the settings screen. Any suggestions around this would be cool.
Accelerometer detection will come, but this will be slightly more tricky than colour and may take me a little time.
A constant source of some smoke (so there is something always on the screen) will be a later addition.
I haven't looked at transparency over a background image yet.
Cheers,
-=JK=-
i love this man its very nice. the updates you want to do are sounding great too! one thing i do want to add is an idea for it. maybe when you get the constant smoke source try having so your touches dont always produce smoke but can just twirl it and influence it. like have a setting where you can turn on constant smoke and then play with it. But its great so far keep up the work!
Hi Guys,
Got an update out! (finally)
This one includes:
- a bug fix of a known issue in OpenGL which was causing a crash when switching between the app and the wallpaper every now and then
- a smoothing renderer. This takes the edges off the pixelated look which was the main feedback I was getting.
I went down and back several paths to try and smooth the rendering. I'm fairly happy with it. The levels of detail for the fluid simulation are the same as before, but it divides each cell into 4 and does a sort of subtle bloom effect prior to the gl rendering calls.
Hope this improves the look and feel for people.
I looked at porting to OpenGL ES 2.0 (from 1.0), but it was just too difficult for what I was doing. If anyone knows a good tutorial to do this I may look into it in the future. I think the shader effects available in 2.0 would further improve / customise the visuals.
Cheers,
-=JK=-
PS - next up: accelerometer (then coloured smoke / constant sources)
New version out today!
Accelerometer detection for the smoke rising added.
Also slightly improved the rendering performance.
Finally got around to filming it too, here's a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xdLceg474k

Version 1.8 up on the market.
Added continuous source mode: smoke is continuously added to the middle of the screen, swipe to push it around with forces.
Added simple colour: cycles through RGB when you touch the screen.
Next up: background image, colour picker.
Cheers,
-=JK=-
Thanks for sharing.
As an FYI, the smoke is pixelated on my Archos 70 :
I'm using the latest market version with "smooth rendering" enabled.
Hi jknut,
I'm sorry it's pixelated on your device.
You can try upping the smoke level of detail in the options.
Unfortunately, this will increase the number of calculations per frame and may slow it down to a crawl.
There's not a lot I can do about this ... the algorithm is implemented in C via the NDK so it's not going to get much faster. I have implemented a fixed point version which gave a slight speed increase but unacceptable precision for the effect.
Even on my Core i5 laptop I can easily make it grind to a halt on a detail setting not much more than the "are you feeling lucky" one.
Cheers,
-=JK=-
PS - more features to follow, just swamped with work right now
Version 1.9!
Hi all,
New version just released.

Hello developers!
I am excited to introduce to you my first Android app. This is a simple game that balloons of increasing speed fly from the bottom of your screen upwards. Tap on them to pop them to earn some score. More score levels you up, unlocks more balloons and eventually speeds up the balloons. Your goal is to reach level 50.
My biggest concern is how the game looks on other devices. I could only test on my Samsung Infuse 4G which has a considerably big screen. So if you want to try this out, all I ask is for you to tell me if anything is cut off and what your frames per second is. Hopefully you won't run into any glitches. Rate it if you want, but I'd prefer the above info instead. Other than that, I hope you enjoy it!
It's completely free and ad-free so don't worry.
For the app, add this to the end of the Android Marketplace homepage URL:
/details?id=com.sharpacex.BalloonFrenzy
Sorry I can't link yet and I sort of need this information as soon as possible to ensure if I need to make serious edits or not. I'm not sure how Android's scaling works. Thanks for reading.
On my Atrix the screen is cut off on the right side and on the bottom, its just black bars. When the balloons float up over the black bars they leave streaks of red that dont go away. 60fps
Ahh I know what happened... Since the background is a pre-set size, it wasn't big enough to cover it for your phone's screen. When I get around making a Credit's page, you'll be added on it (Unless you don't want to) for this info. Thanks a lot.

Good app
Hi guys,
I have released a game called Flicky Circles. Flicky Circles is simple, fast and thinkful android game to play with your friends or against a computer. Originally inspired by OLO. Flicky Circles is free in a small size apk. Give it a try. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you for your support!
About:
Each player starts with 6 circles in 3 different sizes. Circle gets smaller each time it lands on player's starting point (white color). Goal is to flick your circles into same colored ending zone and achieve more points than opponent. With two or more same sized circles, player gets a bonus point...
Supported:
- any resolution from 320x480 - 1080x1920
- android 2.3 and higher.
More details on google play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goranhorvat.flickycircles
FB fan page:
https://www.facebook.com/FlickyCircles
I hope you will like it.
I would like to have some opinions about Flicky Circles. Have you tried? Is there "missing" something in the game and would make it more playable for you?
Very nice, really polished and a great interface. Fun game idea. The text in the help screen/intro could use some polish.
"Each player starts with an equal amount of circles representing their moves."
"Each circle gives the player a point when it reaches their colored zone. If 2 congruent circles are landed, the player gets a bonus point"
"Reach the colored space and flick away towards the opponents circles to defeat the opponent."
"Player captures the opponent's circle if it lands in their starting area. The circle becomes smaller."
"Lock button freezes circles in place for one round. It can only be used once per game."
Feel free to tweak those for brevity if you need to.
Also, on the game pause screen, the text doesn't change colors when you tap it like it does on the main menu. This kind of has a jarring effect because you can't tell if it detected your touch or not.
Thank you for helping me with words. I will update these things including pause screen UI in the next version.
Downloaded
This looks like a fun game. Just downloaded it. I'll take it for a spin this weekend and give you my feedback
Lookout flags it as adware
I've just installed it and Lookout pop's up a message "Flicky Circles" is adware
See attached screenshot
EDIT: it also gives this detail:-
APP REPORT
CLASSIFICATION: Adware.Android.Rev.Mob.a
This app may contain the RevMob ad network. It may create push notification ads that appear in your notification bar. It may not be clear to you that this application is creating these ads. It also may send personally identifying information, such as your email or IMSI, to RevMob’s servers.
Hi fangthorn, I don't use Lookout, so thanks for detailed explanation. I'll remove revmob from Flicky Circles within 24hours.
I had a quick go at lunchtime. I can see this being very addictive
Apart from the popup ad it's a fun game :good:
Looking nice
Games looking nice, but not able to play in my defy.
My defy is running JB 4.1.2 (Quarx), when I open game menu screen will come and when I press single or double player again it s return to main menu with different color, is this problem with rom r .................
Thanks
Hi navin, I don't understand exactly what kind of problem you have? Can you play Flicky Circles? Colors are supposed to change each play.
graylowes, thank you for your feedback.
I downloade it just for giggles, but i really like it.
Its simple and addictive. And the 2 Player mode on one device is
cool. i´ll play it with a friend the next days and see how they like it.
Good Job! Hope for more cool thing to come!
Great job!:good:
game play is very good, a little fast i think but very good!
improving sound tracks would be nice and if possible adding some effects like Menu sound effect in OLO
Looking nice

Hi, I tested it on Nexus 7 and it works fine. Never had a problem like that. Please send me a clip on PM, from app start to the end (back to menu) so I can take a look into it. Thank you.
B!GBOY & strainhunter thank you for your words. I appreciate it.
Currently no plan for sound fx. But in the near future, I will try to add some levels where you can build some flicking skills. I hope players will like it.

My favorite game right now
I find this wonderful game to be so easy, fun, yet still has some strategy to it to keep your mind going. Bite sized games, but I keep going back again and again and again. Fantastic job! Five stars! Thank you, very much.

Hi guys,
I have released a game called Flicky Circles. Flicky Circles is simple, fast and thinkful android game to play with your friends or against a computer. Originally inspired by OLO. Flicky Circles is free in a small size apk. Give it a try. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you for your support!
About:
Each player starts with 6 circles in 3 different sizes. Circle gets smaller each time it lands on player's starting point (white color). Goal is to flick your circles into same colored ending zone and achieve more points than opponent. With two or more same sized circles, player gets a bonus point...
Supported:
- any resolution from 320x480 - 1080x1920
- android 2.3 and higher.
More details on google play:

FB fan page:

I hope you will like it.

Hi Harvey!
I'm a big big fan of OLO on iPad... and I was really missing this game on Android (and OLO devs clearly state they are not planning to dev their game for the android platform...), so I'm very very happy that you are here developping FlickyCircles... Very promising game, thank you
:good::good::good::good::good:
Just a a few questions:
1) could you add an online play mode? (hopefully not through facebook)
2) can you list all the differences vs OLO in terms of rules and counting points? (in particular coming from OLO, I'm a bit confused about captures (when and how))
3) I hate facebook (yes, I'm quite old fashion...) ... any other way to store and share high scores?
Keep the great work )
EDIT____________________________________
Ok, I've tested further and I don't like too much your capture method because:
1) the smallest circles can't be captured (thus limiting some strategic moves)
2) we end up playing with small circles only, which is also limiting because the small ones are much less powerful
I prefer the OLO capture method where all circles are not shrunk when captured but each circles can only be captured twice (circle that can no more be captured are flickering for a brief moment). Could you maybe offer this different capture method as an option?

I'm glad you like my game.
1. Not yet, but I'll spend some time in the future and try to implement it.
2. Please visit help in the game. All rules are listed there, except maybe that lives of the circles depends on their sizes. So therefore, the smallest circle can't get any smaller and you loose it if it lands on the white zone.
3. Currently no. I made sharing with facebook just for fun. If I want to add other sharing options, game would become much larger (in KB)...
But I'm thinking of having online scores inside Flicky Circles, if that's what you prefer?
Thank you Surfinette and ghostinrags!
thanks
Thanks for sharing
