[GAME] [2.3.3+] [FREE] Dracoo Lite

Hi. After playing video games for almost 20 years now, we (a frind of mine and me) finally decided to create one by ourselves. We released the first version on google play store these days...
I hope everybody has a great time and a lot of fun with this game. For questions to technical details and other stuff i am available, of course, in this thread, or you can drop me a mail
Fly the dragon named Dracoo through the lovely 2d scenery in this casual game. Roast as many enemies as possible with your fiery breath. But watch out, they will try to harm you.

Steer Dracoo past all obstacles, stay clear of bats and other shady creatures and eat as many chilis as possible for your breath.
I've done a little level-editor too, to take away the pain of creating levels. If you like, you can try to create some nice levels and then send them to me Maybe, if you have some funny ideas, it will make its way to the full version of the game: http://dracoo-leveleditor.xsheetgames.com

I would love to get some feedback! Please tell me what you think.
We will release the full version with 45 Levels and 3 Levelpacks on March 31th.

Thank you very much. I hope everything will run smoothly. I once tried it on a xperia tablet s and encountered some problems. Please let me know if the latest performance updates helped. I would love to read your feedback on the overall user experience. There is still some time left for us to include the customers voice in the full version.

The game runs really smooth with no problems so far for me. Its really challenging but that might be because im so bad at games xD cute graphics as well may I suggest different 'types' of dragons or fireballs in the future?

I'm glad everything worked smoothly. We thought about different power ups with different effects and ammo (ice ball for example). We plan to deliver new levelpacks through updates later this year. We would include these new powerups there. Thanks for this suggestion. I will discuss it with my partner, but it seems logical to me. It would enhance the depth of the level design
Is the game too hard? Some people stated by now that it is a little too challenging. They haven't faced the first boss yet. He will be hard work to beat
When I was designing the levels, I had games like rayman origins or the gameboy classic parodius in mind. This games are very challenging too. I hoped, our levels can be beaten with less than 5 trys per level from the average casual player. To target all 3 eggs per level is very challenging indeed.
What is your opinion? Should we aim a little lower?

Maybe have a selection of 'easy', 'normal', and 'hard' levels?

COOL!!!

funny, cool !!

Awesome!, It kinda remind me space impact

looks soo cartoon pretty
Reminds me of Rayman Legends style.. EXCELLENT WORK!

I gotta hand it to you, the game got me hooked. Over and over again trying to get a full 3 star. Hahaha and I agree, it is challenging but that's what I find to be the charm here. When playing, you get this feeling that it's not that hard but everytime I failed I always go; "ugh, just a little more" or " damn, curse that dead end" lol but I always came back for more. Thanks

Thank you
Thank you very much. It is fun to make a game. But it is even more fun when someone actually is playing it. :fingers-crossed:
At the moment, we are drawing and designing the 3rd levelpack: Terror Forest We're going to put 3 free levels in the Lite version, of course. The full version will have 45 Levels (and we will enhance the gametime with additional levelpacks via updates). And the full version will be ad-free. I hate the fact that we had to put Ads in the lite version, sorry for that. But, at least the GameScreen itself and the TitleScreen remains ad-free. I would love to read more feedback from you.
I hope everyone has a great time with our game. And don't be shy: Please rate Dracoo Lite in the Google Play Store. :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:

Beautiful!!!
Very cool game, run smooth and the graphics is very good. It is a little hard to play but it is also very very fun!!! :good:

Looks really nice, reminds me of Rayman Origins with Rayman being on one of those mosquito's.
I'll be getting this on Play Store.

Cool
Awesome

Runs smoothly on my Galaxy S2 (CM 10.1).
Nice ExtJS level editor too.
Can you give to us developers a overview of the geral game architecture ?
Do you use a SurfaceView in the game ? How you do it so smoothly ?

Thank you. I use the LibGdx framework for creating the game. They supply everything you need, from box2d physics simulations to application lifecycle handling. But, compared to cocos2d, it is more technical and you have to do more things by yourself. When it comes to performance and asset management, I bet I have done some things wrong (this was my first android app and my first game). But with every update, it becomes better . I wrote a small "history of prototypes" on our homepage a little while ago, where you can see the milestones we achieved with each version. But I stopped updating some versions ago, so the latest version of the game is not there. To run the game in your browser, you need the webGl plugin.
We plan to make some development and design-tutorials in the future (2-3 moth from now). Frankly, since we have dayjobs too, it is a matter of time. But I hope we find the time to walk you throw the tricky parts of game development. If you like to keep track, simply like our facebook page or check this forum post in the libGdx forum.
Why is it so smooth? Hm. Maybe because I went down an endless road, trying to tweak the performance. I came up with some pretty memory-saving ideas how to build the parallax. More on that topic will be covered in a seperate tutorial.
When you think now: Hey, why is it not smooth on my device? That is probably because of the HD graphics we used. Not every phone can handle this big graphics and animations without problems. Especially phones with 320x480 screens. But we are working on that.
Surface view: My understanding ist that LibGdx uses a GlSurfaceView under the hood, but usually you do not get in touch with that.

cool !
good work bro...
congratulations !!!

its ok to play

[GAME][2.2+] One More Drop FREE

Hi xda-developers,
I spent a lot of time on my first mobile game, so I'm curious about your opinions.

Peekaboo needs you! Use skill and logic to move a water drop to the right place.

}
Players are required to grow a friend for the character of Peekaboo, a tiny sprite living in the grass and feeding on pure water. Players guide a water droplet through a host of obstacles to the right place. Once the water drops close enough to the target, a new friend will grow.
The game is based on the laws of physics: the water droplet evaporates in contact with a hot obstacle, and steam rises up. It changes state again once it runs into a cold barrier, drops down or freezes, and so on.
You can build your own levels.

Many thanks to Mario Zechner and his libGDX which saved my time a lot.
I'm looking forward to your opinions.
Thanks and enjoy the game.

Cute game, nice graphic, like short levels. Nice work.
Why is the score limitation for sending my own levels publicly? To prevent junk levels?

That is right, at first version was no limit to send levels. But most of players build and upload completely unusable levels. In version 1.0.4 we add some limitations 10000 game points, so players must know basic game principles first.
It was helpful, just experienced players submit their levels now.
I'm glad that you like the game.

Your game is tricky. For first look it seems to be easy, but advanced levels are challenging.
Good work. Like the game.

I see, that is good idea. Was it difficult to implement online storage for the levels and do you use some service provider or your own server?
I saw some providers for score tables (even Google start his own). But for store data (e.g. levels) I didn't find anything.
This could be usefull for my own application. Thanks.

After some searching for existing services during preparing our game (year ago), we decide to build our own server application to maintain users, levels and rates. Levels created by players are signed, so only author can change them. This all thing are too complex to use some universal service. But we could have a performance problem if there will be too many concurent players. During performance tests we were able to deal with approximately 10 players per second.
So if you plan use your own server, you have to decide performance vs. custom implementation.
Good luck with your app.

Hi fivephones, I finished free packages of the game and most of online levels. I have to say again, I like the game.
I'm working right now on my own levels, you will see ).

It is similar concept as used in the game "Candy Pot" by Pi Labs

Hi, you have to try it first . It's an honor for me if you compare One More Drop to this game. I do not have iPhone, but according info on iTunes "Candy Pot" using one object "candy" to jump into a pot.
In One More Drop the water droplet contains 25 parts and keeping them togeather by tilting phone and guide them to the target is the goal. Of course there are some similiar elements, it's a puzzle game ).
Thank you very much for the comment.

After all free levels (during last days) I have to say, tilting waterdrop is a FUN . Level builder is working good, sometimes overlaping elements are confusing. Maybe you can improve "button-flow" for deleting all elements (it was not clear for me first time).
Thanks for the game and good luck.

OK, we will improve Level Builder a little bit in next release. Thanks for sharing your levels with other players.

Very nice graphic, like it)

Really fun physics game! Tilting has great response on waterdrop. Thanks for the game.

We were focused on fine control by tilt, because it's key feature for this game. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for comment.
Looking forward for your own levels ).

Hello again, do you plan some best score of the all times? Best of the week changing continuosly, thats good. But after week there is no way how to find your max score. Thanks.

Yes, we plan to add hall of fame, separated for free and paid version (because of different number of levels).
Also there will be a link in from application to the website.

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!

[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.

-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?

What is the positive effect?

-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.

Okay, forget about the speed boost. Random farting alone is sufficient!

Well, that's the way it is. There are so many apps that you have to fight for every single download!

Thank you for your post! It is under development, we are working hard on this game, you could send email to us about your ideas, feature request, experiences and issues! It is based on the FreeCiv but it is MMO and it is designed to mobile; the rule set is continuously evolving based on the players feedback.
Blog posts, forum topics, wiki and more: https :// portal.gacivs.info

Well... My first offer is: I think you should really change "Offered By: Golden Age of Civilizations" in Google Play There should be your name, not the game.

Oh, we will establish a company with the name of the game soon, so that every registration and domain name based on the prospective company name...

Do you want me to translate for you this game description for Google Play into Russian? (for free)

This game is a great idea!
I understand it’s still in development, so I have few suggestions:
- I think the basic development of the cities is too slow. We hit times like 1 day or more only to build the 1st building. It would be more motivating if we could do the basic buildings in few hours.
- On the other hand, for the research, it’s a bit weird that we can discover new knowledge instantly as long as we have science points. I understand that the time to gather these points = time to discover this knowledge, but it makes the evolution the civilization a bit weird: Nothing happened during decades (because the player didn’t take care of his science points) and then, the civilization go under a major science breakthrough discovering the wheel, horseback riding and iron working at the same time (because the player noticed he had a huge amount of science point to spend).
- The unit movement needs more fluidity
Keep the good work !

Making unit movement more fluid will make the animation slower; as I know it terrible irritates the users
I like the unit movement animation, when are shown the phantom of the unit path. Alas, it's not the task for the free indie game, I suppose

You can request new features or suggest modifications to existing features on forum of our portal (portal.gacivs.info)!

UI improvement
I understand, that you are focusing on features, but you really should spend some time in an apealing UI. This is really necessary because many users will look just 1 time at your app and in this moment, they have to be caught by a nice design.
The images don't have to be "the best drawing images of all time", but they have to be similar with all other assets used in the game and share one design. They have to build up a whole thing together. For now, your UI and the Game-World are seperated thigns, they don't look like one thing.

You are right but it is a hobby project and we have no time to do all task at once.

We've just finished a border drawing feature! It is a huge first step toward the complex territory based actions, like see everything inside border, bound resources of the cities must be on an owned tile and military units of a nation at peace with the territory owner are not allowed.

Waiting for final version
Its an awesome game. As i downloaded i was skeptic of the game play as the name suggested it must be something like Ages of Empire kind of thing. But beta version proved to be a huge fun.
I even recommended to my mates & but still waiting for their feedback. So just waiting for the final version now. I hope its better than it sounds, cuz market is saturated with this genre games. So thank you developing team and I hope you guys have mega success with this game.
