[GAME][3.0+] Caribou Crossing, a libGDX-powered endless runner - Android Apps and Games

Hi everyone! I just released my first game, Caribou Crossing. It's an arcade style endless runner, in which you help the caribou cross as many lanes as possible. I developed the game with libGDX, which I really enjoyed.
Google Play Store link: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.games.erik.cariboucrossing.

Certainly! You can download the game at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.games.erik.cariboucrossing (I'd post a hyperlink, but I'm new to the xda forums, so I have to wait a bit to do that). Again, any feedback or advice would be appreciated! Thanks for playing!

Help finding bug!
Hi all,
So I've had many friends playing my game, and very occasionally, a bug appears. Specifically, the character gets "locked" moving in one direction or another. I have no idea how to replicate this problem, and happens rarely in all cases. If you download and play my game and happen to find this bug, please let me know how/when it happened, or any other information you think might be helpful. As always, all advice is appreciated!
Thanks!

Bug fix
I've just published a new version that should fix the bug previously described. Still, please let me know if you if it happens to you, or any other bugs you find! Thanks!

Screenshots and google play store link added to original post!

If anyone has any advice to share on developing with libGDX, I'd love to hear!

Thanks for checking it out! Yeah, I was pretty surprised to see the final package was less than 4 mb. What kind of overhead have you experienced with unity3d?

First I want to say that Unity3D is good tool.
But for me, project with one texture 1024x1024 and few sounds was around 25mb. Is critical for people who have bad mobile internet

Ahh, that's interesting. Since I used pixel art, I was able to keep my textures quite small, and I only used about 4 small sound files.

This is my first Android app, I did it with a colleague from the university, this is version 1.1, and it allow you to play the classic game against Android, or play online against your friends, the only thing you need to do is register and start playing.
We need to have 5000 downloads until next week to get a bonus on our grade. We appreciate if you can test it and suggest something.
BattleShip - Android Market
We improved our server the online game is now a little faster
Hey fellas, dropping by to let ya know this app has been featured on the XDA Portal.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/simple-online-based-battleship-game-for-android/
Good luck on your grade!
Great idea! two short comments:
1.) DPad doesn't work on Galaxy Nexus.
2.) Would be great to play with specific friends, not random.
Thanks for your hard work!
Hey guys, nice game. One small suggestion, please do away with the single cell ship. It takes pure luck to hit it. Game drags on at the end when you have to just start dropping bombs on every single cell.
Thanks for the game!
First things first, fun game! I love a good game of Battleship.
I want to echo the above poster's suggestion of doing away with 1x1 ships... they're more or less luck, haha.
My other suggestion is to make the placing of ships a drag-n-drop action. It was kinda awkward using the D-pad to move around and place ships.
All in all, very well done! I will be advertising this to friends.
Nice! Game of all times

What phone do you have? Some people are having troubles with small resolutions, we will try to solve it in the next release.
However u can still play without the arrows, u can generate a random map by pushing the menu button. To shot u can set a position directly on the grid.
Thanks for your feedback

We release a new version on market, to correct some minor bugs.
The game was redesigned for small resolutions like 240x320 and 320x480, as you can see on pictures bellow.
We are now working to turn it faster and with better controls.
Give us your feedback

How hard was developing the online aspect of the game? Its something I've always wanted to try.

Android Free Puzzle Game - Jeweroll

We introduce to you a new puzzle game that you won’t be able to complete at a stretch, of course if you are not a braniac. At the given moment game consists of 20 levels, but the quantity and difficulty will keep rising regularly. If you find those levels easy just wait, we already have ideas how to make even more challenging levels. And what’s more exiting? This game is free and will stay free, so don’t waste your time and download it now. Don’t waste our patience!
Rules of the game are pretty simple; you just need to place the jewels in the center of the screen just like it is shown on the right corner image. For that to happen, just press on one of the jewels and six jewels surrounding it will turn. Pretty simple, right? So why are you still reading this, go try it out and see how far you can get.

Thanks !
Actually the penguin is a clone of TinyWings:
https://itunes.apple.com/il/app/tiny-wings/id417817520?mt=8
this is the original game of that type.
Im learning game programming, so Tiny Wings was my inspiration.
next game will be - Pizza delivery with a motorcycle. it should be a lot more original and fun! (based on box2d physics too)
looking nice, will test it soon.
I have added multiplayer mode, tell me what you think
Have a look for paperboy, it was a great game from my old school childhood *grin
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lNk4-Up1aws
Could also a interesting project and this will definitely have allot of fans i think
Hi,
Your game has potential.
Here's the hint - use randomly generated graphics (from small pngs for example) - use them in drawing clouds, background.
It's good to use as much CPU and GPU power as possible. Gameplay might be good but graphics are important- they draw attention.
Animations are also essential to make eyes happy. While player go above clouds they could generate some small cloud/fog particles.
After you do that you might get even 100k downloads in next few months.
If you achive success through my opinion don't hesitate to contact me - [email protected].
Write engine's name you've used - I have some experiance in free ones like AndEngine or libGDX.
Regards,
Andrew

Congrats! Your game is on XDA Portal: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/slip-and-slide-your-way-through-tsunami-run/ :good:
nice game
instead of what a member has posted earlier, i would like to suggest to keep the game as simple as possible, least possible use of cpu n gpu, coz this is a time killer game, it would be nice if battery lasts for longer duration
Dragon fly?

Actually its been deliberately done, to give it a classic look.
As the game play is not real physics based but comic style to create high speed game play.
Thanks

Great fun
Really enjoyed it on my Nexus 10!
Nice game and very good gameplay
Fun game ! Nice gameplay, reminds of old retro style Asphalt mobile games when Android didn't even exist ! Keep up with the good work !
Was pretty fun
not used to the way steering using my device but it worked out great
I like the look
Checkout my app: BackMusic it's a music quiz wäre you habe to guess your music in reverse.
Nice game!
I'm not used to play this kind of games, but as a user with no experience I can tell it's nice. Graphics are ok, and gameplay is good. Maybe the difficulty scales up a bit too fast (at least for me xD), and the ads are a bit too intrusive, but I understant that. I rate 4 stars. Good job!
50,000 downloads in less than a month!!! :good:
Any marketing tips?
what was your marketing budget? :silly:
Try my game here: Here
I love the retro graphics.
Thank you!!
Thanks guys,
Really appreciate your comments and feedback.

[GAME][2.3+]Pixie Jump - My first game, please give me a feedback

Hello all,
My name is Gianni Salvatore and I'm 18, I really like the Android world, and for weeks I was developing this game, I'm not very good development, but I tried anyway. You who are more experienced than me, give me advice on how to improve it? Thank you all!

this is really nice,and the UI is not bad too!
This is a really good game, I'm surprised it is your first one. It is really fun to play and is a great if you have just a few minutes to kill and you don't want to do anything too heavy. Is there a way to save the level you reach or do you always have to start back on level 1?
can't believe it is your first game !!!!!!!
Very professional work. Funny game and graphics.

Always start back on level 1 because it is only an index of difficulty.
Anyway, thank you all, really !

No, i haven't used Unity3D, i have used Citrus (game engine opensource and free) and i have downloaded the art from opengameart.
Anyway, I updated the game , eliminating the lag (present for my mistake).

Could you explain to me how could be more various and changing pleeease?
Anyway, i think that the pause button not much use, there would be no time to pause the game , you will lose, but it's just my thoughts.
