[GAME][1.6+] Binary Sudoku 1.0.8

Hi xda,
I'm new here, but wanted to post my first game to get some more feedback.
Android Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rickboerebach.android.binarysudoku
The game is free, has no ads, requires no permissions and currently has 100 puzzles, which guarantee about 8-12 hours of puzzle time
The Binary Puzzle:
The binary puzzle is a new and challenging logic puzzle that you can solve by
reasoning. Only zeros and ones occur in the puzzle, but this turns out to be
more complicated than it seems to be. This app offers binary puzzles of various
sizes and levels. A last warning: The binary puzzle is quite addictive.
Rules:
Each cell should contain a zero or a one. No more than two similar numbers
below or next to each other are allowed. Each row and each column is unique
and contains as many zeros as ones.

Version 1.0.9 released.
Updates:
-Bug fixes

Great Feel free to suggest features / changes.

I've been waiting for a binary sudoku app for literally months. Thank you, sir, for bringing this awesome puzzle game to my phone at last!
Will install immediately, and report back on how I like it.

Great idea!
Here's a link for the lazy people:

Thanks for the replies. If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to post
Just updated to version 1.2.0 with OpenFeint highscores & achievements (suggestions for achievements are welcome)!

Nice game!
Good job man.

Thanks for creating this app! I love puzzle apps that rely more on the puzzle and less on the graphics & sounds!
Installing it now & will let you know.
EDIT: Going through the easy levels & loving the simple logic used (so far, simple
Questions
Each row & each column is unique - I presume that you can have the same sequence of numbers in a row & a column (just not 2 rows with the same sequence)? I haven't hit it yet, but want to know for when I hit them.
Are the solutions unique? Can each one be solved strictly with logic (ie, no guess needed to go on)?
Is this your own puzzle idea? I can't say I've heard of it before (will google shortly)
Thanks again!

Nice game -- just played through some easy levels. Definitely a fun little game.

Cool! You can add "easy" or "beginner" level

I'm really bad at sudoku, but I'm willing to give this one a shot since it's binary

Looks like a very solid app. However, would it be possible to add the functionality of adding your own puzzles? Like in OpenSudoku, where you can create your own sudoku from a blank grid; that way you can copy a puzzle from the newspaper that someone else has already filled in, for example, and still do it yourself.
That, and more puzzles, would be awesome.

Yeah, you can have the same sequence of numbers in a row and column and solutions are unique and can be solved strictly with logic.
Sadly, it's not my own puzzle idea i saw a puzzlebook with this type of puzzles at the local magazine store and pretty much got addicted. Tho, a puzzlebook is not convenient in the train etc, and there was no app for it. I'm a developer myself and decided to invest a day of work in making my personal traveling more fun, and introducing this puzzle to the rest of the Android world

App Review
This apps looks great. I'm going to download this and review it on my blog (Android Cowboy) as soon as I can. I'll put the link once it's posted. Hopefully it will help get you more downloads .

Thanks for writing a post on the frontpage, didn't expect it to be reviewed This will definitely boost downloads!
Also, thanks to everybody who downloaded (and rated/reviewed) the game

Yeah, great idea. I want to implement more community aspects, but I first want to see how things turn out. If the game gets popular, I can get a dedicated server and write an API backend for these kind of things

Hey, rickboerebach
Thanks a lot for your efforts. Your game is very amusing. It's, indeed, pretty addictive!
Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the harder the level, it gets easier to reach more than one solution, but your application accepts one of them only.
Thanks again, anyway.
Best regards,
Carlos

Glad you like it. Each puzzle only has one solution People tend to forget the row/column uniqueness rule, maybe you overlooked that one? Each row has to be unique and each column has to be unique. Tho, you can have the same sequence of numbers in a row and a column.

Oops, you're right! Had forgotten that rule!
Thanks, again.

I downloaded your game and played a few levels, it's simple but challenging.
I really like it, I'm going to spend some more time with it at the university tomorrow.

[GAME][2.3.3+] Magic Land - The hardest game ever !

Hello everyone!
I'd love to introduce you to one of my game called "Magic Land"!
Some basic information about the game:
The game uses the ANDENGINE with the following extensions:
- Limbo
- TMXTiledMapExtension
- PixelPerfectCollisionDetection
- GooglePlayServices.
Game features:
There are a total of 45 levels (3 worlds, 15 levels each). Worlds 1 and 2 are easy-ish, however, world 3 is really hard, it's going to take you some time and thinking to complete it.
You can save your time and deaths counter for each level and compare them with other players from all around the globe. You can also log in to the Google+ services and see your and others results on the Google Play platform.
Controls are really easy, you can choose one out of two available options, which are ANALOG and DIGITAL. Using the DIGTAL setting you can move your character up, down, left and right. Using the ANALOG setting you can move your character up, down, left, right and diagonally.
If you can, please, download my game, rate it, and leave your comment. Constructive criticism is always appreciated, as it helps me improve! If you find any bugs feel free to forward them to me, thanks!

Thank you and enjoy!

Good game, only thing that could be really improved is the way the item is controlled. (Joystick)

Cool game. Addictive.
But it is really difficult to control the square. And in my opinion it is the main difficulty of the game.

I just rated your game under username "BudMccrud.
Can you check out my game, and tell me what you think? http://bit.ly/1utlvFV
Also, I think you should make the box move a bit faster. I agree with the earlier comment, regarding the joystick control being hard.

yeah right now there's a bug with the back button. Just close the app, and register using an email. You don't need Facebook to login.

So dificult . Like the other user said, the joystick controls are a little bad, but thats the only problem !

Nice!
I think that it is really good! What markets for ads do you use?

Great game! Landscape really is more engaging than portrait for games.

Please let me know your suggestions and feedback regarding this game, thanks!!!
Video of gameplay:
From the Play Store:
After the splash screen, just flap up and down to fling away obstacles (and right for hill) for Lily, the cute (really?) alien pet that looks like a pair of glasses that has terrible eyesight (duh!). She escaped from her owner and wanted to be free. Fling away obstacles for her and she will be free~
HOW TO PLAY:
You have 20 seconds, and you gain a little bit of time swiping the right way.
Swipe up for Christmas Trees (I know it's not Christmas yet...).
Swipe down for light poles.
Swipe right for hills.
Make sure you swipe the right way, good luck!

Pretty fun, I gave it a 5 star. This would be a good app to put Google+ leaderboards in.

Thank you!
I will try to implement Google+ leaderboard in my next update in a few days.

I am seeking ways to implement Google+ leaderboard and a new update will be released in a few days. Let me know if you have any suggestion!
UPDATE:
*Be honest with you all, I tried to implement it and it simply gives me numerous errors during testing, and I finally gave up. Unfortunately Google has released an update on their "Google Play Services" and the engine/framework I used (Libgdx) doesn't seem to go along. I will try to do that in the future, and I am sorry for my other "announcement."

I initially thought this was a game for google wearable. Will install it and let you know.

Please doLet me know your suggestion!:fingers-crossed:

I will (I will!) release an update soon so the graphics will be improved.

Major Update to Version 3.2:
*I updated the fonts and sounds so that the game is less "flappy bird-ish."
*The objects are now less pixelated.
*The game will load during the splash screen, so "Loading, please wait..." will no longer shows up.

[GAME][2.3+] Bad Tap (fast paced tap game)

I just released a major update to my game, please check it out on the Google Play Store here (free, no ads):
Bad Tap - Google Play
Bad Tap is a fast-paced 'beat the clock' type game that will challenge your hand-eye coordination.
Tap each block before it counts down to zero. Starts with one block and increases as you level up. But watch out, one bad tap and the game is over!

Fun game! I'm trying really hard to unlock the hard level.

Had fun playing around with it for a while. Spotted a bug with the tutorial screen.
If you haven't already seen it, let me know here or in a PM and I can give you more
details if you need them.

Hi Scianthrope, thanks for the comments. Yes, any information on the bug would be very helpful!

Yesss finally got to the hard level. Now I'm trying to beat everyone on your leaderboard!

Corrected a bug that would not allow users to properly close the tutorial when playing for the first time. I published it to Google Play and the update should appear in the next hour.
Thanks to Scianthrope for identifying the bug, this is what this forum is all about!

Hi
Hi

Thanks 1DEA. I'll play around with the transition of the menu and make it smoother.

Very addictive and from time to time challenging game. Good for people that want to break their own limits ^^. Good Job!!
I Thing that if You add some better graphics, maybe something more colorfull it would be better perceived by players xD but it's only my opinion.

Bounce Out
I just released a new puzzle game, please check it out on Google Play here (free, no ads):

Short demo:
Tap the white tiles to add and rotate shapes. Bounce the ball through the exit to solve each puzzle. Buttons, bombs, ghosts, and more. Can you master the game and earn all 90 stars?
Making games isn't my day job, it's something I do as an outlet for creative expression. My post here is simply to share that expression with as many others as I can. I hope you find my games unique and enjoyable. Of course, they may not be perfect so any feedback is greatly welcome!

Yes! I've been waiting for this game.
Just downloaded it, the graphics are really clean and fun. I'll keep playing and let you know more.

Thanks upita, please share with your friends. Just trying to reach as many people as I can, no interest in making a profit.

So I've been playing the past 3 days and here's my update for you.
I got through the easy and medium levels. I must say, awesome stuff! The difficulty in game play increases at a good rate. The music is relaxing, but most of the time I just mute it and put my own ambient music on in the background.
I like the gameplay, it's like no other apps I've played. The closest thing I can think of is Chip's Challenge from Windows 98, was this any influence?
Anyways great work, I look forward to trying the hard levels now.

Pretty good game, nice !

nice game! good graphics , looking forward a new update!

Nice
I love the game
Great job

good application, good gameplay , really well done!

Hey,
I liked the demo video
However, I didn't install as I am confused as to why 'location' is required as permission
Could you clarify?

Thank you for pointing this out! There is absolutely no reason the app would require location service. I was using similar build settings to a different app I was working on and forgot to remove this setting. I have corrected the permissions and am now releasing update 1.5.
I will let you know once Google Play has Version 1.5 available.
