Hi,
We need advice about our new game, Head Pong. It is based on the classic Pong but can be controlled by turning your head to the
right and to the left, not being necessary to touch the screen. We need help since we're using a new technology we've developed and we don't know if it will work fine on other devices (we've only tested it on about 10).
We'd like you to test our game and tell us if it works ok on your device. It would also be nice if you could tell us how this game could be improved and what else we could develop with this new technology.
Find it on Google Play: "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rk92apps.headpong.android&hl=en"
Awesome
Hey, I tried your game on my Nexus 5 and works really fine. It was pretty surprising to play a game without touching the screen.
Nice job. Keep it up!
Little support for you bcs game is great! https://www.saznajnovo.com/2015/09/android-head-pong-igrica/ (my blog have 1000+ visitors per day, I hope this article will help )
And yes, can you add option to adjust sensitivity? It's too fast.
Followed your advice
Hi Voterx,
Thank you very much for your advice and for writing that article about my game. I just wanted to tell you that I followed your advice and
I have implemented a motion sensitivity control in the game. It is accessible from the menu screen.
Thanks again.
Great
Your game is awesome and works smooth on my Nexus 6. Maybe a Man vs Computer game mode would be nice.
Hi, johannez,
Thanks for your advice.
Nice
I loved your game. It's very hard at the beginning
but then you get used.
Thank you charlees. I'm glad that you liked it.

I sent an email to them asking if they (Alphanoize Games) could optimize the game for Xperia Play Controls.
answer:
Hello
we're happy to hear you like our game (we love it too ! For the XPeria controls, we cannot say if and when we include them. Currently we want to adapt the current version for all common Android devices, which is very tricky !
As soon as we have any updates, we'll spread it via Google+/Facebook/Twitter, so feel free to follow us there !
Have a nice weekend,

They dont even need to optimize it for the Play specifically, all they have to do is make the generic android d-pad and d-pad center buttons work with the controls. It would take them 5 minutes. After that response I am tempted to just do it my self. GRRRRRRR........ Found myself a new project.
looks like i am going to have to modify the game engine itself for this to work, I know what I need to do, but I have no experience translating touch input to keyboard input. I have some reading to do. Hopefully I can do a quick and dirty Xperia Play port.
keep going , I've juste finish super meat boy on pc (light world) .
I've try cheese man and it's smell like smb ^^ , it would be great with xperia play pad.
Thanks in advance.
great when combined with gamekeyboard.

How did you get it working? Everytime I launch the game it goes into portrait mode and causes issues.
nevermind, i got it, this games is a thousand times better with gamekeyboard! Holy crap, we have Super Meat Boy on our Plays!!
indeed, difficulty goes up and down as it goes along, 3 cheesed the whole game within a couple of hours playing on and off, dunno how the hell you would do some of those levels on touch screen only tbh...
It says it's not compatible!
I'm using Darkforest 3.0.5 if that helps.
It's confusing because it's compatible with my LG Vortex, that is a VERY low end device too...
Here's another Super Meat Boy style game. Maybe there is someone interested.
Mini Dash ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playcreek.MiniDashFree )
Game is now optimized for our Xperia Play.The controls are in Beta stadium. Please email dev for constructive feedback on controls and gameplay. Multiplayer features will be added in the future.

Lets keep our fingers crossed..I may buy it now just to play it....looks freaking sweet.
Edit: oh yeah, XP controls would be awesome for this....I like it...
Edit2: eh, needs some more work, but it can become really awesome...needs a tutorial for one thing, even if it is just a button tapped/masher heh.

So, after intensive talking with the developer we will get Xperia Play controls. Don´t know if it´s a seperate version or integrated in the version i´ve bought.
If anyone is interested in this game and wants to improve the experience with this game please email the devs. They are really nice and if you give constructive feedback, they will implement the suggestions you made. :good:

Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
did you stress the importance of touchpads?
@rubbergnome
Yes, i recommended the devs to use the touchpads. The only problem is that they don´t have a Xperia Play for testing purpose. So we must play Beta testers and give them advices when something isn´t working right.:silly: But hey, they do it!
i'm available to beta test anything if it's about optimization hehe. There are links from sony about touchpads anyway. I sent them to the aralon team and the realms of fortune developer. You can find them via XperiaPlayGamer, from the "how to optimize" page to the sony site to the touchpad articles.
by the way, the camera in this game is kinda awful since you just can't control it. It slowly adjusts itself behind the character each time. So heh
Its very bad...
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
So i got a test apk from the dev and i´ve tested the controls. It works good. You use X,Square and Triangle for sword attack. Circle is for a fireball attack. D-pad is used for moving. Left Trigger to run, Right Trigger to sneak.
However, the game does not use touchpads at the moment. I recommended the Zeus developer to the dev for touchpad controls. If anyone is here who wants to help out or has experience with touchpads controls please email the dev! If you want test apk, please also email the dev since i´m not allowed to distribute it. Please give feedback!
Free Camera patch comes this week.Also recommended them to implement the controls, game launcher support, as fast as possible.
@ Gtsito
What is bad exactly?`Please tell. Also email dev since negative feedback can make games better

Hello mate. As I was testing the game and did not like. The simple graphics, design in general and of the enemies is very rough, but if the color is good. The control is very rough, the camera is insane, the gameplay is very simple button mashing and sometimes you miss the enemy, or animations of the attacks are bad. No enemies stop coming all the time and the game lacks depth, and which go somewhere, something more adventurous.
No, that's the impression I gave. Maybe I felt bad but after playing the fabulous Aralon ... hehe. Granted it has a good base and if she could work more on anything good. Anyway it is appreciated that the control pad adapted xperia.
I have read that have improved the camera, so I'll try again to see such. (I uninstalled)
Without wishing to criticize, just to help my honest opinion as a lover of video games. a greeting
I agree with you Gtsito, there is room for improvments. The camera isn´t good and it´s annoying that a lot of enemies spawn at the beginning of a level and after that there aren´t a lot them. Maybe they can improve more.
Also, the developer says that a lot of fixes and optimations will come till saturday. So stay tuned and check Play Store for more updates.
Oh, good news. Actually I played the first version released and uninstalled it knowing that would come out more updates. Then I will consider further improvements and prove it.
Thank you, greetings

Wow thanks for pushing them TLR
I´m gonna update thread, ok? And thanks TLRtheory for xperiaplaygamer.net and the article "Optimize your game". Was helpful for dev. Keep up the good community work!!!
P.S. By the way i´m P.G.
testing the real thing
yep it is better now with the gamepad and it responds better than the test version
the test apk had a fireball attack and 3 sword attacks,no fireball or maybe its later on...this one has 4 sword attacks
also the camera is still and doesn't rotate ,or i did not figure how to do it from the game
i like the 4 sword animations and would like to see some kind of chain combo animation with the button layout
sort of RPG Soulcaliber
of course that's just me
Hi all,
I've been developing my game for a couple of years now (you reallly can't underestimate how long these things take when done in your spare time!)
I've finally released it, so would be interested in the feedback of you knowledgeable bunch. The game is called Finger Shepherd and is a sheep herding game with 3D graphics. As you know, there's only so many devices I can test on myself so any bugs / issues / suggestions / feedback would be greatly appreciated.
The package is called "shibby.fingershepherd"; if someone else could post the URL for me I'd be grateful!
Mod Edit: Here you go
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=shibby.fingershepherd
Some screenshots attached.
Thanks for any feedback you can provide!
Lewis (Shibby)
good game it's really fun
Nice work! Love it!
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
This is quite interesting.
And I find that the sheep there are so lovable.:laugh:
Thanks - much appreciated!
I've had a few comments that the difficulty is too high on some of the water levels. The drop-off rate through the online leaderboards seems to support this, so I'm planning to make a few tweaks...
Finger Shepherd Updated
I have now published an update. Any more feedback, please let me know and I'll work to improve the game
Changelog:
Much needed tweaking of difficulty on a number of levels
Lighting bugfix
Tip display bugfix on smaller screens
Performance optimised on certain devices
You can now unlock one of the minigames by sharing on twitter
The new version is displayed as 1.0.2.
I'd appreciate it if any users here would have a go at enabling Gree and logging some scores to the leaderboards - this uses 3rd party code that could do with as much testing as possible ( much like my own code really )
When screen turns off after you win the game goes to pause menu from which you can only restart or go back to game youve already won. Otherwise very nice game
Hi,
Just letting you know that the game has been updated again! Target times have been adjusted again based on user feedback. Also there is a brand new minigame called "The Maze" waiting for you to play :victory:
Very fun and nice idea ! I had my finger on the screen when it first started it took me by surprise
The game runs smooth and very well, I just noticed that you are allowing the user to change some stuff that as developers we use mostly to debug such as the FPS which in my opinion you can make it (even as a setting) disabled and invisible to the user. Much better UX in my opinion
Also, It worked well on a relatively low end device = ), didn't expect that as it is 3D
Again nice game and well done! Left you a comment on GP for support : )
Really nice game. Looks like all your time and effort paid off.
Thanks folks, I'm chuffed you like the game The feedback is useful and I intend to keep up with the updates.

Thanks for the great review. I started the game (just checked) in April 2011, so it's designed to work on the devices that were popular back then at a minimum.

I'm glad you like it! I'm not totally convinced that it's paid off, however It's so difficult to get downloads - very few per day, and it's on its way down the rankings at the moment. Hard to see where new downloads will come from... It's incredibly competitive in the play store nowadays - might be a different story if I had released it 2 years ago.
Sorry, don't mean to sound too depressed about it! It's been a fun experience developing the game and I'm already thinking about the next one
good game it's really fun
but graphics makes my cry

Hi Everyone!
Spinball is a game that requires reflections, precision and a bit of luck!
You must score more goals than your opponent (or opponents, you can also play 2 vs 2!)
You can play alone, but this game gives its best if played with friends...it's one of those games which can end a friendship^^
It's possible to choose different game fields and balls (more in future), and thoso choiches will customize the game experience.
Try it! if you like it, give 5 stars and tell your friend! If you find any problems, please tell me by email, i made this game all alone, and maybe i missed something^^
Thank you guyz and sorry if my english is bad!
force close while loading to menu,but nice idea a little bit laggy while playing..but i love it keep up good work (Y)
Thanks man!
I noticed that bug yesterday evening, but i was tired, now i'm fixin it!
sometimes it lags when i play with my 3 friends, it freezes a little bit on 1-3 sec..btw its awesome game and a great idea
can you add setting to play 2 on 1
Bounce Out
I just released a new puzzle game, please check it out on Google Play here (free, no ads):
Bounce Out - Google Play
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.
