[GAME][2.2+] Aqua Balls, great little game

Hello fellow XDA folks! I'm happy to announce that my brother and I have just published our first game on Google play. We aren't a real company, we made this in our spare time after work. So just about as indie developer as you can get.
Aqua Balls is a portrait-mode tilting super fill-up game. It's simple but we think it's polished. You press and hold to grow the Aqua Balls, and the goal is to fill up the screen with them. Angry Balls pop your Aqua Balls as they are growing, but once they are complete they become invulnerable. There's a few worlds right now with different game mechanics but we will add more as we think of ideas. We think it's a lot of fun and pretty decent looking.
This is a free ad-supported game and I promise, no malware or airpush.
Download link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.woggle.aquaballs
Description:
Help the Aqua Balls expand and defend the seafloor!
The Aqua Balls are under attack by Angry Balls! Expand Aqua Balls to fill the screen by pressing and holding on the screen. Tilt your device to shift things around, trap the Angry Balls in small places, and help the Aqua Balls defend the seafloor! Fill the screen at least two thirds full with Aqua Balls to win. There are multiple areas to play in with different game rules for each area, and 12 levels per area. Challenge yourself to get 4 stars on every level in every area!
Aqua Balls is a portrait-mode puzzle game based on Super Fill-Up.

Comments, suggestions, downloads, and play store ratings greatly appreciated!

I personally have played this for hours (I'm the OP's brother - helped develop it), and I still find it to be entertaining. I hope that somebody here will enjoy it too! Give us a shout if you have any comments!

We just updated to 1.0.2!
- Added cloud backup (Google Cloud Storage) of savegame data
- Added facebook integration (more to come)
- Added a level number display at the beginning of each level
- Some bugfixes to background animations in world 2
Anybody have a chance to give it a try yet?

I installed this and played it for a while. I can tell that you guys really put a lot of effort into polishing it, I'm impressed. Of the games that I've seen forum-spammed lately, this is one of my favorites (I think I'll be leaving it installed). I think I might play this quite a bit. I have a few comments:
* You should add a QR download code to your first post
* I see (via addons detector) that you're only using AndEngine, AdMob, NDK, and Analytics so I'm happy to say that it looks like your game is clean there
* Everything is nice and snappy. How do you avoid having a delay while you load the levels? It feels instantaneous.
* You should add a video to your play store page
* Your credits dialog is a little ugly, but I guess that's not really that important (everything else looks great)
How are you rendering the "light rays" in the background? Do they use shaders?
Good work guys!

Hey slurmee, thanks for the comments. We pre-load the assets for the whole game at startup, that's why it feels so snappy. As far as the light rays, they're just a translucent sprite that we sweep over the background, we initially experimented with shaders, but found the sprite method to be simpler and just as effective.

My brother's been too busy to add a QR code to the top post, so here's one you can use for now:

Game should work on tablets, but I've not tested it - I've no such device.

Smoother graphics?
Have you ever thought about smoothing the explosion?

Thanks for response. You're talking about the sprite animations?

Big performance update
New version of my game Stones is available - I've made huge performance upgrade. Game runs much smoother!
Guys, I really need some opinions about this... On play store I've received some nice ratings, but Your opinion (especially the other Developers) is very important for me. What about idea? Game mechanics? I'll be greatful for any response.

German language is now supported, also I've remove some ads - there was a little bug, which caused ads looping in some cases. Enjoy!

Updated OP
Just updated OP with current screenshots, also changelogs are now up to date. Cheers!

humble graphics but idea seems great
Simple games like this fit well for mobile devices. I think this could have potential. How ever I would add more eye-candy into graphics. Games like Candy Crush Saga were partly so successful because the sounds and graphics are so satisfying. Keep going!

Thanks alot downloaded and a installed

Graphics is one of my Achilles' heel - I do not know too much on creating a good and eye-candy graphics... I've 3 or 4 ideas before current one, one worse than the other. I'll check this out once again...

Waiting for Your feedback!

A new version with completely redesigned menus and dialogs is available to download. Check this out! I've also prepared all game graphics in higher resolution, so the game looks much better now.

Stones are updated couple of times, there are lot of improvements. Also I noticed some nice reviews and ratings in Google Play Store - check it out, maybe You'll find it interesting!

My first try resulted in endless waiting (imago screen). I had to close the app and open again. But after that I found no bugs. The idea is simple and nice. Gratz.

I have no idea, what can goes wrong with 'imago' screen, I haven't such feedback recently. Glad You enjoyed my game Cheers!

[GAME][2.3+] Flat Frenzy | A game inspired by WarioWare

[GAME][2.3+] Flat Frenzy
Information
This is a game I've been working with on my free time for a couple of months and I've just released it on Play! It's a fast paced game consisting of a chain of minigames which increase in speed as you progress. The minigames are 3-5 seconds long and have very simple goals. After three wins the speed goes up, and it gets very challenging after a while! It's heavily inspired by the WarioWare series but adapted for touchscreens and with a simplistic, flat design. There are built in Google Play Leaderboards so you can compete against your friends and the rest of the world!
The game is free on Google Play and can be downloaded here. If you want to get the latest updates before anyone else and also help me developing the game, consider joining the Flat Frenzy Alpha group on Google+. This will enable you to get the alpha builds of the game and test out new features before anyone else.
More minigames and features are planned and will be released soon. However, don't hesitate to come with your own suggestions for new minigames or features, I want all the feedback I can get! Please also report any bugs in this thread or in an email to [email protected]

New version uploaded! This version brings a new minigame called "Pound". It should be live for everyone in a few hours.

Forgot to publish the leaderboards so they only worked for alpha testers. They have been published now though and should work for everyone!

I like it. But I thinks the graphics could look better. Shinier colors for example. And the shadow doesn't match with the flat design.

I think it has good potential and it feels like one of those game which makes you keep playing for longer than you had originally planned. It gets you frustrated when you lose (in a good way). I'm looking forward to more competition from more people in the leaderboards.

Thank you! The style is supposed to be kinda flat and papery. I might change the colors a bit though and maybe make some new lighting effects.

Thank you! Yeah, I agree it has the "I know I can do better, just one more time" feel to it. The number of people on the leaderboards is slowly increasing, and they're getting better and better scores too

New version!
Lots of sounds added! Sound effects for every minigame and arcade background music. These can be toggled in the settings. Also added a "Relax" minigame which will show up every now and then. It has no objective, you simply win automatically after 4 seconds. It's used for getting a small break mid-game where you can breathe or adjust your posture or something without having to pause.
Also fixed two bugs, one where the game would crash on some devices when entering settings, and one where the game would crash when pressing home button or switching to another application.
Please tell me what you think and what you'd like to see in the future! I'm open to all suggestions

Very nice game! Reminds me of Dumb Ways to Die, but the minigames show even more variety! One bug I encountered: when I click on Leaderboards, nothing happens.

Thank you! Haven't played Dumb Ways to Die before but I tried it out now and I agree, it's the same sort of genre.
I had that leaderboard bug before on my N7 and it was really weird. I believe it's a bug in the Google Play API because everything in my code was working fine. It was like the "connect" method of the Google Play API didn't do anything, no errors either, it was just like the function instantly returned. Anyway, I fixed it by rebooting my device and then it worked again which is even stranger!

Very fun, fast paced game so need to pay attention. Quite addicting

New version!
Changelog:
- New main menu!
- Added "Stats" button which shows your stats for all minigames.
- Added new minigame "Trap".
- Added more text to "About" section.
- Added a simple tutorial first time you play.
- Added an "are you sure?" dialog when "Main menu" button is pressed in pause menu.
- Fixed "Relax" not resetting between new games.
If you try it out, please let me know what you think! I see a lot more people on the leaderboards now which is awesome!

New version!
There is now a proper tutorial in the game. I also added symbols to give you a better hint on what to do for each minigame!
Changelog
- Added minigame "Jump!"
- Added arrows and tap symbols to all minigames to make the objective easier to understand.
- Added a tutorial the first time you hit "Play" which explains the new symbols (users that updated from an older version wont see this, please clear the data for the app if you wish to see the tutorial).
- Added an arrow to clearly show when the game speeds up.
- Made the pointer in "Set clock" easier to grab.
- Enabled anti-aliasing on text.
- Miscellaneous bug fixes.

[Game][2.2+] 120

[Free][Game] 120
Hello,
my name is Gianni Salvatore and i'm an Italian developer.
I wanted to present my game (I've made even more with the name Multicolor Games) but now I have changed the name to MayoApp.
The name of the game is 120. The game is really simple, perhaps there are already thousands, but I wanted to introduce him anyway. I was inspired by the style of material design (flat) to create this.
The aim of the game (like many others) is to score by pressing on the screen to blow the ball.
Here's the screenshoot:

Hi Gianni,
Nice job with this app. I like the style, which is something you Italians always do well!
Here's what I think you did right:
- I like that I could skip the Google Game / G+ login methods and the game still works.
- the game play is good
- nice colors, icon, etc.
One area to think about is the frequency of advertising. When I first get the app I'm still trying to figure out what's going on and how to play the game. My ball drops in 4 seconds and an ad shows. OK fine. But then I try again and the ball drops in 4 seconds - I'm really bad at the game still - and then another ad. I do this a few times and I end up getting 5 ads shown to me in less than 30 seconds. I'd suggest you wait maybe 1 or 2 mins, or 5 game plays, or something like that, before starting the ads. To summarize, keep advertising, but give new users a minute or two to get addicted.
Best of luck with 120!

Pretty good, nice design!

Nice graphics

Thanks so much,
I also I realized that advertising is too frequent and invasive fact now I'm posting an update in which the advertising is displayed every 4 times. Very soon I'll post a store where you can buy different balls, you have suggestions?
Anyway,
thank you very much to all. For any suggestions, bugs, or to add other things to the game i'm here!

every 4th time
GIanni,
That sounds good. An ad every 4 times would be easy to implement and you should hopefully see longer play time as a result.

You should rework your German screenshots. They don't make any sense. It is the same with the Store description. If you can't (or don't want to) afford professional translation services you should look at crowd translation services. Often you will have a lot of users who are multi-lingual and happy to help.
