[GAME] Color Confusion

Hi all,
I just developed my first game, Color Confusion http://bit.ly/kSX8go, and hope folks here get a chance to check it out. Any feedback is welcome.
Being my first game, there are probably things that could be done better, but my tesing group (wife and kids =) seem to really enjoy playing it.
We have an Asus Transformer, so optimizing for tablets/honeycomb was important to us.
UPDATE:
Color Confusion Game Trailer: http://bit.ly/jU7HXE
Description
See if you have what it takes to solve each level, by mixing a wide array of colors into cans of paint. Don’t be fooled as gameplay starts off easy, with a small number of colors. As you progress, it becomes pure Color Confusion!
* USER REVIEWS *
- “Very fun! Makes you actually think!”
- “Good for passing time. Fun! Very nice.!”
- “This game is a ton of fun! It seems so simple but it very challenging.”
FEATURES:
** Optimized Honeycomb 3.0 support
** HD Tablet resolution graphics included
** Supports lower resolution devices as well
** Never the same game twice
** Great game for teaching kids how to mix colors
** High score tracking for each level
** Seemingly easy at first glance, but becomes additively difficult
** In-app help included
** Atmospheric background music
** Free version includes first four levels
** Free version includes ads

awesome, ill have to check it out. good work.

luciferii, thanks for the kind words.

I submitted this app to Amazon, and it has been approved. Anyone know how long it takes to "go-live" on Amazon? It has been a couple of days in approved status...but no way I can tell to make it go live. Does Amazon do automatically?

Hi Funny idea for a game.
I've noticed that I went too many times for the obvious choice, like for green I was mixing a darker green with a lighter color instead of mixing blue and yellow.
I've got two minor recommendation:
If you go to play, help or scores and press the back button, it exits the game. I should expect that it would go back to the main menu.
When pressing the remix button it directly remixes the colors. On a tablet touching this by accident isn't really the case, but when playing it on for instance the bus on your phone it can happen. A are you sure dialog can avoid this.

It's rather good Could you make the sample of the colour we have to match bigger? It is a tad small when playing on a phone.

Hi,
Tricky Design, thanks for the great feedback! For the help/score exiting the game, I was able to replicate that as well. I fixed that bug in an update (see below version history). That was a good catch! The re-mix is also a good idea, I will put that in my next update!
Isadora, Thanks for the great feedback as well! I will for sure make the swatch colors bigger on the next build.
Really appreciate you all checking it out, feel free to spread the word if you like it...being my first game...it is hard getting it "off the ground"
For reference, here are the updates I have done so far...most are based on user feedback...I am really trying to address user feedback
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.2
1. Based on user feedback, added option to mute background music (new icon on main menu)
2. Minor changes to Ad sizing for some devices
3. More performance improvements
Version 1.1
1. Based on user feedback, adjusted difficulty levels
2. Performance improvements
3. New "free" icon, to distinguish paid from free if both installed
4. Increased Color Palette size and buttons, to make play easier on phones
5. Fixed bug with game exiting when hitting menu button on scores and help.
Version 1.0
1. Initial Release

Color Confusion was featured on Blamza.com http://bit.ly/jfnGxB !
"Simple but addictive...excellent game...try it out" -Blamza.com

It seems that the paid (ad-free) version still has the ad code involved somewhere, because it still wants internet and unique identifier permissions. That's something of a turn-off.

Hi ResonanceZero,
Thanks for the feedback.
The paid version has the Ad stuff removed...however, this was built with Corona SDK, and that permission is added during their "build" process. I will do some research as to why that is the case, and see what can be done about it.
Thanks again for taking time to look at it and provide feedback.
Since it is my first game, I am still learning a lot...and having fun

I don't know if I am doing something wrong or, but whenever I download the game and run it, it says that the application has been corrupted

Color Confusion 1.3 just released! Now you can see the answers, if you fail a level!

Not much of a gaming person, but it does look nice and well made!
And i love the music in the trailer well done

barty22, thanks for the nice feedback on the trailer. It was my first attempt at something like this...and I thought it turned out pretty well. Glad you liked it!

Color Confusion gets great hands on video review from TalkAndroid.com!

Just updated the website with the "Gibibyte Team"
http://www.gibibytegames.com/#!__about
Hopefully you all have as much fun playing Color Confusion as we did making it!

Color Confusion 1.5 released, with updated graphics. Gameplay looks much better now. Enjoy!

Thanks for listening,
http://www.gibibytegames.com/

It's a great little game I really like that all the levels are different every time but I'm just annoyed that I haven't managed to master level 10 yet (there *always* seems to be 2 colours that I can't mix right!)

Isadora,
I am so glad to hear you think it is a great game
We did work hard to make the gameplay have lasting value...by making the levels different every time.
You are right...level 10 is very challenging...I have managed to solve it a few times...at least now you can see the answers if you fail. That was a feature folks were asking for.
One of the hardest things is "getting the word out" on these games. Really appreciate you taking time to play!

[Game] DarkMaze

We are glad to present you a modern remake of the classic game "labyrinth". In the game DarkMaze we will find yourself in a dark, poorly illuminated maze. Many dangers and puzzles will wait you in the darkness: cannons, spikes, holes, secret buttons, which can enforce a killing device… or open the door where you’ll find the exit! And, surely, there is no labyrinth without treasures!
The control in the game, the same as in the original version, is performed with an accelerometer. The game fits for both smart-phones and tablets.
See screenshot in post attachment
Gameplay video:
The game is available in Android Market
ZOMG Team blog

love the loading screen.
actually, the entire game is AWESOME!!! theres some creepy vibe to the poor light that makes it really cool.
keep on improving/updating!
how to do level 6?

Roll to the top right corner (the ball will be just near the laser), then tilt the device dramatically. Because the ball grows not in a flash, you will be able to go further after the laser.

Fun game, thanks for sharing!
Tested on my HTC Desire Z with Android 2.3.3.

Really like the concept. I played the first 5 levels and suddenly thought: "Wow, a maze game with a bit of SplinterCell feeling. Hmm, maybe the tiny ball get some gadgets like an electro-shocker later."
I´ll play the rest tomorrow - have to work now - keep up the good work.

For level 6 you have to roll quick through the laser otherwise the ball is getting to large.
Feature request: It would be nice if you could turn of the vibrate feedback.

we adding vibration control in next update

dang, really want to try this game, but it force closes a few seconds after opening the app, G2 running MexDroidMod(CM7 derivative).

Really nice game! Congrats

I really like the game. But whats up with the trailer on the market http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJIozJhaf2s&feature=player_embedded

in market this part named as Promo... we created small promo, not ingame video...

Nice!
Thanks, It's a very good looking, great game!

Thanks, makes fun

I really hate to make this request here, but do you think it is possible to post the .apk?
The new market sucks big time, wont let me install apps if I am not on 240 dip resolution. Or maybe thats even something you guys could change, because not all apps aren't working. I believe if the dev includes some resolution requirements, the market just blocks installation to devices it knows don't have the "right" setting.
It appears to be some kind of quality control feature, to ensure that the tablet users don't download apps which will look funny on their device, very annoying if you ask me...

[GAME][FREE] Galaxy Bouncer

Hi Guys!
I created a new free game for Android devices and released it on the market!
!! NOT ON THE MARKET ANYMORE THANKS GOOGLE !!
!! THE GAME WILL COME BACK WITH ENHANCED GRAPHICS LATER !!
!! IF SOMEONE IS INTERESTED THAT IS !!
It contains a FPS counter you can enable it in the menu (click small ball with Red M).
So if someone can tell me what FPS they get in the game itself that would be very appreciated!
I hope you all like it, any comments or suggestions please post in this thread!
Thanks a lot for looking.
Some game info below.
In Galaxy Bouncer you need to collect golden tiles to get back home to planet Earth! (Control the game via Tilting your phone Left/Right/Up and Down (Similar to Air Penguin), Hold your phone in a 45 Degree angle to stay still, tilting it lower will move you forward, tilting it higher will move you backwards, Phone flat is fastest forward, phone at 90 degrees UP is fastest backwards) To advance to the next planet you will need 25 Green Stars. These Green Stars you can get by completing each levels with as few jumps as you can, less jumps means higher Star Count (3 Max), Each level also has a hidden Green Star (Some of them need to be activated by turning all Red buttons to Green).
After the 10 levels per Planet are completed you can do a bonus round, in this bonus round you need to turn on all Bonus switches, if you are successful then you get 3 Extra Green Stars.
Version 1.0 contains 33 levels and every week I will add 11 levels until the Earth is reachable!
Music by Kevin MacLeod (Track is called: Antagonist A)
Have Fun!

I'll test this game, sounds good.

Thanks for testing!
I hope you like it, all feedback on the game is welcomed.
This Friday I will release the next 11 levels.

Game no longer on market
the link isn't any good anymore. The game is off of the market. Anyone know why?

Image could be sharper
Just providing feedback based on the screenshots I saw: I feel the graphics could be sharper. Did you "rasterize" your images way too early? Did you use vector graphics when designing? Or at least -- could you use images of larger dimension and resolutions?

Thank u!

It looks good I will try later.
If you could make the google play link clickable in your post it would be better to spot.

Well, i tried it.
-Until you connect to Play games, the screen freezes for about 10 sec every time you die.
-There's no exit option nor settings (i know it's a new game but still, you can't have a good game without some settings like turning off all music).
-The controls are okay but you can't swipe and shoot the monsters at the same time (you have to wait for the animation to end before you can shoot) which i hope will be fixed or rearranged.
-The camera angle is not good to be honest and the lighting in game is so low you can't see boxes,walls and other stuff on both sides which is again caused by the cam angle and height.
-The text with the instructions and the buttons are too small.
So, yeah, you got my full review, love the idea of this game and i cant wait for updates

Thank you very much for this great feedback. I have taken some things on my to do list.
- Option to exit and mute sound or/and music
- Lightmap must be brighter
- The elements on the tutorial screen should be greater
- and yes shame on me if you don´t want to login with google play i should skip the login event for highscore
Thank u and stay tuned. The next update comes at the end of the week.

Did you get the name from the "Tales series" any chance you know of that game series ?

*When you start you get shown a 3 rectangles with info about with monsters controls etc. To me it doesn't seem to help at all in figuring out what to do and how to play.
*As mentioned earlier Yes some the text are way too tiny..
*I would suggest tap and hold the top of the screen to shoot that would free up slide up and down for jump and slide.
*When i faced 3 monsters and was running in the middle row. I slide down to shoot. Instead of killing the monster in front of me i killed the one to the far left.
*There is some serious delay in changing lanes. And changing lanes twice quickly failed to work in the expected manner.
*Too much delay between firing of arrows.

The game itself is pretty nice but it feels sluggish
There is input lag or the frames per second are low(?)
Looking forward to updates and appreciate the work you've done

Don't you think it would make sense to state what devices you are using when you give feedback about the performance?

Same experience here. Input lag causing hard to play after 5000pt+. Except this and little graphic this is really nice game.
Tested on Motorola XT890 with stock 4.1.2.

Great game, lots of fun!
-pause would be nice
-as others have said, needs an options menu especially including a mute
I was also wondering how you can get the follower that is mentioned. It's it just further down the path, or am I missing something?

Awesome art and graphics you have there. There’s a bit of a lag though.
My suggestion would be to add a bit of a tutorial at the beginning if the user plays it for the first time.

Been playing some more...
-As others have said: It does get laggy after you have played a bit for some reason. Seems to be around the 5k mark or just if you have been playing over and over for a while.
-Speed up the shooting. Sometimes the enemies come at you faster than you are able to repeatedly shoot. EDIT: It seems that this could be related to piercing (shooting through more than 1 enemy). Sometimes the blue bolt (swipe down) shoots through several enemies until it passes off the top of the screen, but other times it only kills one enemy before disappearing. On a related note: the bolts also do not travel through arrow pickups but I do not know if this is WAI our not.
-I bought resurrection wings with my coins but they don't seem to auto activate on death and I can't figure how to use them.
Still a solid game.

That kinda makes sense
Nexus 4 over here so performance shouldntfingers-crossed be the problem

the game looks good. certainly you need to fix some minor lags but overall it is well done imo

maybe this will close my need for a good looking endles runner after shadow escaper was closed...

I think you should change the video of the play store.
only 1/4 of the screen is used to show the game itself, while the other part is an almost static background with some text...
even the 1/4 of the screen has the margins of a smartphone...
btw, nice game !
:good:
Which game library did you use to create it?
LibGdx? AndEngine ? Unity?

Thank you so much for your feedback . I am happy to see someone play it. I will try to make some changes with the background and make it lighter. I was more worried about the speed actually and I had some huge stuttering problems, glad to hear it's "only" background for now

small feedback
really good, thanks.

Great game !! :good::good:
Just the background is too dark, please fix it

Thank you, I will. I have usually darkness in my room so it looked ok, when people said it is too dark I went out of my cave and yes, it is awful background.
// UPDATE: I have made some changes with background colour, should be better now.

Reminds me of Bit Trip. Cool game! Thank you.

NEWEST UPDATE:
After some feedback added Camera Lock option in the menu (You can lock camera on Y axis if you want to.)
Added STAR SYSTEM. You will light star everytime you add 20 to your score (20, 40,60 etc.), Biggest STAR is for 150.
DOWNLOAD: = play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dreamhex.Runner
I have also noticed thread name says [APP][2.3+] instead of [GAME][2.3+] sorry for that.

Downloaded it because of your awesome promotion video lol.
"Not bad" -Mom
Looking good for a quick and light game!

Ground
- When the character jump i want to see the graund. Maybe it can be cool with this.
- Buildings can swipe with the character on running.
- You can add powers or power points etc. (up 20 meters run = speed up, up 50 meters run = super jump etc. )
- You can add different environments (forest, city, beach etc.)

Thanks for your reply.
-You can see the ground if you lock camera. (Version 1.3 . Checkbox in the menu, at least I hope it's working )
-I think something like this would ruin your gameplay and you would crash immediately, but I agree it needs something more.
-That's a good idea

IN TOMORROW UPDATE:
Implemented GOOGLE PLAY GAME SERVICES so:
-Achievements
-Leaderboard
-Also camera locked on Y axis as default option. (much better gameplay imo)

look great
