Hello! I'm Ben from Octopirate Games and I'm proud to announce the release of our first game Cactus Jumper!
You can view a small trailer and see screenshots on our Google Play listing:

I urge you not to dismiss it as an endless runner on first glance. The gameplay is actually very different.
Instead of running forward at an automatic speed you have to choose to jump 1, 2, or 3 spaces, and try and land in a square with no Cactuses.
It may sound very easy and simplistic but as soon as the pressure is on from your thirst meter draining (because you're in a hot desert) you must jump forward fast enough to collect water canteens.
It has a pretty unique feeling to it I haven't really seen in any casual games. I think it's a ton of fun and I urge you all to give it a quick try before dismissing it.
If you find the gameplay fun, there's a whole lot of content to keep you busy, over 40 missions to do each round, 40+ achievements, over 30 different hats you can equip that give you special abilities. 8 different characters including some just for the luls like a Velociraptor and a whale. (Surprisingly the whale is not so good at jumping.)

Basic example of gameplay
There's different areas you eventually reach which have different challenges. For example in the cave the Thirst bar is replaced by a torchlight bar and your light radius slowly shrinks if you can't collect torches. Different hats give you different powerups, and the miners hat seen above makes your light radius in the cave much brighter.
Raptor character in the Jungle zone
The tuque makes everything freeze for a little while, turning the cacti into harmless snowmen.
Wizard hat gives you a bubble boost when you collect enough magic.

Plenty of Achievements

I'd love for everyone to give it a try and leave me some feedback!
Also a rating and +1 in the Google Play store would go a long way to helping me get this game noticed. Thanks for your time!
Haha sorry for the wild variation in screenshot size. My bad.
Nice looking game
Going to try it now!
Thanks for sharing!

Hi all!
My game "Invaders from Antarctica" is now available on Google Play.
“Invaders from Antarctica” is a simple and fun shooter game where players get to protect our planet from invaders by shooting them on their phone screen.
The evil forces, lurking in an underground base in Antarctica, have long been waiting in the wings to give a retaliatory strike. Their hordes of paratroopers equipped with propeller backpacks and flying saucers for airdrop are ready to attack. And now their time has come.
The black hordes are drawing near a small peaceful New Zealand village, making the sky growl with thunder. The villains, holding Walter guns in their nasty little hands, are being dropped down from the saucers and are approaching the Earth.
And only players with their staunch guns have the power to stop them. Shoot them all down!
Description
We were inspired by the famous game about hunting (Moorhuhn), but we charged this shooting game with lots of different features. You will enjoy combo, variety of weapons, bonuses and different levels.
The game is amazingly addictive, but simple to play.
Even little kids can easily master the game controls:
Shoot by tapping the screen
Move by tilting the phone
Recharge your weapon by shaking your phone
Install from Google Play

It's our first game, we use Cocos2d-x. Maybe next time we will try something else. Unity3D for example.

FRANK in the HOLE is a 2D platformer game with controls specially designed for touch screens. Instead of buttons where you have to aim to jump or do actions, there are big invisible areas of the screen where you can push. If you press on the right side your action will perform to the right, and if your press in the left side the hero will go to de left.
This trailer explain it a little bit better:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7JR79nyJTk
FRANK in the HOLE is the story of a plastic surgeon that, for strange circumstances, has to save the world from total destruction wearing a shower curtain.
The game has 32 main levels. All of them have also 3 coins to collect.
There are google achievements that you will unlock getting the coins and other task and leaderboards for every level, so you can compare your times with the rest of the world.
Also, with every achievement you unlock, and extra will be unlocked too. They can be curiosities like the main character sprite or a death counter, but they also can be 4 extra levels where you have a different goal and all of them with they own leaderboard. After finishing the game, if you collect all the coins you can also unlock 4 extended finals to see what happens after the last sequence.
FRANK in the HOLE is a polished and challenging game that will offer you hours of fun. There is not any in-app purchases and the publicity banner will hide once you start one of the main levels, so it doesn't bother the players.

Thank you I have worked for 3 months on this game.
Hey there!! Funny background story and characters! I also liked the game animations! Perhaps you can work a little bit on the controls! A bit tricky in the beginning! But thumbs up! Good work! :good:
Thank you! The thing about the controls is that they are very different from what we are used to. I have designed them thinking only on touchscreens, so it's normal to feel them a bit tricky at the beginning. I personally can't play with virtual pads, I always miss the button, but this doesn't happen to me when I play my game.
Good work! Yes, in the beginning it was tricky for me too. But it's fun to play.
Funny game with quite weird character. What is that inspired from?

Let me present you my application.
Get in on Google play!
This is a puzzle game in which you have to cut off the territory without touching the ball to pass through level after level. The principle is not complicated, but do not be seduced, at the same time to predict the trajectory of the ball and quickly act not so easy.
The goal of this game is to cut the board into small enough pieces and capture the balls in the smallest areas possible! You need to cut and shrink the board, placing the slicers in the right places and not touch the ball.
Before placing the slicer, pay attention to the ball, predict the trajectory of its movement and don't let it touch your line before the split is complete or you lose a life.
GAME MODES:
● Endless mod - This is the best place to compete with your friends for the champion title! Collect the maximum number of points and compare your records with your friends!
●Level map - consists of levels of varying difficulty, it gets harder as it goes on, especially when there are more balls!
● A set of free thematic balls will make your game even more exciting and your balls more attractive!

I released a casual game about a falling girl as part of my project "Alexandra Mind Mess".

Mechanics
Not to say that the mechanics are new, but not very popular. A typical endless runner, only in this case a "faller". Physics of free fall with jumps like in a wind tunnel, with the expectation not to touch obstacles.
Added an increase in the difficulty and speed of traps, which occurs with the progress of the passage.
Added boosters and extra lives. And of course the purchase of new skins. She's a girl ☺
Animation
Many different movements have been tried. We made an unobtrusive and natural movement of the hands and hair
Narrative
In general, the character of Alexandra is the heroine of my psychological thriller-chat stories, which are also released on the Play Market. But this time I decided to do with a minimum of text, limiting myself to an introductory comic strip and some visuals that will be encountered during the game.
Art
I decided to make the image of the girl "near-anime". We tried to maintain the entire in-game design in the same style.
In general, there were several options for the face, we stopped at this.
Voice acting
I arranged a casting of actresses with the voice I needed.
The difficulty was also in the fact that there are many voices-sounds in the game, for each event its own. They meet often, and so that the player does not get tired of them, he had to voice a sad and funny "ah" in several versions.
In short, I'm really happy with the voice acting. In combination with other sounds and music, it turned out to be a pretty tasty picture.
