Gameplay Video

I saw some downloads and if you have time any feedback will be appreciated.

To the person who downvotes every game thread I make and goes to googleplay to 1 star my game your a punk because you never reveal yourself.

Any feedback from people who have played Planet Exis can help me figure out what I did right and what I did wrong.

Hi!
Why so many permissions?

Hello, @Mr.HB, thanks for posting it in the Operation Undead thread, that's the only way I can come to know about your amazing work.
The feedback you wished,
The game is kinda reminiscent of the style, but I'm really an arse to say this about someone's hardwork, but the game's a lil monotonous after a while and the green kinda is overwhelming.
Its a lot of fun to play. The game is really enjoyable!
Thank you for your work!
I hope this helps.
And keep up the work man, I've been a following your work for quite sometime :good::good:
PS: I think the reason why you're having less downloads is cuz of the preview video in the 1st post. I guess it'd help if it showed more short previews of other levels.

Its the AD networks that require more permission. The only permissions I need are is media and file, the media to play music and file to save the game on the device.

Cool game, thanks for the PM @Mr.HB.
Will check it out more later today after I've finished editing an awesome SciFi book... lol

Nice gameplay! But a visual part of the game could be better. You can get free resources from opengameart.org, for example.

Thanks for the feedback I been hoping that at least one of my games gets popular, so I can afford an artist. I can get a artist for free if its a casual game that doesn't have as much artwork, but for a game like this artist want to get paid. I hope this catches on so I can have an artist in the future.

That's really nice.
I'd like to pitch in some advise,
The game displays just one ad, and that too is dismissable. Rather than that, why not display a fullscreen ad on launch and exit of the game, I know it's not too help full, but the time complexity decreases (if u know what I mean)
In some time, it could help you afford an artist, I believe.

Thanks I know about that site but I was worried about if the art is truely free to use or not. So I made the art and just worked hard on the gameplay so that people will have a blast playing.

I have to check on this because there supposed be 1 fullscreen AD on launch and 1 banner both of them dissmissable easily. I can't do exit ADs because google doesn't allow it anymore. AD revenue's are low so in order to make any money you have to get around 10,000-50,000 downloads to make pocket change ($20-50 a month).
Plus I don't like to fill the game with ADs I want the game to be enjoyable, I could have the game display video ADs but that would be annoying to users. I can use your help if you rate the game in the store that can help the game move up on charts.

I don't really do that. But sure man, why not.
I guess, you could show one video ad when the game is launched or rather, just one throughout the session the game runs. So no dissmissable ads, just a vid. That might help a lil with the revenues I guess.

That would be the second level. I found it a tad challenging tough. You had a great storyline for Operation Undead, and catchy names I guess some of that would really be awarding.

Ok I tried to make the gae with fewer enemies but not too tough but in the future I will tone down difficulty. I will make a playthrough series within 24 hours to help . I really want people to get into the storyline and characters. Yes Operation undead had more humor than this one. The next game I am working on wil have humor plus be a bit easier.

Yes, that'd be great. Varied and more colorful levels with a lil more variety would just do the trick.

[GAME] qb - 3d puzzle game

today me and pavethem released qb.
qb is a free 3d puzzle game for android, windows, mac and linux.
market: https://market.android.com/details?id=de.redlion.qb
website (with a pc version): http://bompo.github.com/mgcube
Guide the sphere to the exit. Only a block can stop it once the sphere moves. So use the blocks wisely to reach the exit. But it won't be as easy as that! Portals, switches and even movable blocks will challenge your brain. The game features 24 mind-bending levels along with local highscores and a time attack mode. Create your own levels with the ingame editor. Enjoy the 3d graphics and a soundtrack written by bitbof.
credits: bompo, pavethem
music by bitbof
powered by libgdx
Free? Oh, going to try, thanks.
Thanks I will try it out also.
So, what did you think of the game? Any recommendations for future updates?
Thanks, I really like the game, performs good on my galaxy 3.
Maybe the sphere could be a little faster sometimes.
I actually downloaded this last night without seeing this thread. I liked the game, the only frustrating part was once in a while I'd launch a ball to its death and I'd have to start over from the beginning.
Any reason why you couldn't start from where you last were? Did you guys try that and decide it was too easy?

Could be that the game runs to slow on your phone. The sphere moves slower if you don't reach 30fps (Otherwise it would fly through blocks because our collision detection isn't good :/). Disabling the bloom effect in the options should help to increase the fps.

If you take a wrong path, the level could become impossible to solve. That's why it always starts from the beginning.
Cool, I will try
thanks thanks thanks
Sounds awesome, I'll give it a spin on my PC for a while and will download it on my phone later.
I love it!!
Thanks, rate if you like it!
Is anyone using the level editor?
Looks like a fun game
Anyone interested to get their custom levels included into the next update? If so then we could add a option into the next update to share your custom levels.
If anyone wants to have a look at the source code, the code is available here. It's cowboy coded so don't take it as a starting point if you are a beginner...
Cool game reminds me of the old dos game with the snake, was in dos editor i think. brain fart cant remember the name of it. Oh well thanks

[GAME][2.3+] Bad Fin

Hello everyone, I've just released a new FREE game on the Google play market called "Bad Fin", it's a high score casual game.
The aim of the game is to stay away from the shark whilst avoiding moving obstacles.
I've had a few friends to try it out and tell me what they think but I don't know if I can trust their opinions.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tap.f
I would love to keep improving this game, so please criticise away

Thanks, was trying to follow in the footsteps of games such as stick hero and flappy bird where the game is really difficult at first, but with enough practice you can get a really high score.
Such a hardcore game my highest scrore is 9. I think the player should get rewarded for not touching pillars. Big shark is acting like freaking Neo, dodging everything, loving life. IMO just slow shark a bit every pillar with crash/shake effect so good player can get away.
I really like how smooth it is and how it well it runs.
Here are my issues:
No explanation on how to control the fish
Tapping right should lower the fish instead of making it rise
Tapping left should raise the fish
Maybe these are just personal preferences but that's how it was intuitively for me.
Quite interesting app

Hi, thanks for playing the game.
1) Their is a "How to play" button on the first menu
2) I thought right would be more synonymous with going up, but I can understand your preference.
I may add text on the main game to help users remember the controls and I'll see what I can do about giving the user the option to change controls.

Great feedback, I'll see what I can do about balancing the game a bit more, at the moment the shark swims at the same speed as the fish. and if you don't hit any obstacles you wont slow down.
I was thinking of incorporating some sort of shatter effect when the shark hits a pillar but flying pillar particles may end up hitting the fish in the back, making the game much harder XD
By the way what kind of reward did you have in mind? a tiny speed boost perhaps?

Giving the option to customize controls would be too much hassle in my opinion. Just go for a simple text or graphic when the game starts that illustrates that pressing right will make the fish down and viceversa for left.

I was thinking about "hidden" distance reset. "The shark swims at the same speed as the fish", but let's imagine little fish got some acceleration, every time player face tanking obstacle - you just reset current velocity to initial value.
onLittleFishSwimming(dt):
t+=dt
Vf = Vi + a*t
onLittleFishCollision():
t = 0; // Vf == Vi (reset)

[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!

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.

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 !

Hi everyone!
For reasons I don't fully understand (well, anti-spam policy), I couldn't post any link or pictures, so thanks a lot @kirito9 for adding the link.
About the 9gags comments, well, I'm an avid 9gagger (it ruins 1 hour of my sleep every night...), so I decided to show off my game to the community and ask them for update's material suggestion. And I got a LOT of ideas coming from it:
9gag.com/gag/agNjPGw/this-is-airmadness-a-little-game-i-made-i-d-like-your-suggestions-for-next-planes-environments-please
Feel free to do the same and suggest planes and/or environments ideas!
Cheers!
Julien
I must say the idea is a bit overused, but I really liked the graphics. A lot.
When I played it I failed to see some type of qualitative progression. A great improvement would be to change the scenes dynamically as if they were levels (sky then sea then land then volcanoes then...) but it might take you a lot to add many scenarios with other objects than rocks. Maybe with other landscapes you can add moving objects and increase the variety.
Meanwhile, if Unity supports tilt movement you can add it.
Hope you find it useful!
@randomlabs Thanks. For sure, the concept isn't new. It's really really close to a "Race the Sun" for example, but I wanted the environments a bit more real, less etheric.
I plan on adding more environments and planes. A "story" mode, where you have to finish all levels in a row with at least 2000 points is a very good idea. I'll consider that kind of udpate.
Julien
