[GAME] Horror Run! A new game we published just now.

Hey everyone.
We're currently working on a cool little game, first version is already out in the market. It's called 'Horror Run!' (name is a bit meh, but it works..).
There are a lot of ideas floating around to improve the game and we'd like your help for more ideas!
You can read about the game in our blog, or download it from the market to try it out (it's free).
Let me know what you think, any comments and criticism are welcome, and the negative are surely better put here and not in the market itself
We're especially looking for ways to make it more addictive and a bit more versatile. Right now a global high score system is our first priority for next version
But any idea is welcome, and if you like the game and think something is missing don't hesitate to post
Thanks!
========================
UPDATE: An update was just released to the market. It adds OpenFeint support for global leaderboards - we feel that was the most sought after feature so we used the (very) little time we had to work on that and it's finally done.
Again we're like to thank everyone here at XDA for supporting us and downloading the game, as well as providing invaluable feedback. keep it up
========================

Some feedback could really help us improve and let us start and keep a stream of quality material into the market....

i'll check it out at the market and i'll get back to you later on...

downloading now will report back.

Downloading and will try..

Really fun game!

u can actually do double jump by press jump twice.. or jump+roll to make it dash while jumping.. u can also try double jump and roll which usually result in suicide..

it's an okay game.. definitely not 1st of its kind but the added graphic makes it nicer than some others similar game.. but the problem is its getting pretty boring after awhile... maybe u could give more type of obstacle like consecutive "double demons" or add obstacle that needed to be double-jumped to get through. or u can make a combo obstacle that won't allow the player to relax (after roll then the player must quickly jump then follow by double jump or whatsoever). of course it should be after a while the game started to added more difficulty...
i'm thinking an extra dash button would be nice to add.. adding more possible gameplay. so jump+dash would replace jump+roll.. jump + roll could be another action (such as immediately roll after jump). well, i'll leave it to ur imagination =p...

Great graphics but gets tiresome for me cause I keep dying
One touch and dead from a bat is a little harsh but the game is very challenging, lol. Really good job though just not my preferred type of game.

Downloading it now on my Galaxy S!
Awesome game, has a lot of potential. Runs great on my phone and graphics are good, only thing i'd change is the Menu graphics, make it a bit more pro .
But still, for a first release i'm impressed. I would change the 1 hit 1 die rule too, and add more levels/maps/objectives etc.

It's so fast I keep dying so quick lol

Fun game - good graphics.
Took me just 2 tries to figure out the controls. Not the most obvious icons, but they are in a obvious location ;-)

Looks awesome i will try it

Similar to Free Running (search Market) but more challenging and has more features. Also like Robot Unicorn Attack (see Facebook/Adultswim, I'm addicted to this game) in terms of game play.
Suggestions: background sound, sound effects, balance the game a bit (in terms of difficulty, sizes of enemies)

Downloaded the game.
First impression was nice graphics !
Personally i think the gameplay is to quick, i keep dieing, maybe a easy - normal - advanced setting ?

Your Game is ok but noting pretty special but it runs pretty fast on my Milestone 2.
Besides what about adding items e.g run faster or invisible.....

looks great and runs nice, im sure you will work out the little things, i wish i could program in java, my games would run much smoother, lol ive been using appinventor, i can get them to look pretty god, but gameplay sucks balls

Downloading now will report back soon

Phew, lots of comments after the nothingness of the first couple of days
Thanks for all the replies, great feedback, this is just what we need!
To the actual points:
I didn't realize it was that diffucult, I guess when you're the one making the game things seem easier
And Of course I'm well aware that the thing is repetitive to the point of being almost mundane - This is indeed a first version and a form to 'test the water' sort of speak. There are several ideas cooking to make it a bit more diverse.
Some things that will definitely make it into future versions:
1) Multiple lives before game over (already working)
2) Make the starting speed a tad slower (already working).
2) Add an easier difficulty level (probably main/only difference will be the starting speed to be even slower).
3) global highscore system using Feint or the likes, to make it a bit more social (Probably separate board for easy/hard).
Things I want to add if I overcome some obstacles (silly pun intended ):
1) More enemies and background pictures. Currently I'm having some memory and performance issues, trying to work it out. Might switch to OpenGL
2) Achievements, using Feint system probably - things like get 10K points without rolling a single time, get 10K points w/o collecting a single treasure item, get 10K points while collecting every single treasure item etc.
3) Bonus with special effects. Right now I'm thinking a shield and a special fly mode, but we'll see...
I'll try to professionalize the menu, but it's not easy when graphics it's not your profession
I'll release partial updates in the following weeks (at least the lives and easy mode are already mostly implemented so they could easily make it).
Hopefully the part time job and being a full time student won't hinder the progress too much and I'll be able to get some more meaningful updates soon after the exams are over (i.e. near the end of February).
Thanks again for all the input!

Really like the game, really addictive to break your own score, currently at 5030.
Works very well and stable, doesn't lag at all!
really like the sounds in the game.
Maybe an online scoreboard would be a nice feature?
I'm also wondering in what language this is programmed, just in Java with like a game development SDK?
Keep the games coming!!

[Game][1.6+] Prototype Defense (New Release (24/04) : 1.3.1)

Hey Guys,
We (some students from Maastricht University, Netherlands) created and programmed a new tower defense game for Android.
If you guys ever wanted to have direct input and control over the direction a game could take; this would be the time!
If you have any comments / suggestions we should introduce or change; We'd love to hear them!

If you have a high-end device (at least 800x480px), then we would love to hear your feedback on it!
Currently, it's in lite/beta stage. It's stable, but doesn't have all levels yet that the full version will have, so it's free for now!
The market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.codepoke.games.tda
The game itself:
The new ultimate open path Tower Defense. Create your own towers!
Prototype Defense is the ultimate open path tower defense game centered around unique gameplay, puzzles, achievements, a good campaign and intense high-speed HD graphics.
In Prototype Defense you will be able to create your own towers by combining turrets and bases, buy upgrades that actually change the behavior of towers, and maze in gigantic levels.
== This version only supports high end devices (min. 800x480; Nexus One) ===
This lite version is the current BETA release, but completely stable.
We will continue adding new levels to the game and release a full, non ad-supported version when the first campaign is finished.
The full version will contain:
- 3 campaigns, of each 8 levels
- 12 puzzle levels
- 2 survival levels
By default, sound is turned off for the game, but can be enabled by selecting the sound icon in the main menu!

We released version 1.0.4;
Stupid java.utils.Arrays.copyOf wasn't introduced until API 9... >_<
(That's the problem of working with a game as an external library...)
Also, we fixed all bugs found so far, and decreased the difficulty level!

Nice work, ill check it out.

Me too

Thanks!
We're currently implementing a new event system which will allow more dynamic maps like destroyed towers due to air bombardments, endless levels and more.
Due to exams weeks next week, the big update probably won't be out till next weekend.

Can't rush perfection ;] liking the game! I own Robo defense the #1 tower game... but this could be way ahead of it, I love it!!!

Fun game, good work guys

Thanks!
Btw, if you guys ever wanted to have direct input and control over the direction a game could take; this would be the time!
If you have any comments / suggestions we should introduce or change; We'd love to hear them!

Just installed now on my Xoom.
Scales correctly and looks quite interesting.
Menu isn't really clear when launching new campaign - maybe you could grey out those that can't be entered.

Could you specify on what you mean by "those that can't be entered"?
At the moment there should not be any campaigns with requirements.
(There will be in the future and they should be clearly marked)
We are going the rework the "Start X (Campaign/Level)" button though, as it's a bit unclear now.

I have been playing it some more (quite nice )
I have found the following bugs though -
Second map - when i pinched to zoom the game force closed.
The ground laser does not focus on the first enemy that enters the map but on the last one - therefore when a lot come after each other the laser doesn't shoot at any.
EDIT - Actually second level just force closes even when not zooming.

Thanks for the report!
What device are you playing the game on, and what android version?
Also, did you send in the report to the market?

I'm loving this so far. I have some ideas that would help the user experience, maybe have some kind of list of enemies with there abilities and weakness/strength (ie. Which towers deal more/less damage to them).
It also seems as if the machine gun is the best/only tower needed. The other towers cost more but don't seem to be worth it, when the machine guns do just as good or better for less money.
Also it would help to know what determines how much money we get for the upgrade menu (not in game, the one at the main menu) is it a set amount per level, does a higher difficulty increase the amount, do we get more if we complete a level faster than the time allotted?
And last but not least, great job, especially for keeping the battery usage down while having good graphics and gameplay. The best defense game I found so far is hexdefense, but it uses a lot of juice as do most of the good tower defense games, I was surprised this game is so battery friendly.

Great game with some innovative mechanics. Can't wait to see how it will shape up.

Thanks for the positive feedback!
We released 1.1.2 a couple of days ago, which should address a LOT of issues (and introduce new features).
If you have ANY comments, please post them. We're a tiny developer group of students, and if the feedbacks is in any way structured, we'll try to incorporate it into the game!
@eraursls1984
- BatteryManagement: The game's pretty optimized in almost every sense possible (except for rewriting everything in C ;-)); and limited at 60fps as we found that our lowest target (Nexus One) can run the game at 60fps. So any phone above this grade will have a easy time, and lot's of horsepower to spare which we made sure wasn't used up in idling.
- Money for UpgradeMenu: This isn't a fixed number, and depends on how much score you get in a game, a variable which scales with difficulty, time and lives. We plan on adding the total per level to the LevelOverScreen.
- Overview of Enemies: Also a planned feature for 1.5 :-D
To clarify, 1.2 will be considered completely stable with the current features and probably be released in a week.
1.5 will have some extra features and be released mid January.
- Tactics / Machine Gun: The very least you should need to use the aura turret, which gives you slow; and combining the Artillery/Laser with particular patterns of machine gun turrets should almost be necessary at the higher difficulty levels.
The beginner difficulty levels are setup in such a way that the player shouldn't have any difficulty in finishing any of the levels with just the machine gun/aura turrets.

Something from the Russian market comments: most people say the game is good, but unstable. There are also many people complaining that the game doesn't support lower end devices, as many people have cheap carrier branded devices (mostly mdpi and lowres screens, eg ZTE Blade/Racer and LG Optimus One).
Sent from my Full Android on Bravo using XDA App

Thanks for the translate!
At the moment we only support hdpi+ (as we need to redo the UI for low res devices).
The strange thing is that this is indicated in both the description and the restrictions.
Speed-wise the game runs on lower-end devices, as we tested it on the HTC Wildfire, but the UI needs to be adjusted first.
About the stability: we released a giant bugfix update last week, so these should be adressed.

Unfortunately most people here tend to completely ignore all those notes. An app doesn't work on your screen? One-star it and go whine on the forums, even though it was never supposed to work.

Yeah... Anyway we could prevent this except for blacklisting every low-end device?

[free game][2.0+] Shijin Reversi, the only two to four players reversi.

Hi,
You can find HERE (Google Play ) or HERE (Amazon) our first Android game using libgdx.
It's classic reversi game with some added value :
2-to-4 players
Nice, polished graphics
Reverse mode
I won't advertise it too much as you have all the informations in the links.
Any feedback is appreciated, feel free to rate it as well.
Thanks !
As it is a developper forum I will now talk a little more in a dev perspective, you can skip the following if development bores you
Why a Reversi ?
I always want to add features and stuff when i develop something, I have another game in développement with a more original concept, but while designing it I realized that it would take me for ever to finish it.
So for my first game on android I decided to make a game already known, so I won't be temped to add to much stuff in it.
Plus it would be good to have a code base for future games.
Yeah, but there are already billions or reversi on the market.
Right, so I needed an edge. I've downloaded the three or four most downloaded reversi on the market and played with it a while.
Even tough the AI is often pretty good, the graphisms tend to be between ok and horrible : first "breakthrough" :
But it's not enough.
Earlier this year I've played a board game called Roll It ( at least in France ), which is basically a reversi with balls instead of discs, and you can play with 4 players.
Bingo ! I had enough to keep going.
Why would my game be different ?
Good and polished graphics.
2 to 4 players
Yeah, but you need a robust AI now.
Right again, although I've played at Reversi several times i'm not a good player, so I had no idea how to implement an AI.
After some research on Internet here is the way I've done it :
I basically assign a weight to each possible board I come accross.
That weight depends on 4 factors :
- Basic weight : each case has it's own weight, so I just add all my cases weights, and substract the opponents ones.
- Safe discs : discs that cannot be flipped are considered safe, usually safe discs radiate from a corner.
- frontier discs : I maximize the frontier discs ( adjacent to an empty case ) of the opponents, and minimize my own
- mobility : I minimize the number of legal move the opponents can make, while maximizing mines.
after that I create a tree with all possible moves, using a min-max algorithm, that will give me the move that has the smallest chance of losing.
To reduce the number of move searched I added an alpha-beta pruning to remove in advance some moves I know will be bad. It was really cool to see the results.
With a depth of 6 moves, I reduced from 3 millions calculated moves to 100 thousands during the middle of the game.
I then made 5 levels of AI by playing with two things :
- the depth of the search
- the weight associated to the four factors aforementioned.
I don't know how my AI will keep it toghether against a real reversi player, but with the latest difficulty settings I get the general feeling I have while playing the other reversi games. ( and I loose badly ).
While browsing Reversi websites, I also came across the less-known "Reverse" rules, which consist of having the less discs at the end of the game.
I just had to invert some of the weight and I had a very decent AI, so it made a nice addition to the game.
And why that theme ? and that ridiculous name ?
After deciding I would have 4 players, I needed a four-way theme, like seasons, elements, cardinal points, etc.
Beeing a huge manga reader I though of the four beasts we see on a regularly basis in that culture, plus it combined all the previous researched themes. It was perfect.
I wanted a design that would talk to japan friendly people as well to everybody that would look at the discs and say : "whoa, that looks awesome", so I asked for a more modern, minimalist, clean style, with just a hint of asian culture, same for the music.
And i feel that my artist and sound designer got that very well.
For the name, I didn't want to have reversi in it, but I was afraid a reversi game without reversi in the title would loose a massive amount of visibility.
So I search for how the beasts were called in Japan and took the simplest name : Shijin.
If anyone here speak japanese, I apologize if the term is wrong .
Thanks for reading.
MangeCailloux.

Version 1.0.5 :
- Fix a bug that relstarted the app in the lock screen
- Haptic feedback intensity reduced
- Apk size reduced
- Remade setup page to be clearer
Haptic feedback should be lighter, and apk size wes reduced by 2 MB, just had to clean the mng files, silly me.
I've also made some changes to the setup page.
How can you add/ remove a player ?
How can you change the difficulty setting of the AI ?
How can you change avatar ?
How can you switch from human to AI, or AI to human ?
If any of that was not easy to answer, please feedback it to me so I can improve it further.
Thanks.

Hey there guys! We just released LineBox and we're looking for suggestions to improvements of our game, LineBox.
LineBox is a challenging game with minimalistic graphics, you move a block up and down by swiping (or clicking) to dodge obstacles in your way.
We would really appreciate suggestions to what we can do to improve our game!
Some planned fixes/features for tomorrow that we didn't implement at launch are:
Pause functionality
Sound-effects to buttons
Hardmode after X amount of points.
Google Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Lars.LarsGame
Screenshots:
The only difference between the paid version and the free version is one advertisement, and you can see the paid version more of as a donation of 1$ to us if you're interested in supporting us on our future projects.
Thank you for trying out our game We promise to read every single post you'll make <3...

* Added sound when clicking buttons.
* Added hardmode to the game when the Player reaches a score of 100.
* Fixed some performance issues
---TO DO---
* Add mute button, pause/unpause button.
* Add custom animations for hardmode transition
* Add powerups for longevity of gameplay.
Updates happen often!
Also, unfortunately, since I do not have 10 posts on XDA I am not able to paste a direct link to my Google Play application.
I will put it out the moment I have 10 posts, in the meantime, if you would like to find my game on the Google play store, simply search for LineBox

Changelog:
- Added new music
- Added Pause/Unpause functionality
- Added framework for adding powerups later.
- Bugfixes,
New things! (29.11.14):
* Added new Power-Up to the game
* Added difficulty progression
* A lot of optimization and bugfixes
* Sounds and animation for death of player

Nice game, like the minimalistic look. would recommend 10/10.

Thanks, I really like this game. My only complaint is that powerups rarely appear over blocks and are impossible to get.

Nice game, I really liked the simplicity of the design.

Hey guys! Thanks for all the nice compliments on the game! I'm working hard to improve it, just taking a little break from coding for a couple of days. When it comes to the powerups, I am aware of the issue of powerups appearing inside the blocks! I might boost the spawn-rate for powerups later, but this is a value that'll need some tweaking! Except for that, I have a lot of new and interesting powerups planned!
Thank you for trying out my game, and look forward to more updates

nice little game

Bump!

Great game thanks :good:

Nice work it's made simplistic, but the good thing, people are addicted to that xD.(ofcourse not simplistic under the hood). Continue with your work, I would love to see your future projects too :good:

good work!
but when try to pause, when tapping screen to pause, game is thinking tapping normally for game and change direction, let you die
and some performance issues on i9500, its too laggy.
game screen is too small, uncessarilly there is lots of empty space on screen

What did you build this off of?

Here's a quick one, could you compile for armeabi as well as armv7a-eabi? As-is, this won't install from Play on older (armv5,armv6) handsets.

Yes, I am aware of the pause issue, and it is one of the issues I am going to fix as soon as I find the time. When it comes to performance issues, I don't know if there is much I can do, but I am constantly trying to optimize the game. While I wont deny that my code is not exactly super-optimized, I am still learning and I am very sorry that this causes your i9500 to lag.
Also, I have never seen an example of the game screen being too small, I would love it if you could attach a screenshot to show me the gamescreen. It is supposed to accommodate to different resolutions.

Unfortunately, my game was made in Unity 4 and wont work on ARMv6. I really have no clue if my app would work for armv7a-eabi, but if you tried it and it didn't work, chances are it doesn't. Unity has it's limitations I am afraid, but ofcourse I'll look into it
In general, the only real requirement I know of is that your API Level has to be higher than 9, or, 2.3 Gingerbread.

I've read of armv6 unity libraries that can be swapped into older apps. I might try that. //edit: apparently has to be unity under version 4... no dice. A shame Unity, like much recent Google-ware, assumes everyone uses newer hardware.
armeabi-v7 or v7a are the de-facto standard for android devices since android 4.0, but as of Gingerbread, google still supported armeabi in the android source code.
I had only tried it on my armv6, I assumed it was built for armv7 since Play refused to install it on my older hardware.
it runs fine on my armv7 evo v.

Yeah unfortunately. If I compiled my game in Unity 3.5 it would probably work for lower end, but again that's a hassle considering the features I'm using.

Lol, check most of the indie games and phone games, 80% looks like AAA graphics from ~5-10 years back.

Good game it needs more graphics bro but really nice work.

Give him a chance, it's his first game and its only him making it. Not a team.

downloading it right now.
Brian

Its cool for a first time making a game. Even cooler that you added Cardboard support. Great job!

I hope i will be able to make it more appealing in the future
I develop this game myself, using no 3d engine, only opengl. I'm mainly a student, learning computer graphics programming, so my art skills (blender, gimp) are not that good (if not bad).
I plan to improve on the assets and effects later though
thanks for the feedback!

great ..
Really great effort ... :good:
+1 from me ...

I'm going to try it. Thank you!

thanks for trying it
additional levels (lava, arctic, etc) and a cooperative multiplayer mode is under development. there was once a working coop mode but it didnt use google play services so im updating it.

VR Mode improvements
I am working on improving the VR / Cardboard mode, especially the controls. Are there any opinions, on what is bad, and what is good? How many of you tried VR mode at all?
Some questions:
-The head roll rotates the helicopter as of now. Would it be better if if you looked away, your helicopter would follow slowly your gaze, and eventually get centered at your look?
-The altitude is controlled by onscreen buttons. Would it be better if looking up/down controlled it instead? i noticed that that way you are forced to look away from your targets, but it is more intuitive.
-Is it good that now you can look around in the environment, but this way if you dont follow the helicopter's rotation with your head, it gets out of sight? An indicator that shows the direction to the helicopter, when it is off-sight could help...
If you have any other opinions (for example on speed selection, which now works by selecting from 4 buttons), please write them here

Gamepad support in new version!
The game has been updated with USB/Bluetooth gamepad support. Controllers can be used in both VR and normal modes.
VR mode is greatly enhanced by a controller, the previous control was a bit hard to use.
I tested the game with an XInput compatible controller, and a generic directinput controller, if there is something wrong in the mapping, please let me know!

It' so good that you made it yourself. I really like your game, but you should improve graphics to make the game better

good

thanks I am planning to improve graphics. I'm unsatisfied with the helicopter models/textures and the teapotcopter's texture, i plan to improve on that. Is there anything you would like to get an overhaul? Also did you set your Graphics Quality to High / Very high?

The game is reaching 1000 downloads (there are 10 or so left)! Thanks for everyone for their support!
I'm planning many new exciting features, in the coming weeks! This inlcudes Google Play services backed Coop multiplayer (available in VR mode also!), new Levels (a lava, and a snowbase level are in the works), and new type of aircraft, and also new gameplay elements.
Also graphical elements (GUI, some models) will see an overhaul also!
If you have a moment, Please Rate the game on Google Play so that i can continue working on it!
