Hello,
I am here to present our new free game, RainDrop!
In this game you are a drop trapped in a toxic rain. The goal is to stay alive as long as you can, and build combos to get the highest score! Avoid toxic drops as they will contaminate you, an don't let larger drops absorb you. You can destroy what's on your way by releasing droplets, but that will make you shrink. Replenish yourself by absorbing drops that are smaller than you.
Some features of the game:
- HD graphics
- Tilt your phone to control the drop
- 3 different game modes, each with its own online leaderboard
- Compete with your friends with Scoreloop!
- 800x480 screen resolution recommended
We've been using the awesome libgdx library to make this game. For those who don't know it, it allows you to write a game an run it on your PC completely independently from Android, and then with 1 extra line of code it's ported to your phone! It's great since you can also make an applet out of your game and people can play it in their browsers (a la Minecraft). I really encourage people that want to develop for Android to use it.
Download here!
Please let me know of any comment, suggestion or feature that you would like to have in the game!

We just released v1.02, the main changes being:
- Added: double-speed button for those who want to avoid the lower speeds at the beginning
- Modified: tutorial is now even shorter
- Modified: combo points are now more visible
- Modified: slightly increased the delay before background transition
- Fixed: toggling HD on/off while in game now works correctly
- Fixed (v1.01): the preferences and local scores are now saved correctly
BTW, if you guys tried it on your phone, could you give a little feedback about the performances you get? We have a HD toggle that you can disable, as we're trying to have this working smoothly even on old phones, so that would be helpful!
Cheers

Hello again,
Some users reported problems with Honeycomb tablets (game not starting). We've just pushed an update (v1.03) on the market to address this issue.
Could Honeycomb users give us some feedback? That would be highly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
This game is pretty fun! I would like for there to be an option to change difficulty. It starts off a bit slow but when it's fast it's really fun!
edit: sorry, didn't notice the speed button
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Thanks!
We've updated the game to version 1.05 to fix some problems with tablets, so again if there is anybody out there that tried it on a tablet we'd be happy to hear your feedback.
We also want to add new bonuses to the game, and are ready to listen to the suggestions of our players so shout if you have an idea

Interesting game. Two suggestions:
1) Allow to calibrate the tilt meter the first time I play. For some reason it was not centered for me correctly and I had to play with a slightly tilted screen.
2) Have a bonus that makes you invincible (like snowflake) but also move down very quickly. The more acid drops you destroy, the longer it lasts. It will add some action to the game I think.
3) As the tutorial is already quite long for a simple game, have some system of not showing ALL the bonuses immediately. Perhaps start with two bonuses, and as the player progresses add more possible bonuses.

Thank you, good ideas!
We are developing new bonuses to make the game more challenging and will release updates regularly!
Btw here is a recent review: http://www.androidappreviewsource.com/2011/07/02/raindrop-android-app-review/
Cheers

Now that's timing
Sweet, got really annoyed with that EA version of Tetris and had gotten bored with the block scene as far as games go.
Cool animations & sound effects, nice menu design, very stylish.

looks good , will give it a go

Please do! Also, if you could rate & comment on Google Play we would really appreciate it.

really like it.. it's like tetris but totally different, that was unexpected
thank you for your work, will rate

Ahh, died on level 11. Got my first high score to beat now though!

Bump Tell us what you think guys!

Nice one !
Just one Q: Why a tetris game needs to know my COARSE (NETWORK-BASED) LOCATION ?
... continuing with level 2

It's fantastic, thanks man.

Glad you like it! The network/location permissions are there for the ingame advertisements, so that Americans for example don't get Russian ads, etc
Nothing fishy, I swear :laugh:

OK, but why the ad free version needs those permissions too ?

Good catch! Forgot to take that out of the adfree version. Uploading the update now to remove those permissions! Expect it within the hour.

i am not able to get the game from the market
a link would be appreciated.
thanks

A direct link to Google Play is in the first post! Keep in mind that supported screen resolutions are 480x800 and higher and you need Android 2.1 or higher to run it. If your device does not meet these minimum requirements, the game will not show up in Google Play.

Update for the adfree version is now live. The update removes unnecessary permissions related to network location. Enjoy!

This quickly color-changing block appeared on top of my stack, cleared half my stack all of the sudden, what is that?

I see you've met the Mania Block! It's a game mechanic that will give you a fighting chance to recover when you are about to lose. You can read about it in the Help file under Advanced --> Mania Block.
Basically what the Mania Block does is the following. It clears all blocks of the color that you place on top of it. This will most likely cause a chain reaction to give you some room to breathe! The Mania Block has a small chance to appear whenever your grid is filled more than halfway.

Ahh...
Awkward; usually I'm the one telling people to "read the manual" ... anyway, thanks for clearing that up. Cool feature.

getting better at this game
highscore: 7730

Not a bad score! Keep practicing though

Worth a shot
Played the game on my nexus 7 and galaxy s3, must say graphics look great.
well done.
in terms of gameplay, once you get a hand of the game you find the beginning a bit easy,
also, took me a while to figure out the tap to kill thing,
4/5

Anyone tried it yet? Suggestions, criticism? I can take it

Thanks! I'll probably start adding more stages soon. Just need a few days off now.

Has anyone managed to find the hidden game yet? Any other thoughts?

Hi there!
Nice game, fun and quite addictive! I think I found a bug though. On loading screen, when I touch the right side of the screen to put the motor on, when the game actually starts, I seems to take account of the events that occured during the loading screen!
Keep up with the good work!

Good catch! Thanks! I'm already on it.

Anyone alse tried it? I'd really like to hear your opinion and suggestions for improvements if you have any.

Update 1.01
Updated to 1.01
I added immersive mode for Kitkat and a few more buttons for quicker navigation. Swiping all the time to reach the back button would be too annoying in my opinion.
I've also fixed the play button so it's not to close to the google's sign in and updated google play service to the latest version.

I'm going to give you a little hint here. Try tapping left of the title in the main menu.

Here are a couple of screenshots from stage 36. I'll release an update when I reach 40.

Another preview from stage 37! I probably should've introduced these earlier in the game.

Successfully completed all 35 levels waiting for update...
Addictive game

wow! this is an impressive game. just downloaded and died out of fuel.

Very funny game!
But why it doesnt support portrait mode?

completed 39 levels

[FREE][GAME][2.3+] The Eye

Hello all!
I would like to present you our new upcoming android game: “The Eye”

It will be an arcade game set in the fantasy world (so we decided to put it here). There is a greedy dragon sleeping on a piles of looted treasure and the hero, who will try to steal them (player takes the role of hero). However, this is not as simple as it seems to be. Huge chunks of rock will randomly drop at the hero’s head. Moreover, “The Eye” of dragon opens from time to time and the player has to hide before the dragon wakes up. To achieve a high score player needs good tactics and skills.
Official trailer:
Below you can check the process of creating the game:
Amateur sketch shown below will help you (or at least it will try) to imagine how the game will look like .
Final graphics will look more professional. Graphics should be ready in a few days, however, until they are not finished we will present the process of creating the game on such scribbles.
Do you like the idea? Would you like to play this kind of game? Or maybe you have an idea how to do it differently – better? Any suggestions and questions are welcome.
The game will be ready probably around December 13. Keep checking this topic if you are interested in the development process.

Added the animation of a titular eye. We are wondering what to do with the eye. There are two options:
1. The eye keeps opening randomly - the player must react accordingly quick.
2. The eye keeps opening as the dragon's anger increases gradually (there is a bar indicating anger levels) - the player has to hide in order for the dragon to fall asleep again.
What do you think about it?

We decided on an option where the eye keeps opening as the dragon's anger gradually increases, with the player having to hide in order to decrease the anger levels. This option allows to minimize the randomness of the gameplay.
And here is another video. The eye opens only when the dragon's anger bar is full. I think that we will be able to add the ability to hide by tomorrow.

As we promised yesterday, we added ability to hide, which will be used to decrease dragon’s anger bar. Anger bar will decrease very quickly if you hide (not like in the video - it's just a prototype, I need to adjust all parameters).

Professional graphics of the titular “eye”. How do you like it?

We made an animation of the eye. What do you think?

And here is an animation of the character:

Short gameplay with new graphics:

Menu prototype:

Hello all!

Today I would like to present you the final version of the menu.
Only four days to the official release (time sure flies, huh? )

Here is the official trailer of the game. "The Eye" will be released tommorow!

Finally! The game is finished. A lot of hard work, far too little sleep, but it was worth it. Thank you very much for your attention, valuable comments and opinions .
