Tim is an ordinary 2D platformer that me and my classmates developed as an exam project at school. We would like to get some feedback on the game to improve it further.
We have already got the game up on google play store so I will provide a link to that. I will also provide a link to our website where you can find information and downloads for both pc and android.
[Link 1] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Timmage.Tim&hl=en
[Link 2] https://timmage.com/Tim.php
Also there are some screenshots from the games attached.
[Update] Tim 1.1.1 is live!
[Reserved]
Ok so I tried out your game so here is some feedback
1) The 2nd level its too hard for players to find the exit , thats why the feedback isn't coming in for you. Thats a shame because the 3rd level purple theme is pretty good.
2) Make the 1st couple of levels shorter so that players get used to finishing levels.
3) Add enemies to the levels to make the game more interesting.
Thats just a few tips there is more but this is a good start. Don't expect feedback until your game has more to it. You can try my games and pick up some idea's for your game.

Thank you for the feedback. We are curently working on a AI for enemys so that the game will be a bit harder so that we can make the levels shorter. Will also try out your game. Thanks alot!
Also for the people who try out the game and get stuck on the second level. My guess is that it' son level 2 at the undergap of the floating island you just hold left on the ramp and fly so far to the left as possible there you will find the portal. We will move it closer in the next update
Good game. Keep it Up.
[Update]
We will soon upload an update for Tim on Android and PC where there now is enemys with AI! so the game will be a bit more challenging.
Well we may not have gotten much feedback but we are soon on 100 downloads
Well, I have played the game.
I like it, worth an A+.
Hey naknul,
I like your game! I know that it's much work to create games like this.
For me it looks weird, that his head "walks" through platforms, but he is also in able to stand on it. Do you know what I mean? But maybe I'm just confused because it works different in Mario
Keep it up! :good:

Ah yeah i see what you mean. It's most because he can jump up through the platforms from underneath.
Really nice job! I appreciate people making any kind of game solely because I don't know how to make one (yet!)
The background music in the third level stop being "background" music. It gets too high and becomes the main thing you hear which is a bit odd.
Other than that, really nice game!

I really love this game :good:
Thanks! You warm the heart of a small developer ^^
Very cool game! I was already a big fan of Bejeweled, but your game actually puts a bit more strategy into it which makes it more difficult and fun!
Great job!

I am still trying out a few different formulas for the new mode so it's hard to say. But what I can say is that it will be a completely new experience, and hopefully a lot of fun! :laugh:
Ran across this game in the play store and been playin it ever since
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Wow, thought I was more or less invisible in the play store ^^ Thanks
Awesome work man, you are even on the headlines nice :laugh:.Will try this game soon, keep it going.
This game looks awesome, concept is pretty simple but you took care of all details and you polished very carefully all the animations and artwork.
Did you do all that game all alone including sounds and graphics?
Great job though, i love when a developer goes indie :victory:
Hello everyone, I want to tell you about a new game which was developed by me and one dude in 4 month.
This game is really casual and hard as it turned out for players. Honestly saying casuality of this game is high and you can wonder why this game develope so long time. Unfortunately gamedev is not predicatable thing - seems to be easy, but seems to be no. It seems to be a cool, but it seems to be no. I wrote to 8 publishers (maybe incorrectly I guess and they havn't read), but only one replied, it is LeTang.
Before final verion they said they are quite interested with this game, however when they got a final version for test they denied it. Their arguments were they already have several same games and this game is not outstanding.
Okay, that's alright, whatever, but 4 month of development were behind our backs. Nothing is left only we could try to publish this game by ourselfs.
If you enjoyed with Flappy Bird, you will like Get The Mouse too. But don't think it is a clone, not at all, even game mechanics much more different and diverse, just if gamer could get more then 5 scores in Flappy Bird he will be able to get much more in Get The Mouse or maybe he will can get to the end. Yes, this game has the end but no levels, only one tunnel 200 meters long.
You will pull out the mouse by its tail and don't let it glut oneself cheese, because if it eating the cheese it growing and finally just will stuck in tunnel. And here is an example of tunnel
You can decrease size of the mouse you just need to tap fast on it and it will fart (sorry) and get smaller. Sometimes. when everything is complicated, there is a possibility to use time dilation and while it acts you can decrease its size. Oh yes most hardcore players can gather the coins by their fingers, but is not necessary, because scores will be converted to coins. You can't buy coins for real money.
And finally here is a promo video from youtube
Quality of video is bad, but there was no resources or skills for better.
And here is a link to Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lennon.mouse.android
P.S Let's discuss! I would be glad to answer to your questions if you have some. Also I wonder to read any criticism. I want to discuss this game with other people if someone will be interested to discuss. Thank for you time!
How many other threads goes above this thread.... Does anybody has any comments, please?
totally new idea
funny & nice game
wonderful quality
5 stars
thanks a lot :good:
5 stars
Hello again!
Guys, I'm disappointed how Google Play gives and output of search results. On my PC I see this game on 64-th place whe searching "Get The Mouse" without quotes. And on my phone I see it on 14-th place. I wonder how many people stops searching Get The Mouse when they don't see it after two or more scrolls to the bottom of the page.
It looks really hard, but only at first look. Can you make posting of scores? I got 4538 scores, I wonder is there somebody else who could get more?

It is depends on motivation. More users - more motivation. I think I will implement leaderboards using Google Play services. More over I will make multiplier using Google Play services too.

Engine is LIBGDX and it was took about 4 monthes with some periodical rests. We had not much time for game.
Good idea for this sort of game. Usually games where you are punished for hitting the wall just end on hitting the wall, and leave a frustrated user (me!). With your game you can continue playing, if the mouse has not gotten to fat, and therefore it's fun to play.
Nice game. I really like the graphics In your promo video, I suggest that you use some sort of screen capture software to do that instead of using camera. That's a huge minus point for your game promotion
Great! Like this app!!
I tried it and looks very nice
Good job

Yea, it's my first game so development is not as fast as it could be. However, I'm spending all my time for this and want to make it popular and playable.
There are plans for different gamemodes and also and online (1vs1) mode.
So, we just need to wait!

Great first game! The gameplay is solid, and I like the interface. I have two criticisms: first, it feels weird that the bucket is in the middle of the screen. I can tell that the reason for this is so an equal portion of the screen is devoted to each color, but I still think it would play a lot better if the bucket were lower down. Second, I'd suggest tweaking the graphics so the drop is covered up until it gets out of the pipe: right now you can see it above the pipe before it falls. Other than that, I agree with the other people who have replied to this thread: it's a great time killer, and a lot of fun.

I've recently finished my first game for android and I need opinions from people other than my family and friends, who can only praise me.

I've sent you the files through PM, thanks for the help.
Could you tell me what did you mean by strange controls? I wanted it to be hard, but not "hard to play", if it makes any sense.
It's a really nice game if you want to kill some minutes. It's fun to play it and you really want to improve your highscore. In my opinon it's a little bit harder than flappy bird or something like this but everybody who visits this thread should give it a try
At first I had problems with the controls, but that was a failure with my current custom Rom and had nothing to do with the app.
it looks like typical good run/arcade game, but static backgrounds isn't cool. IMHO
Great game ! It is very well done, with attention to details like performance, music, graphics. This is not common in many 2D android games. I heavily recommend trying it !
good game, but i really think you should improve the graphic, maybe 8-bit

I'm glad to hear that you liked it. About it being harder than flappy bird... It wasn't my intention, but it can be. It's a little harder to learn, but when you get the grasp of it, mechanics are easy (but still hard to master!). Also, I'm pretty sure, that it can be a lot more rewarding than flappy bird.

Hey there, I tried your game out and I'd like to share my feedback with you.
It took me a few minutes to realize that I could tap the right side of the screen to keep the copter up in the air. Maybe have a little "tutorial" at the beginning explaining the controls? Or some kind of button/visual to show that the right screen is for keeping the copter up.
After a second run, I did noticed your "how to play" button on the menu. Maybe you should display that at the beginning game for first time users.
You don't seem to have back buttons for "how to play" and "high scores". I have to exit the app to get out of it.
I hate to be that guy, but I find the full screen ads a little intrusive for this kind of game. The banner ad on the corner is fine though.
Could be a fun game with a bit more polishing. Mainly with the controls, and the UX. Good luck with your game!

About the back button on howto and highscores screens... There is one, in the left bottom, but it looks like I need to make it more visible.

Oh okay, yeah I must have not seen them. One last thing is try animating some of the UI elements by "tweening". Like, maybe the game over dialog can slide up to the middle of the screen. Things like that will make the game feel more polished. Keep it up!
SteamCopter has just been updated, here's the changelog:

Thanks, I will look into it.
I found the time to play it, and I was impressed by how the music complimented the art style. It gave your game a nice little aesthetic.
At first It was difficult, but after a few minutes of playing I got a little better.
I was also initially confused about how to play in the different worlds that are shown on the screenshots.
That was until I discovered that you had to collect a certain amount of stars to open the next world.
This actually gave me more incentive to continue getting better.
My only (minor) complaint is the backgrounds. They look great, but they're a bit static.
I couldn't help but feel that I was playng in front of a stage. But again, this is very minor and easy to look past for me.
Overall great game with great production value!
BTW, I love steampunk, so sorry if my review is a bit biased!

What an uplifting post, thanks! I'm really glad that you like it.
I'd really love to do something about backgrounds stillness, but well... it's not entirely dependent on me.
What do you guys think about integrating Google Play Games Services(leaderboards, achievements)?
After a really long break from programming, I'm back with a new game. Steampunk hero is back, this time with a rope! From screenshots it probably looks like some stickhero-wannabe, but let me assure you, it's really not.
Hook, swing, repeat.
Equipped with nothing more than a single rope, swing from one platform to another. Hold your finger to move the grapple point, release to swing. Stick with the crows - they are said to spawn bonuses. But be careful! If the rope is too short or too long, you will fall.
Simple yet addictive, just try it!
Compete with your friends and people from all over the world through online leaderboards and achievements.
Collect coins to unlock additional backgrounds and characters.
Play in headphones for best experience.
