Hey everybody!
To God be the glory, I've been making some custom roms on XDA for a while, but I have decided to try to learn some new things by taking an app developer course. I've made a few apps, and I thought I would share them here as well. This app is open source, you are welcome to go to the Github and post issues, review and or copy the code (it is Apache-2.0 licensed), or download the app and enjoy!
These are my first apps, and I know they need a little improvement. So please feel free to leave a comment! But please remember, the best criticism is constructive.
If you do check out my Github, note that just about every line of my code includes a comment as to what it does or why it exists, so if you are like me and new to Android programming, be sure to check it out to see how it works! Also, in my Github are many "small apps" in the "apps_small" repo, which are apps I either made for the class, or made on the side to test out some feature or function. Hopefully that would be useful to someone.
Without further ado:
Ship, Captain, and Crew!
A classic dice game for up to four players!
This simple game requires a lot of luck and a very small amount of skill.
In times past, this game was used as a gambling or drinking game by sailors and
merchants alike. You must procure a ship (6), a captain (5), and a crew (4), the
remainder is your cargo.
Once you have your ship, captain, and crew, you can click on dice that you wish
to hold in order to save them rather than roll them. You can also choose to keep
them all if the conditions are right. The "point" or high score is always
visible, and that is a big help to the "hammer" or the last player.
This game is open source and add free! So grab a couple friends and set sail for
high adventure with this fun little dice game. If your lucky, you may even
strike "midnight"!

Hello everyone,
My buddy recently wrote a new android game. Its essentially one of those classic see how many "x objects you can avoid before you hit something" games ;-P
In this case you are are a pretty slick turtle armed with a jetpack - your goal is to dodge as many asteroids as possible without a collision.
To learn more about it visit the game's page on google play. Unfortunately I don't have enough points yet to post links in threads, so if you would like to learn more about it visit google play and search for 'jetturtle'. There will only be one result and that's it.
There are more instructions in game as well.
Don't forget to post your highscores, bugs, feedback, comments/whatever else Try it out!
Introducing Dojo Defender!
Dojo Defender is our newest game, now free (with ads) on Android (and possibly coming to other platforms) where you need to defend your dojo from a horde on incoming ninjas hellbent on destroying it. We mish-and-mash a few mechanics from other games in an attempt to create something that you can enjoy! I won't spoil it for you guys, since I'd rather you guys experience it for yourself since it is a mechanically-driven game and nothing else
Who are we?
SpikeJAP Studios, a recently formed team from Portugal! After reaching the 13th place in the worldwide Indies vs PewDiePie gamejam with Rise of the Valkyrie (a game made in 72h). We decided to make a new venture into game development on Android with this game. We are indeed new to this, but you won't easily find people more passionate than us.
Why we need your help?
This game had a smaller development cycle (a few months) because we are currently involved in another gamejam, but we need your feedback to make our game better: Rate, comment and leave us feedback so we can make the game even better!

I think its fun, but i can't play it for too long or i feel like i get a cramp in my fingers ( esp. on the trebuchet )
Hello everyone!
I'm back once again, to announce another game that I've been developing in my spare time (this time as a solo developer). I got my idea from the Facebook messenger basketball easter egg game. I loved the simplicity it provided and the fact that I spent a fair amount of time playing it, challenging friends to beat my scores, it made me realize it's a great concept, but being a simple facebook game, I could take it steps further to make it a great casual game.
It's currently still in the development phase, but it's quickly nearing polish and release phases. I'd actually seen that there was a similar game "Ketchapp Basketball" which was released before me, so I decided I had to be different. What I've done is add a multiplayer challenge mode (it's more of a psuedo-multiplayer). Every day, players will be able to challenge other players to beat their score in order to earn "Challenger points" (final name to be determined) and this will determine who is the best player globally. Although there will be other leaderboards to determine who is the best in each of the 3 different game mode categories.
What I'm looking for is 10 testers or more to simply open the game, login to google services (which is used for the multiplayer mode), and play about 2-4 minutes per day, although you can play more if you'd like. As I work on the game, you will be able to see the game's layout, graphics, and functionality improve and give any feedback you wish, which will be especially important in this stage. If you are interested, feel free to send me a message or just make a post on this thread asking for details.
Thanks!

I like the clean game style and over-all feel. I would prefer the throwing to be more accurate and for example to allow curving the ball, not only shooting straight.
cool!
I just released my latest Android game using the awesome Libgdx games library and B4A. Flick coins into the piggy bank, which then moves so you need to keep flicking at different angles.
Please have a go and let me know how I could improve it. I'm trying to build up a catalog of simple casual games and to hone my games programming skills. Also check out my other games if you like. I will provide full source code to anyone who asks.
Nice game! LibGDX is a pretty good framework. I used it for my first released game. Did you use Overlap2D?
