The night of last Friday the 13th I published a free Halloween-themed puzzle game, with no ads and no permissions at all. I’ll just spill some salt too, what could possibly go wrong? :fingers-crossed:
Based on pipe games mechanics, and adding a different approach to level design -more on that later-, the goal is to light up all the pumpkins fixing the light paths by tapping in certain connectors to rotate them. Quite lightweight, there are no load times and the app is just 4 MB because it’s a native development using Kotlin and the LibGDX engine.

What makes this game different? Puzzle design
I did not relay on the usual dirty tricks to make each puzzle appear longer or more difficult. Difficulty increases only with the complexity of the path, not via limiting the number of moves and forcing you to restart, adding timeouts, slow moves or obscuring the light path until you turn some light switch on. Instead, paths get longer, more branched and the puzzle sometimes turns into a complete light labyrinth (hey, that's two genres for the price of one )
It’s up to you solving the puzzles by trial and error quickly tapping everywhere and seeing where the light gets to until you eventually solve it -it works- or following a more analytical approach and go straight ahead for the correct moves -it's more rewarding-. Play at your own pace.
After you have solved the first puzzle you can go back to the main screen and select any of the 150+ puzzles if you feel like skipping the easier tutorial-like ones. They’re all unlocked and the average difficulty increases with each puzzle set.
Hope you enjoy it! Happy Halloween!
I've added a video to the main post featuring one of the puzzles I think it's proven I'm better at still pictures haha, anyway, hope you enjoy it!
Not bad!

I'm novice Android developer.
I've created my first game for Android plarform - CRAZY SNAKE. It is an amazing version of snake. You can rotate snake to any direction!
You must eat bonuses, grow, eat other enemy snakes and capture control points.
There are FREE and FULL version of game.
Becouse new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages, I can't show links on my game. You can find this game in market search "crazy snake".
Last update 1.3.2.
Added vibration effect!
Whoa, I was expecting another remake of "Snake" and this is actually interesting and really fun. Good job - I'm not playing a lot Android games, but yours really got me hooked
Very funny game. I play it for about 2 hours and can't stop!
After playing a little bit more, I've noticed one small annoyance with controls - pressing another arrow while holding the first one does not registers as an action and even after you release the first finger snake won't change its direction. This makes changing direction quickly unnecessary hard.
Also, some of the selectable colors are not very distinct.
But these are minor negative points, overall - very fun game!
MAJOR UPDATE RELEASED!
See post 2
Hi everyone, I just released my first game, called Blight Sequence, onto the Play Store, and would love some feedback.
It's inspired by the balloon trip mode of Balloon Fight for NES. Blight Sequence is still being updated, and planned new features include vertical scrolling (only horizontal at the moment), new art and backgrounds, and difficulty spikes based on background/zone (as opposed to the current linear difficulty).
Here is a short description:
With that addictive, one-more-try style of play, this game will have you hooked. And don't forget the retro Graphics and catchy music!
You crash-landed on the mysterious planet Earth. Unfortunately, it's overrun by pollution and you can't get close to the surface. Add to that the fact that your thrusters don't have enough power to escape the pull of the planet, and it's clear you just are not having a good day.
The devastated planet's strong wind constantly pushes you upwards, and you must use your thrusters to stay level.
Press and swipe on the screen to avoid the floating garbage, and collect the fuel bubbles drifting around in order to stay alive. Watch out for the giant chunks of garbage with their own gravity pull! Good luck.

Let me know what you think! If you have suggestions, feel free to post, I'm still thinking up things I want to add to the game. Oh, and I could definitely use some more reviews, so if you like my game, please leave me a review on the Play Store
Major Update Now Live
Just released a major update!
Pollution zones added- Each zone has a special effect. Some are helpful, like making the fuel bubbles larger, but others make things a little bit harder for you. See if you can figure out what each one does!
Added about 5 new songs as well- one for each pollution zone.

[GAME][2.3+] Eat It: Still Hungry - Action, Arcade, Puzzle and Physics 😓😠
You are a hungry little smiley in a world full of evil. In order to become big and strong, you need to eat - a lot. Evil enemy smileys are the only nourishment in sight, so you try catch as many as possible, but beware: You can only grasp smaller ones, bigger enemies will devour you instead!
To move your smiley, hold your phone in a horizontal position and tilt it into the direction your smiley should move. A level is considered as won once you've eaten all enemy smileys and you're awarded up to three stars, depending on the time you took for solving it. While some levels require a steady hand and quick reactions, others will pose puzzling setups, demanding your full brain capacity to solve them.
As an additional challenge, there's a survival mode where new enemies keep popping up from a cave and you need to munch as many of them as you can grab. In this mode, eating gives you points and difficulty increases gradually.

Edit: Oops, just found it out. I am not a smart man.
Crashes when i open the game. Whats wrong? on S2 and my tablet shows the same things FC.
Hi, developers.
I published a new game <TailBomb> in Google Play Store.
TailBomb is inspired by a well-know old retro game "Snake". We've tried our best to show gamers the unique visual effect of continuously generated tail.
It can be categorized as a shooting game. But unlike any other normal shooting game, we emphasized on dodging. Simple rule, you dodge.
But that's definitely not all. We took the idea from Snake, which gets killed by its own tail, and decided to use the tail against enemies.
The use of this tail is the most important part of our game. You have to carefully maneuver so that following tail is in position right in front of enemies.
Game turned out to be a great one, better than we've first imagined! This got to be one of a kind, right?
That's not all.
We added a feature called EventZone. It opens from time to time during the game.
If successfully taken over, certain powerful effect will occur, wiping out most enemies.
Great as it is, we wanted it to be challenge. To activate it, you have to stay over the zone for few seconds. It's harder than it sounds. Enemies will continuously attack you, which makes it difficult to stay in one place for long.
This EventZone definitely makes the game more fun, making it more strategic.
Another main feature of TailBomb is skill.
TailBomb is ready with 10 different ships. Each ship has it's own skill. We tried our best to make each unique. Some are for defense, some are for offense.
With merge system, you get to choose two. Different combination, different fun.
TailBomb does seem like a simple game, but we wanted it have many features to enjoy.
