Hello. I just published my first game on the Play Store. It's called Ball Grind. If you enjoy minimalistic arcade games like Color Switch, Super Hexagon or the ones by Ketchapp, this game is for you. But don't get me wrong, I made something original, there's no game that looks like mine on the play store. Feel free to to give my game a try, let me know what you think below .
Coming for Windows Phone and iOS soon.
Well, I'm not allowed to post links yet. You can find the game on the play store by searching "ball grind" (include quotation marks).
This is the icon:

Description:
Your ball keeps spinning around each platform. Tap the screen at the right moment for your ball to jump from a platform to another. Be careful, as the game keeps getting faster and there are obstacles in your way. Your ball can only stay on a platform for a while, so think quickly.
The objective is simple, go as far as you can, but going far isn't that simple! Try to collect diamonds that appear in your way.
- Fast paced one-touch gameplay;
- 10 different balls to unlock;
- 4 difficulty levels : Normal, Hard, Harder, Hardest (sorry, no "easy"). Can you beat all of them?
Focus and precision are key here. Prepare to test your relfexes!
Screenshots:
First impressions: The blue text on an orange background is hard to read IMO, the icon peaks my interest.
After downloading: I denied you access to my photos, not sure why you need that. Looks weird that my in-game currency is off the screen on this menu. I don't really like the text you chose, and why isn't the "Exit" centered on it's button?
After Hitting play: Tutorial is straight forward although hard to read with given text and background colors. seems weird that you want me to hit "start" after successfully completing my tutorial, it should say congratulations and take me into game right away IMO.
After Tutorial: So I lost first level, curious why the level orientation changes after I hit replay? I assumed it should be the same exact level that I get to try again on. I like the SFX, game could use ambient music as well. I feel like the game really has no theme. Prices in store seem fair, I feel like I could easily save up for a skin if I was going to play your game regularly.
Final thoughts: I feel like this is a great start and you're really on to something, I could actually see the game being fun and addicting but right now you're missing the final polish. I feel like you should spend more time on the overall presentation of the game and take care in the way every little thing looks and try to imagine yourself in the shoes of a new player. Do some playtesting with friends and family to see what they think could be improved and ask for honest feedback. I come on these forums to offer honest feedback because I feel like that's what my fellow developers need! Please feel free to send me future updates and games for my opinion, always happy to help.
ALSO, pretty sure mods will remove your post because there is no link.. not 100%

Thanks for your review. But it seems there's one thing I didn't make clear: Those levels you see after touching play are actually just difficulty levels, what changes from one to the next is the speed and the colors. This is about seeing how high you can score in each difficulty level. A difficulty level is considered "beaten" once you reach a score of 30 in each (just 20 for the hardest, because I think 30 is way too hard.)
The placement of obstacles is procedurally generated each time you play, that's why it always looks different when you retry.
This is not just about beating the levels, it's also about seeing how far you can go before you crash or miss.
Also, I didn't know my game required access to photos? I don't get that permisson request when I install the game.
Perhaps I should change the description of the game a bit. And yes, I will improve the UI .

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
========================
This is our blog

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!
G2 Rules!

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!!
Released my first android game. I am a sole developer, game took approximately 6 months to complete. Without further ado, I bring you

Easy to learn, hard to master. The concept is simple, remove all the blox from the board to move on. The challenge comes when not every block acts the same way.
Over 70 levels and 7 different and fun BLOX types (With more on the way)
Any feedback is welcome, good or bad. If you have any questions about the development process / time frames, let me know. I would be happy to answer.

Game was just released, so it may not show up on your phone search.
Game was updated with performance fixes.
Anyone give this a shot yet?
v.1.0.3
Added a feature request, Grid Option! to toggle through 3 different Grids, Full, Border, and Off
Fixed a bug causing the game to force close in rare cases on exit.
Brilliant game, keep on it mate.
Sent from my Arc via transwarp beacon.
Well , I just saw this thread, just installed it, and just tried the game.
And I must say, it's amazing! Simple yet entertaining, just the way I like it.
My guess is it will be very popular soon!
Tested on Galaxy S2, ICS ROM, works flawlessly, didn't encounter any errors, or FCs, although I didn't get past the 4th level ( feeling sleepy )
My experience and opinions, criticism and whatnot
+ The game starts up very fast!
+ The transitions are really nice in the world/level picker.
+ Music is really nice and not too boring, though I would prefer something jazzy
and slower ingame ( a lot of clouds )
maybe something like : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf8FCLT8S6A
+ Help is drawn pretty nice, although it should point out that you need at least 3
blocks together for them to dissapear
+ text Font is awesome and fits well, so does the rest of the graphics
+ I love the concept of the game, nothing simillar out there
+ Block animations are awesome too
- I dont like preview thumbnails on level picker, they all look the same, maybe
some nice icons or something ?
- I didn't check the other worlds yet nor levels past the 4th but it seems they all
have the same 3 clouds + sun background. It got boring after 2 minutes
Maybe night/day cycle or something, shouldnt be too hard Would even look
nicer with a moon there and a dark background
Maybe the preview thumbnails will look better when the levels have different
backgrounds
Gonna play with it tommorow some more and edit this post if I find something that I like/don't like
Great job mate! Cheers!
Edit : Added smilies to the post, it wouldn't add the first time for some reason

Amazing feedback, thanks!
As to your light criticisms, I am in the process of trying to incorporate a more friendly level structuring. As in, you won't have to just play 1 level until you beat it, you will have more levels open to you. And part of this process might be changing the menu system around.
As far as the graphics go, you may be SHOCKED to learn, but I did all the graphics myself, hehe
It probably doesn't need to be said, but I am no good at graphics, my idea would be to make each world look different, so you are not looking at the same thing all the time. But drawing things that don't hurt people's eyes is very tough.
I had originally considered making the game go to night time, you may not have noticed, but the sun actually moves. And when it gets to the other side, it just switches back. At that point I wanted to make it moonlight, but I couldn't draw anything that didn't make my eyes bleed. But you have convinced me to keep trying.
I will keep at it though, thanks for the info.
This game is awesome, please keep it updated

I am working on a big update. Probably due out next week, or the week after. So get your feature requests / suggestions in!
Very clever game, I like how the difficulty varies from level to level.
Sometimes I think a level is too hard, and then I realize it only took 2 moves.
I will also mimic the above poster and say you need a help screen that shows you only need 3+. took me a few seconds to realize that on my own.

Well I thought that too, until I took a closer look and it actually says 3+ on top of the help screen! Though not too many users will figure out what 3+ actually means

Maybe have another info screen on the second level showing the same thing but with just 3? Although it wasn't too hard for me to figure out on my own.
I am stuck on level 25, has to be impossible! I love the little tie-die looking dudes, neat mechanic.
Thanks for the kind words.
I am planning on updating how the level structure works, Anyone have any suggestions? I would like to implement a method in which you don't have to progress one level at a time. So if you get stuck, you have other levels open to keep on playing.
v.1.0.4
Updated the level order. I found too many people failing earlier, changed the levels to have a better difficulty curve.
Enjoy!
Good stuff! It's tougher than I would have thought to find a good, free puzzler that doesn't beat you over the head with ads. Thanks!

Welcome to colour guess, a fast paced brain training game where you the user must link the correct colour word to the matching coloured button ignoring the colour of the font, all before the timer runs out. Colour Guess 4 Modes (with more in development) each with four increasing difficulties.
Classic: Match the word to the correct colour button ignoring the colour of the font.
Classic+: Buttons are no longer static they randomly switch positions with another.
Mirror: Match the colour of the font to the matching button.
Mirror+: Mirror rules with non static buttons.
Updates are actively being worked on. Colour is an independently produced app by a recent university graduate .
To see colour guess in action see the gameplay demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mazrjMNgVjQ

Thanks glad you like it. Practise can really help get better high scores, one of the core aims was that to get good at the game you would have to play a little bit each day thus keeping your brain active, after a few days of practise it is really noticeable of a score improvement.
UPDATE V 1 . 1
New mode Ultra Hard, Buttons are no longer static in this new mode making even more of a challenge with button randomly swapping position.!
Update also contains layout improvements.
Please share and give feedback about colour guess
A very simple game, however, it does get complicated when the colour of the word and that of the block is different. Good work none the less!
If you could increase the time to select each block, it would really help the player.

Thank you for the kind words, yes it can get a bit complex but the more you play you can really notice the improvement of high scores. As for the timing I can give them a tweak, I did run a closed beta test with people of varied ages and felt I had worked out the correct amount of time for difficulties. I will continue to monitor this and most likely give more time especially in the new mode.
V1.1.1 now out fixing bugs in ultra hard mode and credits page
V1.2 now out adding sound and sound options. Please share and give feedback
Fan page has been setup on facebook for anyone who enjoys colour guess:

This is a fun game: the concept is really cool, and it can get pretty addictive. An interesting game mode might be to give the player more time at the beginning to pick the right color, and then speed up as the game continues. My only (pretty major) criticism is that it looks like there wasn't very much effort put into making the game look nice. For example, the main menu screen is poorly laid out: there's a lot of empty space, and I think the game could benefit from a nicer looking font. Overall, I think this is a great game, and if the visual presentation of the game matched the quality of the gameplay, it would be an outstanding game.

Thanks for the feedback, yes I am no graphic designer but I assure you a lot of effort went to the design, I was aiming for a simplistic look to the app but I look at trying to produce a higher quality. I have more modes planned for colour guess so a layout overhaul will be due to fit the extra modes in. I like the idea of the game mode, it's not the first time somebody has suggested it to me so i'll be sure to get a mode along those lines released with the other two new modes I have planned.
I really appreciate the kind words and the constructive feedback. Im still fairly new to android but have a passion to keep making content.

After three years of hard development me and my friend finally finished our first game. It would be awesome if you could try it and give us some feedback for future updates.
In 60 exciting seconds you have to find challenging combinations of three cards. Create a series of cards fast enough to be rewarded a higher score and other extras. Use the cards with diamonds to multiply your score or earn a Joker power-up, which will find you an instant set. But watch out for the bombs before they wreck your game board!
The matches in this game do not have to be exact. Shapes match if their color, number, pattern or figure are either the same or all different.
The game has two game modes, one with fixed cards and one with scrolling cards. You have to complete both to finish the level. In each mode you can earn 3 stars at max; 4 stars are required to progress to the the level. This version has 75 different levels with changing deck cards and win-conditions. Game of Threes grants you hours of challenging playtime.
Play Store Link
START OfF WITHOUT WORRIES:
Not familiar with the Game of Threes gameplay? No problem!
Tips and hints are provided along the way. There is also a step-by-step tutorial that explains all the basics. You can start with all the set-making action in no time!
GREAT SOUNDS AND VISUALS:
Enjoy the dazzling high definition sounds and graphics. See cards explode and diamonds sparkle.
WE REQUEST THESE PERMISSIONS:
- Full network access:
o This allows us to use (anonymized) analytics so we can improve our game based on how our users are progressing through the levels
- View network and Wi-Fi connections:
o We will also test if connections are available.
- In App-purchase:
o At the moment the game is free to play and there are no ads. There is also no other way to obtain coins, other than to replay previous levels to earn them. We want to keep the option open to make you able to buy additional coins through inner-app purchases in the future.

Just played this thing for a few minutes. I have to say WOW. I like it. I can see it becoming addictive. Took a minute to wrap my head around all the possible sets, but after a couple of timeouts, I was on a little bit of a roll. Play is good. The display doesn't seem to be too straining to stare at. Very well put together. Looking forward to more !

Hey guys great work on the game, I played briefly while waiting for my wife in the car. Really like the concept and design.
A couple of things I would give as recommendations.
1) the map is a little cluttered, there's too much going on, I would try and find a way to optimize the layout a little bit.
2) G+ with cloud saving is a must due to many people owning more than one device such as a tablet or another phone, etc...
3) expand the tutorial a little bit, make levels for people to.understand the concept, don't just write which combinations work as there's a lot of them and just reading is overwhelming, have 2/3 levels by
Staying with type of combination and introduce 1 more on the next level until all combinations have been tried.
Good luck,

3) expand the tutorial a little bit, make levels for people to.understand the concept, don't just write which combinations work as there's a lot of them and just reading is overwhelming, have 2/3 levels by
Staying with type of combination and introduce 1 more on the next level until all combinations have been tried.
Good luck,

Thnx for the feedback!
1. Yeah, that screen got a little out of hand. There are so many resources it's hard to change anything without making it very time consuming.
2. We'll look into that.
3. Good point, we already figured it would be better to embed the tutorial into the game play, but again that's going to take up quit some time, which we don't have much of
Thnx again.
So we released the game on the 27th of November last year. Now, two months after we got a little over 1200 users. We build in Google Analytics and now we know people like to play the game. They actually return and keep playing. Statistics can be found here.
Now what? Most of the 1200 users are from the Netherlands, we had some publicity on a dutch site and got most of our users that way. All the big international sites ignore us or ask for money. Is there anybody out there who knows a thing about marketing your game internationally? Without spending a gazillion euro's, the game is free and got no ads so we're not willing to invest, yet.
Working on a new stage with a story line and new features by the way.
Some feedback would be awesome, really awesome.
Thanks in advance.

If you are referring to the actual game play, It was my goal to make it difficult at first. The game requires increase in skill to master it. I speak from first hand experiences that everyone who plays the game says its hard, lol. But after a few times, they get the hang of it. If you are referring to actual controls of the game, I would really like to get some more feed back on that so I know what to improve.
Thanks,
Hey there, thanks for the app!
Yeah, it actually seems rather hard at first but then I get used to it! However, you should bear in mind that the first impression counts greatly. So if the user plays your game for the first few seconds and realize it's too hard to play, this user will most likely close your game, because it seems too hard to make any progress. Perhaps you might want to make the first session of the game easier to see more user engagement and appreciation. Does your analytics data show that everything is fine with retention D1? or the 1st session of the game?
I also like the angle of the gameplay - an unconventional one for platformer games like this.
Will there be other backgrounds? Are you planning to release it on iOS?

Hey, thanks so much for playing. I will definitely take your advice about making the beginning easier to play. I don't think I have enough data in my analytics to tell if that is an issue. I plan to release it to iOS soon, just been very busy planning out my next project. Hopefully we can get new features built into the game as well.
Thanks,
Hello, just tried your game. Had the same problem: controls are not very intuitive and responsive. Also, reduce the time between fail and starting new game to a minimum, users will appreciate that.

Hello, thanks for your reply. Given feedback from a lot of people, I am currently working on making the controls more informative and responsive before users play the game. I will also take a look at that wait time after losing as well.
Thanks,
New Update:
-New Tutorial page
-Shorter Wait time after death.
-New color theme (Yellow)
-Slight increase in jump distance.
More feedback much appreciated!
Also new YouTube video. Check it out.
Thanks,
