Good evening everyone, I don't know if this is the right section to write so I apologize in advance since I just joined recently however I need your help because I'm at my limit now. I can't find nor remember the name of a game on the Play Store that I played years ago and it was beautiful, I've tried looking everywhere both in the list of my downloaded games, saved ones and also on various sites but nothing, so I ask here in the hope of finding it. I apologize in advance if it will be a bit of a confusing explanation however I have vague memories about that game. So the game was kind of cardboard type and it was a point and click almost on the yellow/horror themed escape room genre, I remember at the beginning of the game just before the title screen you see a scene of a shadow of a man (If I remember correctly he had a pig mask however since I don't remember this detail perfectly let's make it some kind of clue) holding a weapon (Which I don't even remember what that was, maybe an axe type or a chainsaw if I'm not mistaken) and in front of that of a little blonde girl and the scene makes it clear that she has been killed. Then I remember you're in this room and exactly you have to look for various clues to escape and at some point you find the little girl sleeping I don't remember where, and you try to figure out with her how to get out, and at the end of the game the protagonist comes to find out that the key to get out of the room is in the girl's body and then the scene from the beginning of the game comes up where he kills her to get it. But the nice thing is that if you restart the game and do a different action than the one where the little girl dies you finally manage to hide from the murderer (Yes there was also a murderer you have to hide from in one part of the game since he wanted to kill the little girl and afterwards you kill him if I remember correctly) and find the key and get out together with her. Guys I ask you to please help me, has anyone ever played it or remember the title on the Play Store? Sorry again for the somewhat troubled explanation

I was looking through the android market and I didn't see any game like the ones on those game machines at clubs and bars these are Some good game sets did I over look them if so can someone point them out for us? If there's none, would anyone think about making an game set with the hottest bar game machine games thanks and sorry if I put this in the wrong section
I see what your asking, good thought.
I have something to offer you, althought not what your asking ;P
I just wanted to spread the word to you about "Three man" It's a dice game that you drink to, it's always a fun one at the bar. If you search market you will find Three Man, by Deke Brown. It's a fun game, his rules are a bit different then the ones I play but it's the same concept.
I would like to say though, I like the idea of a list of these types of games, I love photo hunt ;P
I've been holding off on posting about this here until now because there was nothing really ready to be shown off anywhere outside my buzz account. Well, it's still nowhere near ready for prime time(it's not even really a game yet and crashes horribly on the Droid) but I think I have enough to at least show off where I am in development.
Without further ado, this is Cellulon: Attack of the Virii. It will be a 2-d platformer with 3d elements(the models and such will be in 3d, just no 3d movement) for the android platform. The idea is that you play as a citizen of Cellulon, a civilization of single celled creatures. The planet is attacked by an alien race called the Virii, basically a race of viruses who are bent on taking over. You work your way through stages trying to stop the Virii and save your planet. I'm planning on having upgrades where you can pick up pieces of RNA and drop them in a representation of the nucleus that will be in the lower right corner, and allow you to various new things like floating upwards, shooting needles, climb walls, etc.
I'll also likely release a level builder where 3rd parties can create and distribute their own custom levels.
Anyway, this is still under heavy production(nowhere near test ready) but I'll throw up some screenshots here(to be updated time to time) of where I am currently. The first screenshot here is of the game so far running on my Nexus One, and the second is a screenshot of the PC-side level creator running in ubuntu.
Just put up a video with my progress as of today(now has a bit better of a model for the cell with better animations and better collision detection): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb8XQVHH_Rc
This is still very early in the development stages, only has two levels, and no enemies. Nevertheless, it's a fairly difficult level and is bug free enough to let everyone play with it. The controls are pretty straight forward. Hold phone in landscape mode, tilt left to go left and right to go right. Press trackball or menu to jump(dpad center on the droid). Try to reach the far right side of the level to win(it will pop up a little banner saying "You Win!". Fall to your death and you lose. Either will require you to press back to quit and restart the level to continue playing(from the beginning).
Update: Now has a 3rd level featuring enemies. Getting hit 3 times by the enemies will result in a loss. Kill the enemies by slamming down onto them, by jumping over one and then swiping down on the screen. Getting hit or hitting an enemy will make you bounce off of it.
Also, everyone let me know what you think.
I really like the level builder idea, especially if its robust and easy to use...looks promising.
It's viruses, not virii. You've got your Latin wrong.
I've put up another video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBsCsPbgiII.
For this one, I used a screen capture program for Android, which is unfortunately very slow(thus the really slow refresh rate). Nevertheless, I'm hoping this can give somewhat of a representation of what my new refraction effect looks like. I'm quite proud of it, and plan for the main character to look very close to what's shown in the video(depending on the background, of course)
Lookin' good man. Kind of reminds me of a cross between master blaster and sonic the hedgehog 3 (when you'd get the water bubble and bounce around). lol
Hate to bump my own thread, but I have a fairly good reason. I have put up a test version of the game(it's still in really early development and is just one level with no bad guys) for everyone to play with. Read the first post to see details on controls/errata. Enjoy!

yeah thats what I was finding also. I decided to learn how to make android apps before I go into games, maybe it will help me understand better.
New update up. Now has a 3rd level with a new addition: enemies.
nice haha. we need more platformers for android
My Apologies to Mods, for any mistakes this time ....
suppose this may have been asked in the past, not that I am seeing it in this annoying similar themes frame that keeps sinking lower and lower on my screen as a I type (ARR!!), but I am looking for the interface from original Splintercell games.
To be honest, I have never played the new games for the franchise but I am particularly disappointed with the direction they have taken. The suit and silenced pistol were the trademarks of Splintercell and without them, that game is likened to Grand Theft Auto.
If anyone could make a realistic OPSAT interface in line with canonical Splintercell, I would really appreciate it.
hi, any ideas ?
hi
is it possible to save all my apps i downloaded , so if i install another ROM i can still have them ? thanks in advance
Hello everyone,
here is my first game called "HeadacheFactory".
I wanted to create a game without any enemies. The only enemy you have is your sense of orientation which you will surely lose in the process of the game.
And even though I didn’t believe anyone would ever make it through the first level, my youngest nephew managed it after just two days. So, I had to create another more complicated level.
It is available on google play. Just search for HeadacheFactory.
Let me know what you think and of course post problems running the game on your device...
Regards
Thomas
Going to download. Can you tell the concept of the game?

You have to navigate through a labyrinth. If you touch the walls, you have to start from the beginning or a savepoint that you have reached before. You've got to collect the purple dots, otherwise the grey square is growing and it is even harder to get through the labyrinth. And to make it even harder, the hole playground is rotating and zooming in and out, so you are going to lose your sense of orientation.
There is a little video on google play, that explains the gameplay. But the best way is to start playing. My nephews love it...
let me try
Missing this days big forum like XDA, i was a active user in Android Central now into XDA.
The game concept is interesting, please upload the screen shot.

awesome game.. reminds me of super hexagon.
great execution.
let's see how far i can go hehe.
Edit : (pics)
Thank you for the response and posting the pictures.
I didn't know the game super heaxgon so i had a short look. That game looks fantastic and you are right, HeadacheFactory is a little bit like it.
If you're interested in what it looks like when you play HeadacheFactory.
Take a look: http://youtu.be/_OQ6grU9Tns
How far can you go?
Hi there! I'd like to announce my new game.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixeloxygen.internalclock
Gameplay
I find the idea of the game quite unusual, but my opinion might be biased, since its my own game
So, in this game you won’t need to jump, fly, shoot or anything like that. Instead you will need to observe a spinning arrow and understand how fast its spinning. Then, when you’re ready, you need to tap the START button and the arrow will become invisible.
However, it won’t stop and will continue moving. Now, your goal is to predict when to press STOP so that the arrow stopped inside a sector on the circle, which appears right after you push START.
This sounds quite simple, but I find the game quite addictive. Of course the game gets harder each level to keep you entertained!
Also, I guess it should help you training your internal (aka mental) clock, this means playing this game is good for your brain

I would love to hear your comments, because I have few more similar ideas and want to understand if these types of games are interesting to play to anyone except me!
Thanks for reading!
There was a cool minigame in Alan Wake (PC game) just like this.
Pretty cool man!
Interesting game, the graphics are very clean and straightforward. Easy to play, good job man
Really addictive game. Spent quite some time after installing although initially only wanted to take a quick look!
Good
Thanks everyone for comments! It is really great to get some feedback after working alone on this game!
Enjoyed the game, its actually quite different from existing games which is rare. I do have a few suggestions though
Personally I'd prefer it if the button moved a little faster, felt a little slow paced
The name is very hard to find by searching, although I like the name there are a LOT of apps trying to rank for Ninja
I found it irritating having to start again at level 1 after losing on a higher level
Personally I don't like it when apps disable the back button

Thanks a lot for such a detailed feedback! I really appreciate this!
I know about the name, but to be honest I don't know if any name will guarantee you any visibility in Google Play, since even by a search query "Time Ninja" my app doesn't show.
I also thought that restarting from the first level might be not the best decision, but I wanted to create a game that is really hard to master, but in the same time you can play in it any amount of time (e.g. while waiting for the bus or standing in line). By the way if you close the game at Level N you won't have to restart when you open it next time. So you don't need to beat as much levels as you can at once. On the other hand, I didn't want that players just beat all levels by randomly pushing the START/STOP buttons, and if you have nothing to lose (i.e. game progress) then you won't try as hard as you can on every level.
However, I might add another play mode in the game where you need to beat levels and current mode will stay as an "endless mode".
Regarding the back button. I'm using cocos2d-x for development and not doing something intentionally (e.g. didn't write any specific code) to block back button. I'll take a look at this. Thanks for letting me know!
Once again, thank you for detailed feedback!
On the subject of the name there are a number of things that affect your rank for a search term, one is downloads (which you can't do much about) but another is how many times the term appears in your description (up to 5 occurances). You don't have Time Ninja in your description at all. Fitting it (naturally) into your description several times probably still won't get you to the top but will probably put you on the page.
Thanks! I didn't know that app description matters so much. I guess I'll need to go and read more about marketing before making improvements and working on my next game
Good
