Developed New Game

[SpenceSouth]

Hey guys, 

 

First off I wasn't sure where to post this, so I hope this is good enough.  

I am a mobile application developer working my way through grad school, getting my M.S. of Computer Science.  A game I have been working on for a few weeks just launched in the Play Store.  It is a slider based ball bouncing game, that will probably be much funner on a tablet or Note, than a normal sized phone lol.  Anyways, I am just hoping that you guys could download and rate it just to support another member of this forum.  The game has taking considerable more time to make that I thought it would, and I am hoping to get a decent launch from it. 

 

The app is free to download and is ad-supported.  I'm trying to live off of my app revenue since I am now pursuing a M.S. in Computer Science in a new city, so if you guys could throw this on your tablet I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Also, if you feel so inclined, I'd really appreciate it if you guys could throw up a quick review if you have the time.  It helps with the Play Store SEO.  Soon I'll have it launching on iOS, Windows Phone, and Windows 8 as well. 

 

Thanks so much for your guys help!

You have to start somewhere

Yeah I know this style of game has been done A LOT.  It was just my first venture into games, so it seemed like a good starting point.  I am going to expand on what I've already made a lot, then get into more original games.

Its a great start, im sure that your future projects will be pretty awesome. If i was you then back the background something else like space or something like that, its hard to make wood look high quality and well space just looks better.

Tried the game out for 5 minutes just for fun.  Some things to consider:

 

1. Personally i do not like the fact that you have to tilt it. Personally i would prefer just 2 arrow keys.

2. There is no sort of game over or anything when you die.

3. The hi score thing does not work.

 

other then that, it was all right.

Yeah that background was one of my placemakers and I just never changed it.  I have a friend who started doing some graphic design for it, so I am hoping they could come up with something better in the future.  She actually designed the logo and the intro screen. I'm no artist so I just went with what was good enough.

I've gotten that feedback about the tilt before.  I am going to add a menu option so you can either control it with arrows, or you can slide the slider manually.  I've tested the hi score functionality out quite a lot and it seemed to be working prior to this.  It just doesn't work at all for you, or the score is wrong?

Okay I've actually gotten the bug too.  Weird, this was working before.  I'll try to get an update out later today to fix it.
