[GAME][TABLET][2.3+] Paddle Trouble - Your Portfolio

Hi guys, just released a game at Play for Android devices.
The premise is simple, don't let the balls fall into the Void™ (Not really ™ed).
It starts off slow enough to get the hang of it but then it goes faster and faster and you also need to worry about
certain traps that spawn at times.
Games doesn't have an end really, it is the type of game that you can play while waiting for something.
How many waves can you last?

Kairosoft Games! Game Dev Story/ Hot Springs / Grand Prix

So I hadn't seen it here specifically, so I thought I would mention em. Kairosoft is a company that makes simulation games.
But the problem is.... Their games are terribly addicting.
The first one to hit the android market is called Game Dev Story, and it's a game that puts you right dab in the center of a game company. You have to run it, build games, win awards and even build consoles.
The second one to hit the market was Hot Springs Story, and this time you play as a manager of a Japanese Hot Spring/Hotel and it's a lot like the tycoon games where you have to build buildings and rooms, etc... This one is far more challenging but very fun.
And finally Grand Prix Story which came out just a few days ago; has you creating a Racing Team to compete in races and GPs. Possibly even more addicting than Game Dev Story.
ive heard nothing but good things about game dev, ill play it as soon as i finish the 15 games currently on my nook.

So, I just counted the number of games on my nook. I have 64 games on it!!!
That's not including emulators and most of the casual games (I mostly have them for my phone). I think I need counseling .
... and yeah, Game Dev Story is awesome! I'll have to give the others a shot.
Anyone have any info on how to unlock the surcharger or more cars with grand prix? I'm lost lol
So far, I've found most cars are earned through the Advertisers, Races, or upgrading another Car (I think I unlocked a car by doing this)... The chargers I unlocked on my first play through and didn't think much of it since I was past Y14. But I think it was through fully upgrading the Gears lineup, not sure though...
Kind of don't like Grand Prix Story after going through it 3 times... Keeping only one item that you most likely won't even be able to install right away is stupid, there's no way in knowing if the staff are going to be better or worse, you just either replace them and hope, or stick with the crapshoot mechanics or driver you have.
And finally, ending on Year 14... Why? Why not atleast year 20?
After going through it three times, my initial first play through where I knew nothing... Is my highest score, imagine that...
I think the supercharger comes from one of the advertiser (one with chimpanzee)
New car design comes from winning race and satisfied advertiser .
fastest way to grow it seems. a) after winning first round and getting 'buggy design" stick with that car. speed, acceleration, specially getting V8 engine asap.
The buggy car should win the first grand prix. after short use of proto car, just enough to win germany, where you get super car. So far this is my best, easiest car.

Guys you have to check out this walkthrough/faq! Spoilers are inevitable though >.>
has anyone found a proper walk through for this game?

Why do more games not support profiles?

So this is just a general philosophy type question, but it bugs the hell out of me.
One of the games that I was addicted to, for quite a while, was Airport mania 2. One of the best features about this game is that it had support for multiple users. That way, on our family tablet, I could play it, my wife could play it, and so could my daughter, and all our progress and scores were separate. This was so awesome it's hard to describe. Kind of like having an epiphany.
So the main question is, why do other uber popular games like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, etc not support multiple users.
Tablet are becoming more prevalent these days and most families I knew have one tablet that is shared. Not being able to separate my game scores and progress from those of other family members is really bad. I don't play most games any more because someone else in my family already does and I want to play a whole run by myself.
From a programming standpoint it doesn't seem like it'd be that hard. A separate set of stored data for each profile and a screen to let the user choose which set of data to load. However since very few games do this, I'm guessing there's more to it than that, or they just don't care...
Anyway, just rambling but wanted to see if anyone know of a reason that more games don't do this since it'd be such a great feature in a shared device world...
I would 100% agree with you. While its of more use in the Tablet world, as phones, in my experience, are shared less frequently, I really why developers of all types don't see this as a big goal in their game design process.
I mean, whether it's easy or not is relative to the code a developer produces, but in theory it is a simple addition to most games' source.

Rule the Kingdom

What you think of 'Rule the Kingdom' ?
It seems like a great idea, an rpg + sim/simcity style game.
Its free to download.
The part that I think breaks the gameplay is the huge fremium portion of the game. It takes forever to do anything unless you spend crystals, which are extremely rare unless you buy them with real money.
But without the fremium, I think the game would be great. (I refuse to spend money on fremium games)
EDIT:
Haha, just found a huge exploit in the game, so now you don't need to to buy diamonds to speed things up
The game's time is dependent on the system's time. Meaning if you go to settings and increase a day, a lot of resources you were making just finish instantly (and you get the daily chest).
There are downfalls to placing the system's time back to the real time.
What I did:
Went back to the year 2001, used the diamonds that came originally, to heal my character. Now i'm playing till i pass the game. Safely advancing the time by day. When i complete the game, i go back to today's time and wait for the new content with a loooot of resources hehehe.

I will say it right off the bat, and it goes with ANY game on ANY console; I despise freemium and pay to win. They are horrible and just scam the customer. Even when you "purchase" a game and are able to buy your way through faster and better equipment. I had a game similar to that called MyCountry and I downloaded a cheating client so I could have as much money as I wanted and actually play the game. I can't stand those. Other than that I know quite a bit of people to play that game and enjoy it, so it could be fun. Who knows.
Anyone have suggestions for similar games, pref. with no pay to win / pay to get items ?
Been looking for sim games for ages ( civ like games etc)

Or age of empire like game, or better still a port of space empires
Im surprised there are not more real time startegy games for android, as real time strategy and touchscreen controls seem to go hand in hand if done right

I am a big fan of the SimCity series and EA has a full on port of in the Play Store that is very well made. Very nice touch controls. Don't know if that's your sort of game, but I thought it was worth it. And i completely agree with the A full Touch RTS would be fantastic

Updated the original post with info to make this game free, not fremium.

You need this. Chaos Rings

If anyone missed Chaos Rings on iOS a couple years ago (which I'm guessing you did as android users), it's still worth a glance. Simply put, it's a Final Fantasy style game built from the ground up for mobile devices by Square Enix. The pixelated characters look a bit dated, but arguably better then anything Gameloft has to show off, while the backgrounds and scenes still look fantastic, throw in an entertaining story and you've got yourself a game.
The reason I mention this is because with Android games, at least for me, I pick up a hundred titles, and never put the time in to play any of them, besides my first ten minutes with a game where I go, "Oh Wow! Graphics!", then it sits in my apps until I delete it when I want more space. This is a game that doesn't require a ton of your attention, you don't have to deal with clunky controls, you can play it on the subway, it's hard to explain, but unlike other games, it's something I found I could actually put the time into playing.
Plus the sequel might hit us someday.
Now we just need the World Ends With You solo remix

[GAME] WhatsNext, A simple smartwatch game

At work a colleague and I were pitched an idea for a simple smartwatch game, naturally we jumped at the opportunity and started making the game for Android Wear and Apple Watch in our "playtime" every other Friday at work.
The basic idea of the game is that the player starts with a random number from 1 to 9, they will then have to guess if the next random number will be higher or lower, simple enough. Had a lot of fun playing around with all sorts of animations on Android Wear...
Here is a short video footage of an earlier version:
The whole game turned out quite predictable, so we decided to reward the player if they take a chance and get it right, so by guessing against all logic and getting it right you can get a lot of bonus points! After this change it became much more interesting and I think it can serve as a good time-waster, it's easy to jump in and out when you feel like it, and slowly build up that all-time highscore!
Features
Current game mode is endless rounds of 5 guesses
Take a chance and win extra points
Pick up where you left off last time you played
Detailed statistics
Strangely addictive!
It's currently available on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.knowit.whatsnext
And my colleagues game is available for the Apple Watch: https://itunes.apple.com/no/app/whatsnext.../id1083967631
Hope you enjoy!
