Developers help developers - Your Portfolio

Hi folks,
I am new to app development and just released my first own game on Google Play and over the last few days i realized that it is really challenging to get downloads and good ratings.
Here is my offer to you: You review my app and i'll review yours. If you need downloads and 5 stars, drop a comment here.
My Game: "Reverse Pong" in Google Play
Description: Simple highscore game. Get as many points as you can by hitting the boards with the ball. Play risky by using the top screen edge for bouncing off to get more points. How much can you score? I tell you what, if you play it for 3-4 times you'll be addicted
Cheers,
Chrisso

A slew of popular apps suddenly are 10 cents in the Android Market

Currently on Day 4
Apps from the day before have a buffer of a couple hours so you can still grab them for 10cents a couple hours into the next day.
From Android Central:
"Something interesting is going on in the Android Market this morning. A bunch of our favorite apps are suddenly going for a dime, with no real rhyme or reason for the discount. @dirkyd3rlc and @Pat_Huey on Twitter alerted us to Swiftkey and Minecraft on sale for 10 cents, and we've found others. (Update: And in the UK, the apps are going for 10p each, not 6p, which would be converted from 10 cents U.S. We definitely smell a trend here.)"
Here's the list as it stands.

SketchBook Mobile

There may be others. (Sing out in the comments if you spot any.) Can't tell if this is a glitch (which seems a tad unlikely), or some sort of coordinated effort. Regardless, might as well take advantage.

Heres their official Announcement --->https://market.android.com/details?id=apps_timed_promotion&feature=banner
Apparently this will happen for ten days. Everyday there will be ten top premium apps for ten cents until the ten days are up. Say that ten times fast lol!
Amazon app store is doing a sale too. Here is the link for the OP so people can check it every day from any internet browser:
https://market.android.com/details?...WRfbXVsdGlfX18xX3Byb21vXzEzMjMxODcwNjMwNzMiXQ..
And the Amazon link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.ht...d_t=101&pf_rd_p=1337667882&pf_rd_i=2350149011
market.android.com is finally showing the deal. Google is calling it "10 Days of Offers, Top Premium Apps 10 cents per app"
The screenshot has Tetris, Fruit Ninja, NFS: Shift, and some air tracking app. Cool!
It's XMAS time. Whoo-hoo.
Now to only stay on a ROM for more than a week....
sweet!!
thanks for the heads up
Just came here to post and saw this thread was up. According to what GameLoft posted on Facebook:
"The Android Market 10 Billion App downloads celebration has started! Get Asphalt 6 at 10¢ for the next 24 hours!"
That only explains Asphalt, but maybe the influx of $0.10 apps has something to do with that.
Edit: akiradavis mentioned that right above me.....didn't catch that.
Does asphalt 6 work on EVO 3d. I never saw it in the market before. Thanks if anyone knows. I hate to throw a dime away

It works but you need to download an extra 500 mb I think it was.

They make a 3D version for our phone. I'm not sure if that one is $0.10, though.
Are they going to change the 10 or just use the same 10 for 10 days?

No, a new 10 will popup tomorrow (from my understanding)
Asphalt 6 is definitely worth a dime. Thanks guys hopefully a lot mire cool apps arise

Off topic as can be. But people need to see this PC game

Its a FPS online game which you gain XP and level up and stuff. It's free and SUPER addictive. It is the world's fastest shooter game. It may take a day for you to get the aiming down... But BOY this game rocks. It has been released now for about a week. Here is a link to join the game. If you join as my referral I will be sure to show you where to get some nice promo codes for weapons.

It's called Tribes:Ascend , many of you may know Tribes 1 or 2. I'll see in you the battle!

[GAME] Whats the Best Baseball Game?

Title says it all. I don't want to train or have to do stupid stuff. I just want to pitch and hit and have decent gameplay.
Thanks
I've played Homerun Battle 3D on both the Galaxy S2 and my Prime. What I like most about this game is being able to battle others from around the world online and acquiring better gear as you get better.
Was playing the free version for awhile, but bought it when it was on sale:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.com2us.HB3DLITE&feature=search_result
EDIT: Oh btw, it's only batting so no pitching.

I've been wanting to get into this ever since I bought it during the sale too but never have. Does it cram opportunities to buy stuff down my throat? I loathe freemium games.

And, OP, I've heard of a really popular one. Its called real life(jk). But, afaik, there aren't any good ones.
Sent from my tf9001 with XDA XD.
If you don't mind a baseball game that looks a little cartoony, Baseball Superstars 2011 (Paid version) is your best bet (I would say 2012, but the "freemium" nature is a bit annoying, though I would say I played an entire season and didn't need to buy anything).
The game is surprisingly deep (lots of options and strategy), and really fun to play. You can play the quick games if you want to avoid training, etc
I'm going to add my opinion on this. For a true, manager, pitching/batting team experience, baseball superstars 2011 or 2012. For an arcade, with buying uniforms, DeMarini (Vexxum, CF4/CF5, M2M, Vendetta), Voodoo etc. go for Homerun Battle 3D .... you can play users all over the world. I've played that for the last 1.5 years, recently i moved to Homerun Battle 2, which adds more batting options, characters (you can be a woman), stadiums to play at (outer space, hell, island) and different levels of attaining gold balls (you can play Duel, Survival where your health drops down and you pick which type of ball to throw to your opponent and try to get your health to the top, and Mission mode where you can play 4 other players at the same time and you have to win a certain "mission", say, hit 6 homeruns without a strike). You can also play single player in HB2 and there is a new option as well called "Burning" which will give your thumb pads a workout after playing 5 minutes (mine went numb).
Homerun Battle 3d was my favorite for years now. Both HB3D and HB2 have trial modes so you can play them before you buy
The best one is the one missing the Yankees.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
Baseball Superstars 2012, it's not a sim experience, but it's fun to play and has enough depth to keep you interested
oh yes, i forgot:
9 innings: pro baseball 2011 by com2us
pitching, batting, infielding. search for com2us
Thanks all I check out Baseball Superstars 2011. Didn't like BS2012.

Do you prefer a simulation type game or one that is more simplified into a scenario type game? We are close to launching a multi-level scenario game. If you want to keep posted on release date you can follow @kidkgame on twitter

Simulation is more of what I am looking for but I'll give your's a try when it comes out.

I've played this game for months now and haven't bought a single thing, although you do have the opportunity to buy some unique outfits. Unlike some other games you're not required to buy anything to progress in the game...

Our experience building a DayDream Game

We've worked on a Daydream game called Oz Chicken Slayer, development took a bit less than a month, it was a bit of a trial as we already work in the VR space but on Oculus.
We've documented what we did here: http://tengio.com/blog/oz-chicken-slayer-case-study/ If anyone is interested. The game is on the normal play store.
You can find the game here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tengio.oz_chicken_slayer if anyone is interested.

Hey this is really cool, thanks for sharing it. Now that I've taken a look at your website, I fell inspired to make a small VR project for daydream (a simple model with points that you can teleport too around it) but I simply don't have much time or enough knowledge with unity.
I'll be following some of the tutorials on the website and get back to you. Thanks for this, I've really wanted to develop a VR application.

So I've got the app to work on my phone, a simple app with a bunch of rings that you can fly through as a test. Now I've noticed a lot of lag with many complex shapes so I've turned down the shadow quality but it doesn't help much. So I was wondering if you knew how to bake shadows? Th only moving object in most of my products will just be the player so I don't need real-time shadows as the player does not need a shadow.
