Ricochet - An Android puzzle game

Showcase
#1

This is my first Android game, I have been working on it in my spare time since May 2010.

I plan to release a lite version (with ads) and a full version which includes a level editor.

Click here (Android APK: http://goo.gl/ZHUvJ ) for the beta release of the lite version. It currently only supports devices with a resolution of 480x800 or higher.

I did all the programming and graphics (please excuse the programmer art).

Feedback is welcomed.

I finally published a lite version of my game to the Android Market, you can find it here: http://www.androidblip.com/android-games/ricochet-lite-105516.html

I fixed the resolution bug and it now supports all resolutions.

Thank you,

Tony

I wouldn’t call it Ricochet if I were you, that’s trademarked by Reflexive Entertainment.

Cas :slight_smile:

Call it Angry Blocks instead.

:slight_smile:

#5

Or put the word zombie in it to continue this stupid trend in the Apple app store.

Angry Zombie Blocks?

I think we might have something here.

Good to know, thank you princec.

Has anyone tried it out? If so what device? Was it fun?

Thanks you,

Tony

Angry Zombie Blocks ftw
I tried it, ran very smooth on my galaxy s :slight_smile:
It was pretty funny as well, an awesome time-killer.
Although I would like the ball to fly in the opposite direction of where my finger is, it seems more natural to me that way :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks Captain Awesome for the feedback!

What’s interesting is I used JBox2d for the physics which seems to hold up OK. I did have to go into the source and cache some values to improve performance. I too have a Galaxy S phone and a couple of my friends have a Droid Incredible and Droid 2/X which all seem to run fine. I’m interested in how it runs on lower end devices. Some peoples comments mention it crashes – which I can’t reproduce on the emulator. I’m guessing it’s some sort of ClassNotFound/Method type of exception. I’m thinking of catching any crashes and sending them to my server to analyze the exceptions.

Interesting, I’ll have to test that out! Maybe I’ll include that in the options. Thanks!
