Title: Block Shift (Android)
Target: Android (maybe iOS in the future)

Hello all,

A friend and I have been working on a project in the past two weeks, and we would like to invite everyone on androidforums.com to be a part of our beta test!
The game is called Block Shift. It is a 2d puzzle game, in which you "shift" blocks from the side of the screen to their designated place which can be seen on the minimap.
It is going to be a free game, with in-game advertising. We are aware that the game has a couple of bugs (such as odd animations), we felt these bugs weren't serious enough to remedy straight away.
Rest assured, we will fix these before the release on the Android Marketplace.
This is going to be our first release, and we are very excited.
What we would like from you: Feedback and criticism! We would like to know what you think of the game.
Also, any weird crashes or bug reports are appreciated.
If the game doesn't work on your phone, please let us know! The game is currently lacking sound, and we are still looking for a sound artist. (Anyone ? :P)
Download Link (to be opened on any device with Android (game is currently optimized for 800x480 resolution)): http://www.doublebluffstudios.com/Blockshift/Blockshift.apk
The game ofcourse contains scaling to support larger or smaller resolutions.
The game currently also contains OpenFeint integration with achievements and high scores.

The team-website is still a work in progress. We're learning on the go.
Thanks

Calvin and Kevin

Known Bugs:
It crashes when exiting the game causing it to not save map progress
For some reason it appears to have rendering bugs only on the Samsung Galaxy S, the S2 doesn't have this problem.

Hi guys,

It might be a good idea to give it a different name so it doesn't get confused with my iPhone game Blockshift - BlockShift for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store especially if you are thinking of doing an iOS version.

Game looks fun - good luck with your dev!

Michael
