Hi,
my name is Mario, i'm a hobbyist game developer. I know it's always a problem to register on a forum and immediatly "spam" but i'm in search of testers and figured here would be a good place to find some people that want to try out some new things. So please take my apologies if my first post is in any way offensive.
I'm in the process of writting a game heavily inspired by marble madness and super monkey ball. Here's some screenshots to give you an idea (not final, coder art mind you
).
I think i have the basics done, the editor is in place and rendering, physics and control code seem to work very well. However, being the developer i'm of course very used to the control scheme so i'd like to get people try it out and tell me what they think.
Currently there's a couple of levels you can switch by tapping the screen. To control the ball tilt your phone. Upon level start the accelerometer will be calibrated so the position you hold your phone during the first 0.5 seconds of a level is the neutral position. There's no goals within levels yet so just play around with it and try out the controls.
What i'd like to know:
+ Is the experience smooth on your phone? (apart from some stuttering during startup)
+ Do you think the controls are good enough?
You can find the .apk at this address. Due to the use of the NDK you must have Android 1.5 or higher in order for it to work.
Thanks for any comments and have a nice one.
