[APP][1.3 - updated 16/10/10] Dust Beta - Version 1.3

fredley · Aug 16, 2010

Hi guys/gals

I've just got my first Android game to a reasonably stable state, though this assumption is based mostly on emulator work. I only own a N1, so I have no idea whether this app will even run smoothly on older hardware. I'd love to hear some feedback, here's a market link and apk, enjoy!

Description:
Herd little particles of dust off my desk, racing against the clock. Either battle for high scores in time trial mode, or try and tackle 5 mazes (more coming!) in three levels of difficulty.

Changelog:

1.3:

New bonuses, black hole and bomb!
Updated Instructions
Minor Fixes

1.2:

Fixed Rotation Bug
Added ability to share scores

1.15:

WORKING on Samsung Galaxy S!

1.1:

Added bonuses (time bonus or freeze bomb!) on Time Trial mode
Fixed sound levels
Minor bug fixes

1.01:

Fixed crash on finishing level 5
Fixed back button
Fixed typos

Screenshots:

Great job!

Searching for it Market gives me:

Code:

There are no matches in Android Market for the search: [B]pname:tommedley.android.game[/B]

Also, downloading the APK provided, installing it on my Android OS 1.5 on my Motorola Backflip, I get the error:

Code:

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb install dust.apk
283 KB/s (1876582 bytes in 6.475s)
        pkg: /data/local/tmp/dust.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]

Very nice game. It runs smooth on my HD2. You may want to put up a screenshot or two and give a little description of what the game is.

I made an article for it, which will go live soon. This should provide you with enough feedback.

I have only compiled against 2.0 for now (and as a result there are some incompatibilities). In the future I will get around to making it work for 1.5+. This would also be why it didn't show up in the market for you, sorry.

Did it Force Close? What version of Android are you running?

I haven't tried the game yet but the instructions has a spelling error. You wrote "Normal - not to bad" when it should be "too." Just a heads up. Going to try the game now.

Thanks! I've also noticed the target image is wrong too...

Nice game

aside from the spelling error, you can't exit with the back button in the main menu...

Runs fine on my Magic 32B, with Eclair

Galaxy S

I just tried the Market-version on my Galaxy S but no matter what game or level I choose I only see a blank desktop, nothing else. Home/pause buttons work fine though.

nice game!

That's very interesting. Are you handy with logcat? Would you give me a hand if I sent you a debuggable apk? I'm afraid all I can give in return is kudos

Game works great on my evo (froyo). Same for me with not being able to exit the game with the back button. Home will close it though.

This would be due to me catching and ignoring all back presses

. The reason I do this awful thing, is that if you go back from the menus, it will go back to the game, which has finished, and crash the app. (The game itself happens in a separate activity). If anyone can give me a tip on how to avoid this that'd be grand...

Looks fun, I have a Galaxy S so look forward to it's support.

fredley · Aug 17, 2010

Any chance of helping me debug? I don't know anyone personally with a Galaxy S, so it's going to be impossible to fix otherwise!

I could yes. Right now during the day I don't have a usb cable, but if I can do it all on the phone using terminal if needed that's fine. Later I could hook up if needed. PM me what you need. I'll download the app now.
