Default [Android 2.1+][Game] Anti-Squish

Preface:

Owners of Galaxy S series devices will likely know me as the developer of the free open-source firmware flashing tool suite, Heimdall. What a lot of you probably wouldn't know is that until very recently I worked as a professional freelance game developer, typically being involved in medium-to-large-scale 3D FPS and action games. It's even less likely that you would know that late last year I tried my hand at creating my first 2D Android casual game, Anti-Squish.

About Anti-Squish:

Anti-Squish is an addictive touch controlled casual game. Your goal is to score points by helping flies starting on the left or right side of the screen safely make their way to the opposite side. Prevent them from colliding with each other and make sure they don’t get SQUISHED!

Use the in-built high score system to compete with friends on the one device, or upload your scores online to compete world-wide.

Anti-Squish comes with three main game modes plus one additional unlockable mode:

Classic (Easy, Medium and Hard):
You have 5 lives. See how high you can make your score before running out of lives. Different difficulties adjust how often flies spawn and how often swatters appear.

Rush (1 Minute, 2 Minutes and 3 Minutes):
You have a time limit and unlimited lives. See how high you can make your score before running out of time. The quicker you save flies the faster they will appear. Your score grows much faster if you save multiple flies in a row without letting any die.

Survival:
You have only one life. See how long you can survive without letting a single fly die. The game gets progressively harder over time as you save more flies. Your score grows faster the longer you survive.

Hidden/Unlockable Game Mode: (???)
A bit of detective work should get you the name of this game mode. However you’ll have to unlock it to find out what it is… or ask someone else, but that spoils the fun!

Lite vs. Full Version:

The Lite version only includes easy and medium difficulties for the Classic gameplay mode. The hard difficulty for Classic mode and the other gameplay modes are only available in the full version.

The Lite version still allows you to upload your scores online for the game modes in which you have access to.

Background:

The original version of Anti-Squish and Anti-Squish Lite was made available in November 2010. However it was only a week ago that the game received a complete graphical make-over. The make-over replaced all my terrible programmer art with the beautiful graphics you see above. Props go to Amora Leite for producing such wonderful artwork. The graphical update also included a few minor functional improvements and the game mode available in the Lite edition was changed from "Rush" to "Classic".

Anti-Squish is our first ever Android game. We're hoping for at least a small amount of success so that we'll be able to produce larger games and applications in future.
