Feedback on new Space Asteroids Game

---

Hey Everyone,

I just finished a game I was working on for the android platform.

Check it out. Look in the market for "Space Blasters".

It is completely free, and I would really appreciate some constructive criticism and reviews.

Thanks.

You should post the APK here to

Hey...looks good but does need some work.

Things I would recommend are making the cursor move faster, adding more designs for the asteroids, the ability to save current level, and a minimum distance for the appearance of the asteroids.

This has potential to be a lot of fun and I will be keeping it on my phone.

Please rate it from 1 to 10.

I am looking for a new game..

I love space shooters, I'll let you know what I think.

It is a good start but still obviously needs work. Every time I played it, I got a FC at some point during the game. Some of the comments in the market said there was a problem with the control, to me it felt fine although it took a minute to figure out. Controlling with the trackball would be nice so I can play the game laying down. I noticed the game will change orientation when I moved the phone around, and when that happens the game stops. Ill have to hit back and restart the game again. Please disable that, either staying in landscape or portrait is fine.

I liked the unique (first person) point of view.
Some of the asteroids popped up and hit me before I could reach them in time, not a big deal but seemed a little unfair. I liked the effect of the broken screen upon impact. Maybe a short vibration when that happens would add to the gameplay.

Recommendations:

Of course fix the force closes.
Add trackball support
Animate the asteroids a little, like have some of them spinning.
Have some large asteroids spilt into pieces that have to be shot also.
Make the asteroids come from the center and have mutiple at one time.
Make the asteroids start out small and get bigger the closer they get.

What id like to see:
score.
maybe some other objects besides asteroids to shoot at.
at the end of the round the ship goes to light speed or some kind of cool effect.
end of round stats: accuracy, time, bonus, total shots fired, etc.
music, something techno

Ill keep the game for the updates, I hope it turns out well.

Thanks for the insight phatmanxxl.

Sorry for the late reply back. Much appreciated from my end and whoever read that post of yours.

Cool idea. There are some bugs, though.

For example:

1) My phone (MyTouch 3G) is in portrait mode
2) I open the game
3) I start playing. Go on to level 2.
4) I realize that the number of asteroids left (I guess that's what it means?) is on the bottom right of the screen and is therefore flipped 90 degrees.
5) I flip my phone so that it's in landscape orientation
6) The screen dims briefly while it switches to landscape mode
7) The game changes orientation and now the game is in portrait mode
8) I flip my phone to portrait orientation, and the game flips to landscape, etc...
9) I realize that no more asteroids are coming my way and the number is at 0.

Keep up the good work. I'm sure it can get better

Cool. Thank you!

@net_vampire32,

You had posted this same thread 5 times in different places. That is spamming and it is against forum rules. I have merged all the posts from those threads and place the remaining one under Android apps and games since it seems to be the most appropriate place for it, as it is not device specific.

If you have questions, let me know. Thanks.
