The game is not working for me.

I installed it from play store itself. 1.3 version.. when I open it. After the loading (green bar fills) starts.. when its about to end.. it gives error.. not sure why its happening..

Samsung galaxy y duos
Os gingerbread 2.3.6
Armv6 processor.

Sent a report too. Will provide logcat if necessary.

Can't figure out why its not working :confused:

people who are having trouble installing through play store:

Root only though...
install Market Helper http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2146216
this allows you to change the name of your phone to a compatible device (S3 or one X+ for example)
follow the steps in the app, and then search it using the play store on your phone.

Your points are completely valid (I feel the same way), though it is much easier to play on a tablet, which I do. However that's no excuse to restrict everyone to the same configuration. We'd actually had the inventory at the bottom in between the two controllers prior to release, but it just looked more natural up at the top. I will make an issue of this for our next update, adding an option to either play with the inventory where it is now or at the bottom of the screen for easier access.

As for the background not stopping on pause, thanks for reminding me. I must have just gotten used to it but it was definitely a priority of mine to fix while we were working on the game.




Feel free to pass the game along so KS Lin can try it out if you wish.

Ok so I downloaded the game earlier today but just barely had a chance to play it. As soon as I open it, it plays one second of music and then closes. I already uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I have a galaxy note 2 running paranoid android 3.5. Any suggestions?

EDIT: clearing my dalvik and cache fixed the issue!

The support is much appreciated!

This is only our second game (myself and my partner create all music, graphics and code), and I have to admit that it has flaws (which game doesn't?), but it is much better than our last previous game (Kill The Zombies). On top of that, we're learning from our mistakes and using them to improve ourselves as game developers as well as bring better/more functionality to the table for the players. All we're really hoping to achieve is to bring the same level of fun that we have creating the games to the players who enjoy playing our games. If we can accomplish that, then I believe may be right about being wildly successful, but I think there may still be a couple of new releases before that happens ;).

As far as updates go, it's difficult at this point in time as I'm 5000 miles from home right now and have nothing but a laptop to work with; one that is not able to compile the project, at that. Things are taking time, but we've got something that we hope everyone will find very amusing coming very soon! Unfortunately due to my being away from home for the next 18 days still, I will not have a chance to fix the issues that have been brought up earlier in this thread just yet. They are coming, but being at a delicate stage where we've got to try to retain users as well as pull in new users, we've made the decision (for now), to add another level of gameplay as well as some new content that we hope is exciting for the player. I know it is very exciting for myself, anyway.

Please, continue to post feedback if you wish. Whether it's been mentioned before or it's a new issue/request, we're always open to suggestions. We're not a big studio, so there's a very good chance that if your idea satisfies at least one of the two of us, it may just find its way into the game :).

P.S, we are offering fully unlocked versions of the game (ads free and all items unlocked) for translating into various languages. If your language is not yet supported, feel free to send me a message and we'll be in touch!

Loving the game! I already love infinite runners like temple run, subway surfers, robot unicron attack, jetpack joyride, etc... plus I love shmups! Perfect combo!

The only suggestion I have at this point would be to adjust the hit boxes. I sometimes get hit by enemies or bullets even though the image clearly didn't touch the character model. This makes "near miss" missions super hard

So if I buy stars I'll get the money back?

Yes. I'm going to be watching purchases until the end of march and any purchases of in-game currency will be refunded on a daily basis when I'm making my rounds :).

Understand that I'm doing it this way as to a) not have to alter the code and cause a useless update to google play and b) google only allows 500 promo codes per quarter of a year, which is far less attention than I'm trying to attract to the game!

    Save The Earth is a side-scrolling arcade shooter which will put you in control of a young, but very courageous and powerful super hero!
    The objective; defend the Earth from a race of blood-thirsty aliens whom have been traveling from planet to planet, sucking the life out
    of everything living. In this action-packed, super-adventure, it's your mission to save the Earth and ultimately destroy the destructive
    alien creeps with an arsenal of weapons and super powers. Prepare yourself, as these monsters call nowhere home. Their population
    is vast and it's headed right for Earth! Everyone you've ever known is now relying on you to fend off a devastating attack from space.
    Will you accept the mission?

    - Destroy thousands of life-leeching aliens and defend the earth from a galaxy invasion with our super awesome super hero!

    - Choose from over 30 items and combine up to 5 of your favourite items, weapons, or super powers to defeat the alien scum with
    awesome weapon combos!

    - Hours of fun and action-packed replay value in this non-stop world defense game. To top it off, challenge your friends and other
    players from around the world with Swarm leaderboards!

    - For the ones who love retro 2d arcade games with the innovative weapons system, Save The Earth combines strategy, physics,
    and an awesome theme into a thrilling side-scrolling shooter.

    - Combat alien bosses like your favourite super hero would, with cool and fun science-fiction and real-fiction weapons such as fireballs,
    homing missiles, storm lighting, rockets, worm holes, teleportation, and much more!

    - Fight your way through four different locations on Earth, including the city, the desert, the glaciers, and eventually work your
    way through the atmosphere and take the fight to space!

    Take me to Google Play now!

    KS Lin: Sorry if it's not available in your country. Are you in a country where Google Play does not support yet? We've made our game available to everyone, but perhaps there's an issue with that right now.

    ehmjay: You are correct about the game coming free, fully unlocked. We do not believe that free games should be paid for unless they're classified as a demo, but that is not the case here. We are integrating multiplayer and rankings as a form of competition (more info to follow on the multiplayer mode :p), and so if you do not want to play through all of the levels or grind your way to becoming a super hero with all of your powers, items, etc. you can instead purchase it all and save yourself a bit of time. We figure that the game will take at the very least a few hours to unlock everything you want if you're playing the most efficient path possible with purchases and missions. However this purchase is absolutely not necessary for anyone one to make, and you will not lose out on anything in the game by not purchasing anything with real money, ever.

    As for your suggestions:

    More lives: We've been hearing this a lot and while you can purchase armor in the shop which allows you to take 1 extra hit before dying, we might consider adding another layer of armor that can be purchased on top of that.

    upgrades to base weapon: This is another idea that I've been thinking about, but haven't proposed yet to my partner. This is likely something that we will put into future updates, though, as enemies become stronger.

    Stronger/challenging bosses: Of course! We have a lot more planned for our next couple of updates that we think will make the game MUCH more enjoyable and longer-lasting. Unfortunately I'm working out of country now and won't be home for 4 more weeks, so things are progressing a little bit slowly.

    Thanks for all suggestions and support. I'll be sure to keep all update mentions posted here as they come!

    Dude awesome Game! :D Would be even great if ads didnt start during games.

    There should be no ads appearing during gameplay. I'll be sure to have this issue taken care of for the next update.

    Thanks for the heads-up.

    Love the game

    This game seems really fun. Only been playing it today but it's rather addictive.

    One note though. Maybe think about moving the power activation to the bottom of the screen as it's really hard to hit the buttons on my phone without
    A) it being awkward to press, commonly have to press it a few times.
    B) covering the entire screen with my giant hand to reach the button (then I die)

    I have auto-fire turned on because on my phone my thumb takes up too much space to use the fire button.

    Also, this isn't a problem, just an aesthetic:cowboy, but when you pause the game the background still moves. Maybe stop the scrolling when it's paused.

    ;)

    i cleared the play store data. but it still won't install. (besides i'm trying to download it using Chrome on my computer, not the play store since it won't show up there.

    maybe because its a t-mobile xperia z? i have a "clean" firmware though

    it might be that my bro hasn't updated yet to the latest firmware.. and he also has the international version.. but i really think it's weird coz the phones are the same.. u can try sideloading it but we have to ask for the devs permission first.. then I can take it from data/app for you..
