Shift, Freeware madness

Hi everyone !
I'd like to talk about an addictive game I just updated : SHIFT !
Shift is a dynamic puzzle game that doesn't require the stylus to play, making it ideal for quick games in the metro or the bus... It is a bit hard to take in hands on the first go, but once you pick it up you just can't stop playing...
The rules are really basic : click on the left, right, upper, or lower part of the screen (or press the direction pad) to have all the blocks who can move in that direction... If you form groups of 3 or more blocks, they'll disappear, etc...
To get huge scores, trying doing combos, not leaving a single round before exploding another group, etc... Easier said than done !
Original game from TONYPA : Ununicum
Download Shift​
It doesn't look like much, but it's the same kind of addiction you get with Jawbreaker
Waiting for feedback/comments/suggestions/anything, thanks !

Man that's that game is a real addiction, and now i'm hooked great tip thanks

LoL same here thanx alot 4 this nice game

oh dear....
I should be doing an assignment, but I find myself playing shift.....oooh, how addictive.
An observation -it does place it under the programs directory when installed and not under default games directory.
Thanks for the free game....must get back to assignment....no must play more.

Thanks for the feedback
I haven't played too much with the cab maker yet, and last time I tried it didn't work at all :s

Thanks Mollusc installing now.
And all you others, don't forget to try all the other games Mollusc has done, they are all great.

thanks. anychance this is the same TONYPA who creates flash games?

Wow, faster than the previous version very much
question:
i try to play the previous version, it is a battery eater, i play 5 mins and i loss 5-7% battery, is it possible to improve?
or it just my problem?
i will test this verion later.

Yes, it's an idea from TONYPA who created the flash games I showed him this version I coded and he authorized me to distribute it (as I didn't steal his graphs/code/anything).
As for the battery, it should be MUCH better... The old version used 100% CPU all the time and would refresh the screen constantly, while this one uses much less and only refreshes the screen when needed ^^

works great on my X500, I love the ultra minimal package (one exe and that's it!). Very good game!

Great!
will u update the other games?

Yes, I will updating all the games 1 by 1, but with my exams I still haven't done all of them ^^ And I'd like to add a few missing features (like the score that wasn't viewable unless you played a game in Shift), etc...

that's cool. I know TONYPA from flashkit since I develop flash apps as well
maybe someday I can or someone can port my flash game into WM too bad i only know actionscripting 2.0

Any link to one of the games to check them out ? ^^

Some nice looking games on that site!!!

Brilliant little game. Now can anyone tell me how to get the kids to give me back my wizard ?

Simple : by a cheap second-hand PDA or a Nintendo DS ^^

Pipes
Hi mollusk, pipes is my favourite, well most played, how about adding a number of moves counter next to the timer?

It will have additional modes with moves limits and stuff like that

Thanks mollusk, I look forward to that and all your future releases.

[APP]Beer Program for Diamond (G-Sensor)

I've seen the program beer on the internet for the iphone. its a app that simulate a full beer glass (see video link),
there is also another program for the nokia n95 called pypiwo that's simulating a beer to and many other drinks.
I thinks it's a very nice idea for a new app for the diamond .
it's not a very difficult concept, the only hard part is the graphical stuff(i think don't have much experience on making programs and graphical stuff ).
i'd love to make this app by my self but i don't have the knowledge for it (any tips/lecture for learning how to make this apps for the diamond is always welcome: D)
but to the point this thread is for your thoughts about this and to find someone to make this

Greetz,
Svenss

the guitar programm would be useless for the diamond cause it dont hase multitouch.
And the beer stuff can wait.. its funny the first time and then?
looking forward for some real usefull programms

svenss there is no ibeer app for the iphone, its just a lame trick, its just a pre-recorded video of bear, and what you do is sync the video on your iphone through itunes and then its all about timing, you just have to remember when the bear poures out, you run the video using the iphone and tilt it just at the right time, it does not make use of the g-sensor/accelerometer at all, its just a simple stupid video.
But im sure an app can be developed that can trully utilise the g-sensor but that would be a waste of time for developers as it would only be amusing for a day or two, your better of just downloading the video, convert it to something windows mobile can play.

no offence but i think that there are many better ideas than this

hahaha, that guitarr app seems really cool. Sad it doesn't work on the little diamond

Hi

Br,

lol yeah i think about it and your all right.
stupid that we dont have multi touch iguitar is very cool
mwa see this then as a ****y talk forum for the beer video/ i guitar thing

off-topic: i asked before but what program language do you need to program such things for the diamond

It's easier to carry an iphone than a guitar...

You guys complain about a beer app being useless, but what use is something as a Lightsaber app? Though that gets praised sky high! I think it's a funny idea, shows off the accelerometer of te Diamond which is bloody accurate and perfect for this stuff. Would love to make an app like that, if only I had ANY knowledge of programming

I wouldent mind playing around with beer app at all.
How can I help?

lol its a idea i found but i cant make make apps,
sow how can i help you?
if you can make it, than it should be very cool

This >does< exist on the N95 and unlike the iPhone, works with the acc. meter.
I had it myself before trading it for the Diamond and had that software installed on the phone.
It was pretty accurate in the way I lifted it, the beer would move.
While it is a "waste" - I think it's a nice gimmick to have on the phone, whether its to show off or just some entertainment - like any other game that would be on it

I would love a beer program. That would be AWESOME to show off with at a party!

That could be a good learning app, maybe in a few weeks when I get my Pro I could try writing it.

im also making a Flow type game and i have already made 2 testing apps (a ball simulator using the g-sen and a magic 8 ball app where you can shake the diamond)
please donate as then i can mabey work a few less hours and actually make the apps im makeing a bit better cos ill have a bit more time..

ATX84 ~~ NRGZ28 energyrom custom boot animation ~~ Updated July 8th

I have made a new boot animation for NRGZ28, it's still in its early stages, and can only hope I have time for more. I'm a huge fan with what he has done to my phone, and he has compelled me to give back to the community.
My goal here was simple. Sometimes I forget(as im sure some of you do to) what it was like owning a stock Rhodium, and i cant even remember what the GUI even looked like. NRGZ28's ROMS, although amazing, does not change dramatically enough for me to be mesmerized everytime i pick my phone up as it used to. Although I'm sure this wont entirely do it either, it will at least remind you of what you hold in your hand! Or something like that anyways, i was never really good at public speeches
This should work for any of his ROMS
P.S.~~if anyone could post some feedback on how far the animation goes on your devices that would be great! that means the leo, rhodium, Raphael... and any other devices that have a screen of that size, on both energyrom and stock roms.. or any roms for those devices. and if you know a way to change the length given for the animations let me know pronto!! I recieved a new warranty phone and the animation isnt playing the same length anymore. not sure if this is due to newer updated roms or the fact that the energyroms tp2 splash screen isnt on there anymore, just shows the ATT splash screen. thanks
Follow me on
Buy me a beer!
​

Updated July 8th!
Cabbed/Shortened/Resized---No more BS work for you!!
Additional Notes:
1) At least on my Rhodium, the last second or 2 wont play. (the fade out) It will simply hang on the image for a few seconds. (which works just as good) The orginal was 14 seconds long and i had to speed it up as i am unaware of a way to customize the time wm gives for the boot animation. So if anyone knows of a registry setting or a program that will do this. let me know ASAP!
2) I will also work on getting a sound file for it as well if this becomes popular enough.
Install
1) Download .cab
2) Installs it directly to windows
3) It will ask you to restart
Uninstall
1) Go to settings->system->remove programs
2) Will automatically put back the default animation
Please be patient as doing 3d animations takes a long time, as well as tweaking issues just to have more arise. And don't even get me started on getting a decent gif animator, and then trying to get it to do what its designed to do

That looks really cool from the screenshots, the bouncing and then the electric explosion looking thing... haha. Cool work.
Any chance of having it just say HTC there instead of NRG? I think you would get quite a few more downloads/donations.
Also, a short video or gif would be cool so we can see what we're getting!

Idea for Startup Animation
Hi There,
I am a huge fan of energy Roms as well!
I thought the following would be cool!
X-mens wolverine blades comming through a screen shot making the famous-x and the at the bottom Energy ROM...
Wish I knew how to but maybe you can do this for us??

Hmm.. that sounds like a fantastic idea! so the problem is.. start up a new thread for more generic animations, or just change the name and make categories in this one?
Will most likely be uploading a youtube video of it today.

Yes, this was my first concept design.. but depending on where the X goes, it might require that i make hands and wrist at least(which is a little bit of work ) unless it slashes with the blades coming through the background..i forget.
i don't know the legality of putting the original wolverine slash in there, (and wheres the fun in that? ) but i will see what i can do
If anyone knows of some good x slash video's, post them up! as i seem to be having a ridiculously hard time finding any. people need to make tags better! you would think there would be hundreds popping up! but no, with the game out all i find is gameplays for origins-wolverine

i like it alot
i think its awsome. wish i had skill like that !

I went for 2 years.

[GAME] Livestock Vs The Undead Lite - Zombie TD - Discussion Forum

UPDATE v1.2 Just released onto the market
Thanks for all of the feedback. Please keep it coming. I think it's coming along nicely, next stage is to lay more in-game features.
More importantly - what do you think? The link is in my signature.
I've also started up a blog - if anyone is interested in writing their own app - it's how I've found the process.
::1.2
+ Redesigned graphics engine
+ Support for multi-sized devices including 320x480 up to tablets
+ Enhanced levelling system
+ Persisted scores and progress
+ Mute music/fx added to front screen and gameplay screens
+ Added new creep
+ Fixed FC issues on game leaving/re-entering
+ Redesigned splash screens
+ General bug fixes and graphical tweaks
---
I've just released Livestock Vs The Undead Lite v1.1 (free strategy game) onto Android Market and Amazon. (See screenshots attached)
I've tried to resolve all issues that had been raised and feel the game presents much more of a challenge. I've rewritten a large chunk of the graphics engine to handle a more involved playing environment. Added new characters, sounds and more features than I can list.
If you had tried it before and thought it too basic, or haven't tried it - please check out the new version and let me know if I'm it's starting to show any potential. If you liked it before, please let me know if you think any ways to improve it?
Sincerely - this project is being driven by feedback - so any is most welcome. All suggestions will be considered.
Many thanks,
Paul
Hi,
** EDIT : 04/06/2011 : Livestock Vs The Undead Lite is now completely free and available in the Android Market! Please check it out! **
I thought it'd be great to give and receive thoughts and feelings for my first ever attempt at an android tower defence type game. (Currently available on the android market.)
==========
A brief description:
"Only you can save the planet. Again. 'Cos you are good at it!
"The farm is under attack! It's an all out invasion from hordes of gruesomely reanimated dead and the animals aren't going to take it lying down.
"Fight wave after wave of increasing challenging life-challenged assailants.
Utilise each of the unique skills on offer from the livestock that are fighting your cause.
"This is a taste of an imminent future release."
==========
I am very new to all this and am keen to learn. The biggest question is : what do you think?
Cheers,
Paul

Under the superb advice given from these very forums I have released the game freely into the market.
Just search for 'Livestock vs the Undead Lite'.

Hi,
Very nice for your first game. Is this an original game concept by you or did you 'copy' it from another game? (I know it's based on tower defense games, but never saw a 'top down' one like this)
Played it one time now till I got to level 3, then I died
some remarks
- why is the screen shifting when I move the phone around?
- tutorial screens are not very clear plus they dont stay on screen long enough. It's like: "1 pig is 1 rocket, 1 hay is 1 shield, wait a minute.. what?" and then the screen is already gone
- also, it wasn't obvious that the chickens and stuff cost 'cash'. At first I thought they only 'cost' time. And I couldnt figure out why I couldnt build any pigs, thats when I realised I needed to build up cash.
- there's also no clear way to tell how much each animal costs in cash
- level 1 is kinda boring, I think level 1 is necessary, because you should give people the time too learn the game, but it's too long. When you reach level 2 things get a lot more interesting, zombies are coming at you in higher numbers and at higher speed (i think).
- I also think zombies get more health as you progress through the levels? But there's no way to tell, so I didnt know how many chickens to place
- Last remark: When a zombie reaches the first of your 'last defense' chickens, your basicly screwed. There's nothing you can do. Maybe you should introduce a bomb or something to push the zombies back?
- And also introduce some animals that don't just shoot up. (or maybe there are some in later levels?)
Anyway, it's pretty nice for your first game. I even enjoyed it a bit, but tower defense type games can't hold my interest for very long i'm afraid.
Hope this was of some help to you.

Hi swimon,
First of all: many thanks for your feedback.
"Very nice for your first game. Is this an original game concept by you or did you 'copy' it from another game? (I know it's based on tower defense games, but never saw a 'top down' one like this)"
It has elements of several tower defence games - I thought the vertical layout would set it out from the rest. I haven't seen any other quite like this.
"Played it one time now till I got to level 3, then I died "
Not bad for your first go!
"some remarks
- why is the screen shifting when I move the phone around? "
It allows the player to see a larger playing area that the phone's screen. I was hoping it would make the game more involving and a bit more interesting to watch.
"- tutorial screens are not very clear plus they dont stay on screen long enough. It's like: "1 pig is 1 rocket, 1 hay is 1 shield, wait a minute.. what?" and then the screen is already gone "
I agree. I think I shall add a 'tutorial' section that incorporates levels one to three. Players new to the game will then get a gentle intro to the game and repeat players could then skips these easier levels to get straight into the action.
"- also, it wasn't obvious that the chickens and stuff cost 'cash'. At first I thought they only 'cost' time. And I couldnt figure out why I couldnt build any pigs, thats when I realised I needed to build up cash. "
As above.
"- there's also no clear way to tell how much each animal costs in cash"
That was the next thing on my list to do!
"- level 1 is kinda boring, I think level 1 is necessary, because you should give people the time too learn the game, but it's too long. When you reach level 2 things get a lot more interesting, zombies are coming at you in higher numbers and at higher speed (i think)."
This should be addressed in the tutorial as mentioned above.
"- I also think zombies get more health as you progress through the levels? But there's no way to tell, so I didnt know how many chickens to place "
You are correct - the creeps (I take it you haven't gotten past the zombies yet?) do get harder each level. I did this so you'll never reach a stalemate which would take all interest out of the game. My intention is to make some shooters more powerful against some creeps than others, which should add to the strategy element.
"- Last remark: When a zombie reaches the first of your 'last defense' chickens, your basicly screwed. There's nothing you can do. Maybe you should introduce a bomb or something to push the zombies back?"
Yep. I have a number of attack methods to add.
"- And also introduce some animals that don't just shoot up. (or maybe there are some in later levels?)"
As above.
"Anyway, it's pretty nice for your first game. I even enjoyed it a bit, but tower defense type games can't hold my interest for very long i'm afraid. "
Many thanks. I know tower defence isn't everyone's flavour of game but I do appreciate you taking the time to try it out and even more so for giving me this feedback.
"Hope this was of some help to you."
Absolutely!
Cheers

Just be careful with sensor controls. It's not everyone's cup of tea first of all, a lot of people don't like it. And secondly it's very difficult to implement well (imo).
You could also easily control the camera by swyping your fingers on the screen? Maybe make it a user defined setting.
Thirdly (is that a word?): I don't really see the point of it? I don't know at what resolution you tested it, but on my Desire, I can already see every row/column so there's no need to shift?

Maybe you should change the color of the shirts of the zombies as they grow stronger, so the player knows he's facing a stronger opponent.

You could maybe also add an option to retreat your animals. When you see your defenses are going to be breached, you can quickly change one of your chickens in for a pig or a hay stack. (or something like that)

introduce one animal that shoots sideways, the player could then first place a hay stack and beneath it a sideways shooting animal!
Also lastly: This game asked me for root priveleges? that's a big no no! so please fix that.
You can always PM me if you update to a newer version!

heya,
yeah, don't know why it asks for root permission. I clicked deny and remember and the game still runs fine. So dunno...
The game is actually pretty addicting, but it's also really hard (maybe thats what makes it addicting...)
I already found a way to cheat though
When you see one of your shields (hay stack) is about to go down, quickly replace it with another at the moment it get's destroyed
You could also introduce downward shooting animals to kill off the last zombies of the wave who are still attacking your hay stacks
Looking forward to the new version, 'cause I'm a little confused by the cash/time system

Glad to see your taking on board all the advice and critique on board, THAT is what makes a dev a GOOD dev.
Thanks for listening and keep at it!

Got to level 5 yesterday,
even managed to place one cat and one cow
but i'm not sure the cash system is in balance, I wasn't generating enough cash to build the more powerful animals/defenses to hold back to numerous (!) zombies and vampires

Thanks. I am trying. I'll keep developing/tweaking for as long as I'm getting feedback (I may have doomed myself there).

heya,
yeah, don't know why it asks for root permission. I clicked deny and remember and the game still runs fine. So dunno...

It's still puzzling me that one. I've not heard anyone else being asked for it.

It should be even more so (on both counts) in the next rel.

Kind of - you'll eventually run out of money, so it's only a temporary 'feature'.

I've just updated the bullet code to handle 360 degree firing. It should start to get more interesting now.

At the moment there is a slow cash over time increase - in case you put your first animal down in the wrong column on the first turn.
You get additional cash from shooting baddies - the more so the harder the creep.
The cooldown time is more for the hardier animal (apart from haystacks which I've kept quick cooldowns).
All this will be revealed in the tutorial.

Yay - well done! I can see I've made it too easy - I can easily fix that!

Perhaps more frugal animal spending may help? On it's current settings I have completed level 12 (only once though ).
Thanks again,
Paul

v1.1 Released to the market. Please see original post for details.

Paul

Good luck! I've spent way too much time checking out new roms - my poor Desire is starting to have an identity crisis! XJs MIUI is my personal fave at the moment. Or is your 'messing' at a lower level?
Cheers,

I've had reports of memory issues and have tracked it down in the code.
I'll release a fix for this later today.
Regards,
Paul

v1.1a has just been released onto the market.
Please let me know if there are any further issues and I'll jump straight on them.
Regards,
Paul

v1.1b has been uploaded with further memory optimizations.
This should fix some of the issues a small number of you have reported.
Cheers,
Paul

New screenshots have been posted on the original post.
For the next release I am looking to persist current level - so when you come back to play you start at the selection screen of the last level you had reached (with the option to start from the beginning again).
I have also raised the bullets to the top level - as they were looking a little strange flying through friendlies!
I have tracked down a bug that was causing force closes when the game had be paused and the user returned.
I am also looking to add some more variety to the creeps, bullets and towers.
Any suggestions on what you'd like to see adding?
Cheers,
Paul

New version (1.2) released onto the market.
Please check it out and let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Paul

[VIDEO] Mods & Apps Setup

NOTE: This quick video just shows my modifications and applications on my Nexus 5. If you want me to go into detail about each of them let me know as this is not a 'tutorial' video, but more like a 'teaser'. I hope you enjoy the video XD.

Any feedback?

ill be honest, not to hurt your feelings or anything, because that's not what im trying to do.. but why does it matter to me what apps and mods that you decided to use?

ahh..
i think your vids can help more, if they got out more into the public, not really much help on xda though. more of the public is uninformed, as it would help there.

thats the problem :/ how will they reach if no one is giving feedback sharing or anything lol

I like the video. Music is good for the type of video, +1 to the wallpaper because turbos, intro is cool, +1 to the themes, I like the Settings tiling up animation (not sure if that makes sense).
Only thing I would say is smoother camera handling (e.g. min. 55, min. 2:13-2:15) and the angle you have your phone is good but at some points it's hard to tell what app, or what setting you're doing/using because the very top left is blurry.
Also I can tell I'm bored right now waiting for the wifey because I just spent a lot of time reviewing a 3 minute video lol

What's the purpose of the video?
Why not link apps and mods properly with descriptions and instructions.
Why not a step-by-step or how-to?
A 3 minute video I'm forced to watch is useless.
Why spend 3 minutes looking at something?
Now you have to pause, rewind, fast forward parts if you missed something.
Everything written out would save time and not waste everyone else's.
All I see is a video to generate views.

As stated above...I purposely made it without all that because it would be a waste of time. As I have asked what kind of videos people would like to see with no feedback, so I created this for fun. And you are forced? I don't see anyone holding a gun to your head...I mean go dislike, knock yourself out XD
