[27-12 Update] Red Roll (deb)
 

Hi, everyone! I'm back with another game. Well, a part of it at least. I developed it on and off starting this summer and now it's in a state where I can release it to public. It's (yet another) bouncing ball game, but I added some new elements to it. First, the controls - you roll left and right by tilting the device (if you don't like this, press O on keyboard to toggle on-screen arrow keys), but you jump by dragging your finger across the screen. This way you both aim and control the distance of your jump. Not sure about the portals, I haven't seen them in such a game, but the idea sure isn't so original nowadays. Then, there's a rewind feature, somewhat like the one in Prince of Persia : Sands of Time. If you missed a star (you have to collect them all to finish a level) or anything else, you can rewind last 5 seconds of gameplay, and resume playing from that point in time. Less restarts and less frustration, which I hope is a good thing for a mobile game. Besides the usual acceleration tiles, you also have one-way tiles (blue) and that's pretty much it. The main big feature is the integrated editor. You can make your own levels and play them. The thing is - you can't still share them. That part is in active development, and we hope to finish it soon. You'll be able to upload your levels directly from the editor to our servers and also browse for other people's levels and play them with just a tap or two. So if you're feeling creative, make your levels now and save them, and when the online system is complete, you'll be able to upload them. Android and desktop Windows/Linux versions are coming soon and will all be compatible, just like Reverstris. Ok, this was a bit of a ramble, I hope I mentioned everything relevant :) Here are some screenshots and a download link :

DOWNLOAD (click me, direct download link, updated 27.12.2011.)

Actually haven't tried installing it through Application Manager, but this works for me :
Also, I know the physics/collision can get a little glitchy around corners, but if you find any more bugs, please let me know. Thanks, I hope you have fun ;)

your very skilled.. interesting idea... could be the next tetris!

Re: [Announce] Red Roll (deb)
 

Is it a kind of boune (The one in the old nokias???) :confused:
If so, then I love the concept.
Where is the download link, or is it in App catalogs???

Re: [Announce] Red Roll (deb)
 

Yup, it's quite a rip-off of Bounde :) The download link is below the last screenshot, I made it a bit bigger now. I still have no clue how to put something in the official repositories, so that'll have to wait for now.

Re: [Announce] Red Roll (deb)
 

Of course it is Open Source, yep? Source is available from garage?

Re: [Announce] Red Roll (deb)
 

No, it is not. I wrote the source and I'm not planning to release it for various reasons. Maybe the "engine" part one day, but not the whole game.

So, how many people successfuly installed it? Played? Used the editor? Any thoughts? :)

Re: [Announce] Red Roll (deb)
 

Thanks for answer. I think you may want to add information about license somewhere in the first post - preferably, somewhere early - this will save You questions like mine, and will save time of people like me, who couldn't care less for closed source games on N900.

Just suggestion.

Well... you're welcome. Anyone enjoying the game despite it being closed-source?

Re: [Announce] Red Roll (deb)
 

It's a bit like Rock'n'Roll, isn't it? Loved that game.

Re: [Announce] Red Roll (deb)
 

Yup, something like that :) Tried this one yet?
