Hi r/Android!

I'm a long time amateur Android games developer, and I just released a big update to a simple little game I'm working on. Currently it has 51 downloads so this is no big operation. It's free and without ads, please enjoy :)

It's called Pixel Flood and it's a simple flood-it style game in low-fi pixel graphics (it runs at 120x160 resolution!)

It comes with 40 levels of various difficulty, and an infinite play mode.

Hope you like it!

Edit: Thank you all for testing it! This is some solid feedback, I'll see what improvements I can do. Thanks again!

To preface this; War Z is this really rather terrible game that was thrown together hastily to profit off of the success of the ARMA 2 mod "Day Z". In short the developers actually screwed everyone a fair bit and made a shit game.

Yesterday, 'TotalBiscuit's Let's Play video was posted to r/Gaming:

The Bore Z - TotalBiscuit

Currently sitting at a comfortable +1000 upvotes, the video is a rambling rant of complaining and trashing the game.

The video is actually quite bad as he does not only point out real flaws in the game, as much as whine about perfectly normal game mechanics. *"Why don't I start with tons of gu

I happened to catch a glimpse of the trailer for his new movie, "That's My Boy", on TV last night.

Now, invariably these trailers always feature one-word extracts from reviews right; "Breathtaking", "Hilarious", "Must watch!", etc. What does vary, however, is the quality of the sources.

Please tell me I missed something, because it looked a lot to me like That's My Boy was chosing its reviews from twitter users

I was reviewing the stats for my most popular app (and it's a niche game, so it only has a few thousand active users), and I've decided to cut out ads. I'm done. Let me share the stats for January:

219,734 impressions filled. 667 clicks. For a total of $26.87. This equals about 4 cents per click, in effect.

The cost for this is that it annoys all my users all the time.

So that's it. Personally, I'm done with the AdMob 'scam', there's almost no money in it, and it lowers the appeal of our apps.

My apps are typical freemium apps, and i make a lot more from sales of the full version. Unless your app is the kind that has hundreds of thousands of users, I would recommend you

As a imigrant living in the US for a few years now, and as a conservative (at least economically) I am trying to understand what so many people here on reddit see in Ron Paul. If you have a minute, would you debate with me?

I understand he has a lot of good policies (i.e. policies I agree with), but some of his talk of complete deregulation and removal of government seems to me to go way too far.

I was having a pretty good back and forth with this guy the other day, but he sort of stopped responding when we got down to the core of it. And from other people, instead of explanations, I got downvotes (maybe I was being a moron without know it).

If someone has a few minutes, and wants to take

For the last half year I've been working on this Lemonade Tycoon style game for Android, and I was looking for some feedback and critisim if you have the time :)

The reason I made it was because I feel a lot of these games that are available for Android today are of a rather low quality, and I think the platform deserves better.

That's why I'm trying to polish this as much as I can and make it really shine, even though it's a rather simple concept. I'm still working on it, so I'd be cool to hear what other fans of the strategy game genre thought!

You can try the game for Free right here in the Android Market

I've been getting an error when trying to access their site for a while now, and was wondering if the project went belly up? I rather liked it you see...

For a few months now, I've been trying to put together a simple little memory game. The idea is to keep the game simple and fun, focusing on the core mechanic and put a lot of work into polish. Make it look and feel solid.

In my opinion there are too many half-assed games and apps out there, that makes Android look bad compared to say IOS.

That's why I'm trying to make this little game, Pixel Memory, the perfect memory game.

Any feedback on how I can better do that is more than welcome!

Thank you for your time

I've been luck and have had Spotify for a few years now, on a Norwegian account for 99NOK per month (about 19 USD). I live in the US and when they launched in the US, charging only 9.99USD for the same service, I wanted to rather pay that fee...

Naturally I envisioned a long drawn out process of either fighting with customer service to move my account and payments, or to manually create a new user and move every playlist and stuff over.

But, to my surprise, Spotify fully supported changing regions. I just chose "US" from a dropdown menu instead of "Norway", agreed to the new fee (of 10 dollars less) and entered an American Credit card's info.

Done in 3 minutes!

I just really wante

Watching the stats for my apps for some time now, I've begun to see that a huge chunk of users are simply not updating their apps.

Something like 60-70 % simply stick with the version they first got, and even several months later. They never update.

This strikes me as very strange, as I strive each week to add new meaningful content to my apps (which are all games).

Are you guys seeing the same?
