[BETA] [GAME] ChowHound

Hi everyone,

I've just completed development of my first game. It's called ChowHound. As the name suggests it's a kids game about a hungry dog. I need your help in testing the game, hopefully some of you know or have kids who might like to try their luck. I've enclosed links to the artwork, blog, video and a link to the beta testing service via google play.

The game is available for both the iOS and Android platforms and will work on both tablets and phones, although I think the game plays best on a tablet. At the moment it works and has been tested on an iPad 1, a nexus 4 android phone, and an iPad 3.

I created everything in the game apart from the music. It features hand drawn/painted animation and artwork and is playable in 17 languages, so if you are bilingual feel free to check out another language by changing your device's prefs.

It's not just a simply tap and jumper/infinite runner game, as you have the option of using two fingers and have to think when to tap Derek, or let him fall to avoid obstacles, or collect points.

To become a beta tester use the following link to register with the ChowHound Google community;

If you could help out I'd appreciate it. Many thanks.

Welcome to Android Forums ortolanTV.:)

What are the permissions required? My son has an N7 and this sounds like Subway Surfers which he likes playing but I have to be careful due to IAP plus overly intrusive permissions for a 7 year old.
 
Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. The game has no IAP. The only permissions are location which I think relates to google analytics. No other info is gathered. The game will be free for a limited period then listed for 99cents.

cheers

Stuart.
 
Following beta tester feedback I've now changed the way you move Derek the dog from a 'tap' to a 'swipe the screen' control. Should make things simpler
