Hi guys, Ive just released a new game to Android Market called Radiant Silver Sphere, you can check out all of the info you want here:
Radiant Silver Sphere out now! ($0.99 Android & Blackberry) | radiantsilverlabs.com

Here is the free demo on market:
https://market.android.com/details?...antSilverSphereLiteMain&feature=search_result

There's a free demo and a paid version for $0.99, free demo has 15 levels and gets you into the feel of the game (but starts verrrry easy to try and catch casual users at the beginning too)..

Anyway please grab the game and see what you think - if you wish to review the game and put that review on a blog or site, somewhere on the net, then I can send you a free copy of the game as a thank you :) So PM me I`ll get you that free copy then please let me know of any reviews that go up, positive or negative I dont mind :-)

Alternatively, if you buy the app and review it, let me know then I can add you to the beta testers list for my next game if you wish to be a tester :-)

Thanks,

Hi sonorox,

I'm impressed with the gameplay! I downloaded the lite version, but I am definitely going to upgrade to the paid version.

I also have been working on an app, it's called Assassin Master find it here...

This is the free version with the Paintball Gun, you can upgrade to the Glock, Shotgun and Unlimited Paintballs for
 
Thanks guys for your responses! Assassin Master looks very cool and what a great idea! I will definitely check it out when I get my phone re-connected (too much coding not enough time to pay the bills lol)..

If you guys like it please give me a good review and some high stars :-) its really tough to cut through the sea of 1* reviews that inevitably pop up on whatever is released :) (apart from Angry Birds of course).. Maybe we can "help" each other out with decent reviews if we genuinely like each others products :-)

Anyway awesome to get some feedback...

ps. my username is sonorox because I made another app called Sonorox (a sort of music sequencer), feels a bit long in the tooth right now but back in the day it was a finalist in ADC2 :-) Free now too..
 
I've played through the first 7 levels of the demo and find the game quite interesting. At first I was indifferent but the game is really growing on me and looks like it will be quite addictive. The one thing I would love added to the game are retro-type PC gaming sounds like those that were in the old Apogee games like Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure AND Duke Nukem 1 (a better example is the old Softdisk Gamer's Edge game called PARAGON but I couldn't find a YouTube example of that one),...anyway the ball in Radiant Silver Sphere hits something and a warm fuzzy sound is made! :) I don't know if it's even feasible, but I always love sound cues with the visual ones.

One minor bug I noticed is when you first enter the game and hit Play on the Beginner/Advanced/Expert screen, a message pops up on how to play the game but it flashes off before you can read it. Possibly have it keep displaying until you tap the screen?

Keep up the good work! I'll probably be buying the game today or tomorrow once I get through the demo.
 
Thanks very much for your feedback! Im glad you are liking it, not had many conversations about it so its valuable to hear what you have to say.

The game originated in J2ME for nokia phones and I have a special port + conversion tool to get the Android one working, the sound was eliminated because the conversion tool needs 1000EUR to support sound, otherwise there would be some quite cool sounds in there :) I had hoped no one would notice, but its inevitable :) I like your ideas for the sounds, and I agree, Im thinking I will either pay the license for the sound if it sells, or I will find some other way to do it using Android (kinda tough without porting the source code perfectly to android) then I will re-do them using MP3s, so it should sound awesome!..

The screen that flashes up and goes was always on the screen too long on the old devices, as it stays up during load time only, thanks to the immense power of the chips in these android devices (not to mention the dalvik vm) its going too quick! Lol, I guess I will put a wait in there I may re-word the instructions if theyre not clear enough?

I worked on this game so long over the years I cant imagine that its like to fresh eyes!

Anyway Im very grateful for the feedback and any more feedback is welcomed !

AppLibs just approved it and got it up on their tablet app store which is nice, and Ive been merrily setting up a new website in drupal if anyone is interested :)

Cheers,

ps, demo is super easy but it gets harder :)

PPS. if anyone can try it on a tablet and let me know how it works, it would be great :-)

That would be great! Can't wait for sounds!! :cool:

BTW, I like your video showing the different aspects of the game. It was great to watch learning about the different blocks and the strategies for playing the levels. Nice stuff!!
 
Hi, thanks for the comment on the video, I hoped it would help some people work out what the games all about :-)

Ive just stuck my free game demo on the mikandi adult app store too just as an extra way of trying to spread word, theres nothing adult about it of course but I dont see why they'd kill it :) Already got 2 downloads!

And someone gave me a 5 star rating on Android Market also! So if it was one of you guys thanks very much, its brought my average right up :) If you can add a comment too it would be awesome, I think users look at the top 5 comments an evaluate whether to buy or even try.

You're welcome! It's a fun game and I was happy to comment. :)

One small thing,....would it be possible to have a small delay at the end of a level if you score on a box on the exit? Right now since I can't see a visual cue I can't tell if I'm hitting and scoring or not.
