Diamonds - my first Android game

[roguemat]

So I just published my first Android game: Diamonds - Balls of Bounciness!
It's got 30 levels, and global leaderboards.

Let me know if you have any suggestions/feedback

It's also available on Windows Phone naturally

p.s. I'm aware of a bug on S4/S5 where it is pretty difficult to click the play buttons. It seems to be a Unity bug which hopefully they'll fix soon (http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/4-6-ugui-mobile-touch-button-not-working.266503/)

Is it a clone ("loving remake") of Breakout?

Awesome, congrats man! I'll fire up the ol' Nexus this afternoon after work

No, of a game called Diamonds
Although there are blocks, the play style is different. You have no paddle at the bottom, but rather the ball constantly bounces up and down and you control the left/right movement.

well done.

the laugh is a cracker, and the gameplay is just frustrating enough to keep trying.

 

[Park@82]

Congrats. will try.

 

[joeymojo]

well done. Will give it a try

 

[Park@82]

How about giving it a tilt control option?

 

[roguemat]

Thanks for the rating in the store guys, really appreciate it!

@Park@82, I considered it, but the later levels get really hard and it would just be impossible, so decided to leave it out.

I take it this leaderboard is not linked with the WP game? Any plans to link it?

It is linked. Both WP and Android people come up in the same list.

Just realized that, I'm still in first place from level 1 to 9.
When are you bringing VALA over to Android, would love it on my Nexus

Grrr, I know Hopefully an influx of Android users will give you a run for your money ;-)

I'll look at doing that in the next few weeks

This game needs more players or should I say some challengers to the leaderboard

I was so amped when I beat you in level 2 last night, and now I see you beat me
The wife beat you in some of the later levels last night AFAIK.

I saw it today, but I reclaimed my position in levels 1 to 19 so far.
