The Play Store link doesn't work for me.

fate 2013-12-17 03:43

@mtinkerhess
It's still be processed by Google, just give it another hour or two and it should work.

mtinkerhess 2013-12-17 03:53

Awesome I'll check back later!

Ha ha. Hilarious description in the play store. I approve of your humor. Unfortunately, the game crashes as soon as I open it on my Galaxy Nexus. Let me know if there's some trick to getting it to work, or if an updated version is pending in the play store, and I'll come back to play it. : )

fate 2013-12-17 04:45

@code-11 it should run fine :( compatibility for android is such a pain. Does it give you the option to submit a bug report? That will send me a stack trace so I can see where it's crashing.

Good job! It would have been nice to control the stone with the accelerometer, and maybe pick up power ups and use them whenever you want (keeping in memory only the last).

Won't run on my Nexus 7 with android 4.4..:C

romandtom 2013-12-17 10:09

Nice work!
The gameplay concept is quite cool and fun!

fate 2013-12-17 10:10

@KumoKairo OpenGL seems to report a syntax error while compiling the shaders on some devices. I working on trying to fix this.

goerp 2013-12-17 11:54

That was great!
I really liked the broom of death. Curling should be that way!
And the music was great as well, did you make that too?

fate 2013-12-17 12:08

@goerp Thanks :) Yup music is original, although unlike past Ludum Dares I didn't write it within the competition. I would have liked to but didn't have enough time so I just chose an older song of mine.

really good engine, great looking graphics, dulls out a bit but otherwise great game

landosystems 2013-12-17 18:53

Ran smoothly on a Nexus 4. Yep, this could be addictive. Great plot screen, espcially when paired with screeching guitars. Hit detection is hard but fair, powerups are interesting (make sure you play until you get a broom), and controls feed responsive. Solid game!

kirbytails7 2013-12-18 06:50

Pretty solid. Ran well on a Galaxy S3 except for the graphics; I had a lot of flickering triangles. Quite fun regardless!

biscuitdough 2013-12-18 07:09

Crashes on my htc 1x :(

gagapete 2013-12-18 07:22

Great job. A fun game, it would be nice if there would be leaderboards or other ways to challenge a friend. I'll keep it on my device until I run out of storage space again. ^^

fate 2013-12-18 07:38

@kirbytails7 hmm triangles is a new one, especially strange since when I wrote this I was testing on a S3 :S

@biscuitdough I'm guessing it's the same bug other people have been getting. I've just found a friend that has a phone that it crashes on which means I can test it and fix the bug now :) so hopefully it will be working in a couple of days.

@GagaPete yeah I would have loved to put leaderboards in it. I plan on polishing the game up and adding a view features like leader boards and in-game money/store. But wont be able to update the store link until after the judging is over, so keep an eye on it :)

fenixin 2013-12-18 07:56

Nice game. Didn't really like the controls, though.

zambini 2013-12-18 08:35

Probably the sickest soundtrack of any LD game! Really kicks the curling up to the next level broomaneuver.

glovecat 2013-12-18 10:38

It doesn't work on my smartphone :(

hyoga-3d 2013-12-18 10:53

Nice game, but maybe the controls needed some improvement.

derosa 2013-12-18 11:53

It run flawlessly on my Nexus 4 (just for the record). I liked the new concept of "infinite curling" :)

tex-killer 2013-12-18 13:09

Doesn't work on xperia play.

atomicvikings 2013-12-18 13:43

can not play it because I have no Touch Handy (only a ugly Nokia :D) But I can rate the sound. What will ich give? (Big Metal-Fan and Electro) Hmm ^^ <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

mrblade 2013-12-18 17:58

This looks great! Too bad I don't have an Android. I would play it other wise.

playhabit 2013-12-19 00:44

We saw a texture or shading issue when playing it on an HTC ONE X.

Other than that, everything seemed to run smoothly.

sknoslo 2013-12-19 00:58

I also saw the flickering triangle bug on my Galaxy S II. Fun game otherwise!

fate 2013-12-19 01:00

@PlayHabit Oh wow, that's quite something. Thanks for posting the screenshot though. A bit hard for me to fix though since I don't have a device that it does that on it.

fate 2013-12-19 04:01

For those people who were experiencing the bug that caused it to crash at start up, it should now be fixed :D if it's still crashing just submit a bug report.

archaeometrician 2013-12-21 16:20

Nice an android game ! Thank you :D
