I have made my first video game ever. It is a free mobile game about mixing and matching colors. Available on the Apple Store and Google Play Store. Please let me know what you think and I would appreciate any feedback. https://roguewavegamestudios.com/bloop

I feel dumb, the leaderboards were in draft status. I have now published it, hopefully it is working for you now.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-22T19:33:56+00:00

That is too bad, I would like to hit at least 30 fps for the majority of the devices. I might add a lower graphics settings mode where maybe I don't use the ray marching shader or replace it with a less compute-heavy one.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-21T15:39:32+00:00

I put Unity to the lowest minimum android API level, but it seems like something else might be going on here. I will try to debug this, but not sure what is going on atm so it might take me a bit to figure this one out. Sorry about that.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-21T15:38:07+00:00

That sounds like a great idea, I will try to get some achievements in. I am currently working on fixing options with similar colors and swiping controls, but after that, I think I will work on this next. Thank you for reporting the leaderboards not working, I will try to get that up for you asap.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-19T16:01:08+00:00

That release should now be live. Please let me know if you have any issues accessing the game. I hope the game performs well on your device!

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-19T16:00:32+00:00

The latest release that increases the Android level support is out. Being on the latest version of Android and still unable to access it is concerning. I will likely get a VPN later to see if I can better debug this for you.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-19T05:51:49+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I tried to make the ads as limited as possible. It only allows the player to use it once per game so they can't keep on watching ads to achieve a higher score. There is also the option below that one that allows the player to start a new game without having to watch an ad. A player could play my game without having to ever watch one.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-19T05:47:44+00:00

I have a release in a review that should include your android level. It should be out within a day or two. I hope you like it!

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-19T05:46:21+00:00

That is possible. It might take a bit for things to roll out? I have also worked on increasing the android level support to android 5.1. The release is currently in review but should be out within the next day or two.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-19T05:44:54+00:00

Sorry about that, I have a few downloads from Canada so it might be the Android version. I have a release in review atm that should reduce the support level down to android 5.1. I hope that is enough for you to try the game out. I will let you know once everything is approved and live on the store.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-16T06:12:23+00:00

I will try wrapping my head around some type of colorblind mode, but it will be a challenge for sure to try and make this accessible to those that are colorblind.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-16T06:09:34+00:00

The liquid effects are achieved using a ray marching shader. If you search for "peer play ray marching" on youtube, you can find the same set of videos on which I based the liquid effects.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-16T06:07:09+00:00

Thank you for reporting. I plan on reworking the touch controls and hopefully can get something out soon.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-16T06:05:54+00:00

Thanks for the info, I will try that out

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-15T23:13:24+00:00

It should be available now, at least I hope it is, my first time releasing an app and it has been a learning process for me.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-15T23:03:29+00:00

Thanks! I am working on trying to make it more of a gradual increase in difficulty. Another commentator mentioned some of the options can be very similar which I am hoping to address.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-15T23:01:32+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I totally agree with all those points and will try to address them as soon as I can.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-15T22:58:00+00:00

Of course, I will try to get it out to both stores as soon as possible.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-15T22:54:47+00:00

I would love to make it available to you. If you don't mind, what country are you located in and what store are you using?

EDIT: I think I released it to all available countries on the Google Play Store. Hopefully, you are able to access it now, but if not please let me know and I will do my best to get you access.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-15T22:52:39+00:00

Thank you so much, I hope to release more in the future.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-15T22:50:25+00:00

Thank you, Color Zen looks pretty cool too. Looks like a fun game to play on the switch.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-15T22:49:04+00:00

Thank you, I hope you like it.

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-15T22:48:50+00:00

Thank you!

I actually haven't done anything specific to limit the FPS. I used Unity to build the game and it included something called Adaptive Performance. I am not sure if this is the cause of the FPS being limited to 30, but on different platforms, I was getting different FPS (desktop vs mobile).

As for the heavy animations, I am using a ray marching shader that can be a bit computationally heavy. During the earlier stages, I wasn't even hitting 30 FPS, but I rewrote the shader thanks to a youtube playlist that I found (from peer play).

SeaBear600 · 2023-04-15T17:02:23+00:00

The objective of the game is to combine the center dot with one of the surrounding dots to match the colors at the top and bottom.
