GalaxyHopper
It'is time again: I want to introduce my new game to you. It goes by the name "Galaxy Hopper" and is a puzzle game.
Where download?
Here's the direct download: Download
And here's my homepage: Homepage
The . Cab is approximately 5.5 MB in size.
Game idea:
There are five difficulty levels with 12 levels to choose from. In each level your task is to bring the UFO to the middle of the board.
Any object can be moved in all 4 directions. The only rule: They'll fly until they hit another object. Moves into free space are therefore not allowed. That sounds simple, but it is not ...
Technology:
The game is based on OpenGL and has therefore very smooth animation and effects. The intro is realized as a so-called motion comic and there's an atmospheric soundtrack. Some screenshots can be found below.

Installation:
Simply download the cab file and copy it to your device. Then tap it and follow the instructions. The best the game is installed directly on the device, but an installation on the memory card is also possible (albeit slower).
Compatibility / Troubleshooting:
The game was originally developed for the HD2. Other devices (such as the HD) should of course be supported, but here I cannot promise anything (just try it!).
On older devices the game will probably not run due to missing OpenGL support.
If the game does not start, crashes or freezes a soft reset should help.
Updates
Version 1.1 is now (2nd of February 2010) online. It fixes some bugs with the levels as well as other minor things.
So, what do you think guys n' gals?
Some kind of Feedback would be nice
WOW another great one !!! Thanks Vankurt
I'm gonna try it this evening on my HD
Wow! Nice, great stuff looks fantastic and runs great on the HD2
I would add the [GAME] tag to the title of the thread if I were you, helps with searching and notcing great new games
I love this game it is really great!!!
A little bit more smooth on the HD would be nice
Well the game game was designed for the HD2. But I've heard from many people, that it works fine on the HD as well.
Maybe you have something going on in the background?
Or a strange ROM on your phone?
Or it just needs a soft-reset?
One thing you can try is to turn off sound (music and effects). There seems to be a little bug in there...
Let me know if it helps! If so, I'll fix that.
will try it out and posy my review on it
nice game!works great on my HD2 but it's not anything heavy! I was expecting it to be more graphics demanding..
Allrighty! The first update is out, mainly fixing some issues with unbeatable levels. Plese use the download link on the front page to download the latest version (1.1).
Is the updated cab file for 1.1 having file size of 5,628,486 bytes?
Yes, indeed it does

Hey guys!
I just finished my second game for Windows Mobile. You can download and check it out for free (full version is only 2.99€)!
Click here to download Tripplix!
Here's the games website:
Visit the Tripplix website!
The idea of the game is to match three (or more) blocks of the same color to blow them up. Chain reactions, large groups or multiple-groups-at-once bring extra points.
The game gets harder and harder while the clock is mercilessly ticking
When you're game over you can submit your score to the online highscore system to compare them with other players.
Some screenshots:

The game includes two different graphics sets so that it will run on low resolution devices and high res devices as well. Also normal and wide screens are supported (so everything from QVGA to WVGA should be possible). The game langauage can be set to English or German.
If you encounter any problems, find bugs or have ideas how to improve the game: Just post em here! This is your direct wire to the developer
Update 1.1:
Changelog:
- Performance slightly improved
- Bug in highscore system fixed
- Some rendering problems fixed
To install it just download the game again and install it over the old version.
(It should say v 1.1 when loading now)
thanks a lot
it looks amazing..
Looks and plays ok, but you would think that moving a row of blocks would be liquid smooth on a 528MHz processor like my Diamond has.
Lack of optimization in the engine kinda takes away from the experience. Imho.
OK, thanks for the info. I tried the game on 3 devices (XDA Orbit, Diamond 2 and HD2) where it worked fine. So I'll spend the next days trying to improve the performance
Allright, here's a liitle update (1.1).
Changelog:
- Performance slightly improved
- Bug in highscore system fixed
- Some rendering problems fixed
To install it just download the game again and install it over the old version.
(It should say v 1.1 when loading now)
Thanks for the game, I love the online Highscore...
that's really great to see you out there once again dude !!!
I really like this game and I'm gonna buy this one too really soon
Here is a small review of the app : Tripplix Review
Hi VanKurt
Beautiful, simple and addictive: the right formula
Hey, great game! I want more of those
Great game, I am having problem trying to purchase. I input info into the form, and "Submit Query", but nothing happens Is there another way to buy full version? Thanks, hope to see more like this(especially supporting VGA )
Let me guess: your PopUp-Blocker ate the popup?

I wish After checking your reply here I did set popup blocker off and try again. hmm... So, after entering info and press submit it acts like it will load, but then just goes back to the Triplex homepage I will try again from my device maybe or my other PC later. Let me know if you have another suggestion, maybe something I missed
As mentioned above there should be a popup. So trying a different browser/pc is a good idea. God, I hate web-development
hi dude !
it would be great if we can put the game on hold in order to come back later because a round can take a lot a time...
thanks again for this awesome game !!
BTW, I've also just bought it
I'm really surprised there isn't much more comments out there because this game is awesome !!!
Anyway, I've got an other suggestion VanKurt
sometimes when you move a square, it match with an horizontal and vertical line in the same time but there is only one being taken into account So could it be possible that it delete both lines ?
cheers
Mh, yeah that would be nice
I'm quite stressed at the moment, but I've added it to my ToDo list. Thanks!
great !!!
And no worries, take your time
FootballInformer is an WM app provides football/soccer real time score for most of the soccer/football leagues worldwide. You can also add match to Calendar or to Favorities.
Data are prepared on my own server so its data friendly too
App if FingerFriendly thanks Obelix_A and his SliderList control
Its first version and you can download also from web for this app.
This version is primary for WVGA devices. Probably it will be work on other resolutions too but not so nice, because there are only "skin" for VGA.
Tested on WM5, 6.5 and 6.5.x

UPDATE [12-6-2010]:
1. Now you can manage position and league as you wish.
!NOTE if you want add image or change some exist for league, go to the install folder and paste .png file with your own (flag) image. I am using resolution 40x40 for image
2. Fixed Favorites
3. Autorefresh is prepare
thank you. any chance to have swiss leagues added too ?
by the way, tested on my i900 wqvga and it works. a bit hard to navigate, but it works.
Thanks for this. It looks like a very interesting application. I will try it and post my findings.
First thing i noticed. The bottom bar (Settings, Refresh, Favorites) is cut in half like the first 2 screenshots you posted.
Also, do we have an Auto-Update function? For the live matches? Or it's just manual refresh?
It looks very promising app. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for comments.
Bottom bar is half on picture because is "hide". When you click on it, it will grow up.
Autorefresh is good idea
To Corwin9S: swiss leagues is not problem I will add ;-)
Add the Romanian League and i will marry u , joke aside, love this app

Bah, stupid me. You are right with the bottom bar. It's working fine. It's great that you are considering autorefresh, it ill be perfect.
Also it would be nice to have as many leagues as possible for the users to choose. I for example would like Greek and Cypriot leagues.
Again well done, it looks like a very promising application
Edit: Just noticed some small typos: Actuall Results instead of Actual Results and Favorities instead of Favorites
Thank you very much for this app.
Looks very prommissing
rybar73,
Any plans to include the league tables in your next release ?
Actually my plans are make application for more sports results. I have prepared data for tennis and hockey now. So this app will be more about live results.
But I am big football fan so maybe later
to stathis95194: typos was fixed thanks for note
Software was updated to v. 1.2.
You can download it from author's website. It's indeed a great update.
Thanks a lot rybar73
Dear All,
We have just released our latest game for Windows Phone 7 and are looking for people to test it on Windows Phone 8. We would like to know if the game runs smooth and looks good. In the meantime we are working to port this game to Windows Phone 8 and make it resolution independent with HD graphic support.
The game is available for free. If you have the time please let us know if it works good on WP8. Thank you kindly.

DESCRIPTION:
A while ago we decided to tackle an old classic called Achtung die Kurve. This game has received quite some cult fame as a multiplayer game under students to release some stress during study breaks, and that is exactly how the idea started to revive this classic. Our initial plan was to design an AI for this game so that it could be enjoyable to play on a mobile phone. The problem with other Achtung games out there is that the AI is very simple and easy to beat or even non existant.
To design this AI we could not use a standard predefined algorithm, but instead had to combine various methods to make the AI more intelligent and harder to beat. And what started off as a challenge for ourselves ended up better than expected so we decided to turn it into a full game. We have worked hard to make the algorithm as efficient as possible and push the boundaries of the devices to achieve great performance, yet keep the gameplay challenging and fun.
To top it off we gave it a nice chalkboard design and composed a catchy theme song.
The game is completely free, please check it out and let us know what you think! If you like the game, please rate or review it.

We hope you like it! We had fun making it and are currently planning a Windows 8 port as well.
SCREENSHOTS:
Well Guys, here we come!

First of all, thanks to this big community we recently joined.
Actually we have been working on this game this last month, My partner in business, my GF and me.
That's our first of many games that we are working on it so we want to give a little push up and we are listening to everything that can improve our apps, specially our first game!
Actually we are working to improve our Google play store presentation with a video and better game screenshots. And we are about to release an update with google services and fix for aspect ratio.
Also we put some ads so we are interested to hear in the way we show it if its so intrusive or its fine or we can change something.
At this moment there is no payment content.
Although we listen for game improves, bugs fixes and other suggestions.... Everything its welcome!

About the game:
We made this game thinking about how to make a game of geometry dash kind with a medium-high skill level. After all we decided to make 5 different games mode:
- Classic: We consider this our mainly playable mode, all you have to do its to dodge the incoming obstacles that come from the down of the screen. Just take it easy.
- Reverse: That's the same as classic but we changed the orientation side, for this that who prefer obstacles coming from the upper side.
- Frenzy: That's where the things start getting hard, to dodge the obstacles you have keep pressing the side or the the cube will come back and hit the obstacles!
- Frenzy Reverse: Same as before, but changing the orientation for those who like more
- Master mode: That's where the things get real hard and you want to kills us for making this kind of game, now you have one side going up and the other going down, with the play-style of frenzy, so you have to keep touching the screen to dodge! Prepare your fingers!!
Consider to download it and rate it, if you do it and you want we can rate back your application too .

The game is indeed insanely hard.
Also the description could've be polished a bit, as now it's made for play market.
I will try! THank you
We have rewritten our game Shards - the brickbreaker into Unity and it is finally available in Windows Store (our first Windows Store game).
It is classic arakanoid / brickbreaker clone with 80 levels (each with unique background) and is free (supported with ads).

Game crashes immediately after tapping on the first level. Tested on Lumia 950 with the latest updates.
@sensboston - thanks for reporting. I tested it on my Lumia 532 (reinstalled from store), which is pretty low device and it works. Your device is much more powerfull with hires screen (1440 x 2560). I tried to simulate this resolution in Unity and game scales well with no errors thrown. But unfortunately, I cannot test it on real device. If it is some Unity bug, it will be hard to track.
I hope some crash report in WS console will give me a clue what happend - however, so far all reports just reported "Unknown" error
@SBC_games, save detailed log file and stack trace to the app's storage, I'm able to copy & send that file to you.
Also, have you checked your game on the latest emulators (Creators Update) release?
https://mspoweruser.com/near-final-...update-emulator-image-now-available-download/
P.S. You may also send me a non-store package for testing purposes (and for easy log file extraction), I'll be glad to help you.
@sensboston - thank you, I appreciate your help very much! You can send me logs to email "sbcgameshelp", which is at gmail.com.
Tomorrow I will prepare several package versions with stripped features, so we can see what is causing crash. Game scene is the only one with two cameras for example.
@SBC_games, sorry but I don't understand - what logs, what is the file name supposed to be? OK, take your time and send me a link (via PM) to special version, and I'll help you.
I just received an update for this game and now it doesn't crash anymore on my 950

thanks for info. In the end we had to remove screen deformation effect. It looks there is some bug in Unity when rendering into RenderTexture.

I had issues before but it works fine now! Thanks so much! By the way, have you considered adding xbox live features to your game like leaderboards, game hub, stats etc. It's pretty easy to get into the XBOX Live creators program. You could also try [email protected] too for the all the XBOX Live APIs that the AAA developers use. I would have sent you a link to register but I don't have enough posts so you're going to have to search for "XBOX Live Creators Program" .

Thanks for tip! It is currently out of my capabilities. Some time ago I had to limit scope of my activities - it is now Unity and HTML5 game programming. There is so many other araes I would like to explore, but, you know, it is not possible to do everything.
