[GAME] WhatsNext, A simple smartwatch game - Wear OS Software and Hacking General

At work a colleague and I were pitched an idea for a simple smartwatch game, naturally we jumped at the opportunity and started making the game for Android Wear and Apple Watch in our "playtime" every other Friday at work.
The basic idea of the game is that the player starts with a random number from 1 to 9, they will then have to guess if the next random number will be higher or lower, simple enough. Had a lot of fun playing around with all sorts of animations on Android Wear...
Here is a short video footage of an earlier version:
The whole game turned out quite predictable, so we decided to reward the player if they take a chance and get it right, so by guessing against all logic and getting it right you can get a lot of bonus points! After this change it became much more interesting and I think it can serve as a good time-waster, it's easy to jump in and out when you feel like it, and slowly build up that all-time highscore!
Features
Current game mode is endless rounds of 5 guesses
Take a chance and win extra points
Pick up where you left off last time you played
Detailed statistics
Strangely addictive!
It's currently available on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.knowit.whatsnext
And my colleagues game is available for the Apple Watch: https://itunes.apple.com/no/app/whatsnext.../id1083967631
Hope you enjoy!

Kairosoft Games! Game Dev Story/ Hot Springs / Grand Prix

So I hadn't seen it here specifically, so I thought I would mention em. Kairosoft is a company that makes simulation games.
But the problem is.... Their games are terribly addicting.
The first one to hit the android market is called Game Dev Story, and it's a game that puts you right dab in the center of a game company. You have to run it, build games, win awards and even build consoles.
The second one to hit the market was Hot Springs Story, and this time you play as a manager of a Japanese Hot Spring/Hotel and it's a lot like the tycoon games where you have to build buildings and rooms, etc... This one is far more challenging but very fun.
And finally Grand Prix Story which came out just a few days ago; has you creating a Racing Team to compete in races and GPs. Possibly even more addicting than Game Dev Story.
ive heard nothing but good things about game dev, ill play it as soon as i finish the 15 games currently on my nook.

So, I just counted the number of games on my nook. I have 64 games on it!!!
That's not including emulators and most of the casual games (I mostly have them for my phone). I think I need counseling .
... and yeah, Game Dev Story is awesome! I'll have to give the others a shot.
Anyone have any info on how to unlock the surcharger or more cars with grand prix? I'm lost lol
So far, I've found most cars are earned through the Advertisers, Races, or upgrading another Car (I think I unlocked a car by doing this)... The chargers I unlocked on my first play through and didn't think much of it since I was past Y14. But I think it was through fully upgrading the Gears lineup, not sure though...
Kind of don't like Grand Prix Story after going through it 3 times... Keeping only one item that you most likely won't even be able to install right away is stupid, there's no way in knowing if the staff are going to be better or worse, you just either replace them and hope, or stick with the crapshoot mechanics or driver you have.
And finally, ending on Year 14... Why? Why not atleast year 20?
After going through it three times, my initial first play through where I knew nothing... Is my highest score, imagine that...
I think the supercharger comes from one of the advertiser (one with chimpanzee)
New car design comes from winning race and satisfied advertiser .
fastest way to grow it seems. a) after winning first round and getting 'buggy design" stick with that car. speed, acceleration, specially getting V8 engine asap.
The buggy car should win the first grand prix. after short use of proto car, just enough to win germany, where you get super car. So far this is my best, easiest car.

Guys you have to check out this walkthrough/faq! Spoilers are inevitable though >.>
has anyone found a proper walk through for this game?

You need this. Chaos Rings

If anyone missed Chaos Rings on iOS a couple years ago (which I'm guessing you did as android users), it's still worth a glance. Simply put, it's a Final Fantasy style game built from the ground up for mobile devices by Square Enix. The pixelated characters look a bit dated, but arguably better then anything Gameloft has to show off, while the backgrounds and scenes still look fantastic, throw in an entertaining story and you've got yourself a game.
The reason I mention this is because with Android games, at least for me, I pick up a hundred titles, and never put the time in to play any of them, besides my first ten minutes with a game where I go, "Oh Wow! Graphics!", then it sits in my apps until I delete it when I want more space. This is a game that doesn't require a ton of your attention, you don't have to deal with clunky controls, you can play it on the subway, it's hard to explain, but unlike other games, it's something I found I could actually put the time into playing.
Plus the sequel might hit us someday.
Now we just need the World Ends With You solo remix

Bunny Goes Boom - fly, avoid & explode game and my first WP release!

Hello!
I'm excited to announce, that I finally got WP device, GameMaker license and WP developer account, so I will be releasing my games to Windows Phone Market! And first of them is... Bunny Goes Boom!
It's a fly and avoid game, where you control a bunny (or a piglet) strapped on a rocket (or a shark) to avoid various level-dependant objects and reach the heights no critter ever dreamed of. At the moment it has 2 levels, 2 riders and 4 rockets, which are all unlockable with a bit of in-game currency.
So it happens, that game is free, has no IAPs (for now) and no ads. Maybe it will stay that way.
See for yourself: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/bunny-goes-boom/e919af3c-b00c-4ccc-8199-53d5cfc8acff
Sorry for crappy store screenshots, I couldn't properly take 768x1280 it required, so recorded landscape, which looks a bit weird. Game runs in portrait mode.
I'm planning to release Shurican and Iron Snout too, so if you'd like to be notified when that happens - let me know!

What games are you playing?

A couple years back, I LOVED gaming. I can't remember a day where I didn't love to game. Anymore though, most of my gaming consists of Magic cards and Chess.
So, let me know what you guys are playing, and more importantly, why. I haven't gotten around to playing these, buy a few years back these were the games I loved:
* The entire KOTOR series. Best RPG, amazing story that branches off from the main Star Wars story really well, and you get to be a freaking Jedi. For 3/4 year old me (gosh) it was a pretty great series. Admittedly, I didn't play KOTOR 2 until Thanksgiving of 2014. I played through them both during my break, and had logged over 100 hours over it... So KOTOR consumed my break that year. It's that good. The best part? KOTOR 2 runs on Linux. I don't know why no one has made the original available on Linux but Wine is always an option. KOTOR 3 is pretty much a bigger meme than Half Life 3 at this point...
* Left 4 Dead 2. When I was a kid, my mother and I used to play it. You get to slaughter zombies. Pissed that zombies keep beating you? Well guess what? You can be a freaking zombie. Enough said. Runs on Linux too. Certainly a title very close to me. More so than Half Life ever was (yes, I said that)
* ALL OF THE FALLOUT AND ELDER SCROLLS GAMES. EVER. I started with these games at a very young age... About six. I played Oblivion religiously. Over several years one of my characters had over 2k hours of gameplay alone. It's a bit different now. When I was a kid I used to fantasize that something so surreal could one day be real. I guess that imagination is part of the reason I love technology so much... Because it's a real solution to the unimaginable. I played Skyrim, loved Fallout NV, am still trying to get through Morrowind, and blew my way through Fallout 3. I love these games. I wish I had Fallout 4, but hey, there's so many of them that you can't have them all. I haven't played TES Online either.
* Trine 2. Love the mechanics, love the stupid story, love the Linux support, and I love the graphics (even if I am blind lol). 10/10, would play again.
* Stardew Valley. I've never played it, but I've seen gameplay and it reminds me of Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing holds a special place in my heart because it was the only game my family could really play without fighting lol (sad truth). I love the mechanics and from what I've seen of it, it looks brilliant. Linux support is there too. Check it out. It's sort of like Harvest Moon but better (farming simulator).
Those are a few of my favorite picks at least. I used to game but now I really don't except for over breaks like Christmas break and the summer. School is pretty dear to my heart.
So let me know what you guys are playing. If you want to add me on steam, my username is: eyecantcu
Whoops... Sorry everyone. I'm not sure this complies with forum rules. It isn't directly related to hardware
Just to get the ball rolling on this thread:
I've always played and am still playing competitive, multiplayer games. I used to play COD a lot on the PS3 (I know, basic), and did the same once I got my Xbox One. Then eventually rocket league came to the Xbox, so I started playing that a lot, and when Overwatch was released I picked that up as well.
Now I've recently switched to PC, and on it I still play Overwatch and Rocket League a lot.
Rocket League: Love the nearly infinitely high skill-ceiling. Every time I feel like I've perfected a mechanic, I find something else to work on. Really satisfactory.
Overwatch: I just love the mix of teamwork and individual skill. You don't only have to improve your aim and positioning, but learning how to work with your team has great effect on the game as well.
Besides that, having the competitive system to show me how well I'm playing really motivates me and makes it worth playing the game.
Duke Nukem: I cut my "gaming" teeth playing Duke Nukem against coworkers on a bastardized network at my office during off hours.
Command & Conquer: We then started playing Command & Conquer in a bracket type best out of three competition. The entire C & C franchise were great real time strategy games.
Warcraft: I got my daughters addicted to these games and as a family we would play against each other. What actually happened was my daughters and my wife would gang up against me and try to completely destroy me. Most of the time they did but every once and a while I would win.
Diablo: The entire series. Every game, every expansion to date. I've always loved the game and still continue to play to the date.
Fallout: Again the entire series. I also still play one of these games several time a week. I'm way behind but just recently got Fallout 4 and the scenery in the game of gorgeous, you know for a post apocalyptic world and all.
Terraria: This sandbox type game is great for when you just want some mindless exploration in a vast and varying universe.
* PUBG. Yes, it's a little cliche at this point, but a buddy and I thought it looked fun, and now I am on my uni's E-Sports team for it.
* Factorio. Lots of thinking involved, and I love thinking and optimizing things.
* Fallout/Elder Scrolls/Witcher. For when I need to get my open-world RPG itch scratched. Have dumped thousands of hours into these series.
* Minceraft. For when I am playing with a few friends that run huge servers (I do command block stuff for them).
* Borderlands. Mindless shooting. 'nuff said.
* Final Fantasy/Legend of Dragoon. The JRPG itch never goes away. A whole world awaits each time.
I have a 2TB drive dedicated to keeping all of my games downloaded, and it's nearly full. I have lots of games that I play, but those have been the main ones the last few months.

This is general... just like any other one chatting it up about anything will be allowed so long as it doesn't descend into madness.
That said I'm still largely playing Destiny 2. I have PUBG but suck horribly and have yet to finish the new Wolfenstein.
Slowly going to catch up on the backlog until FFXV and Ace Combat 7 both hit next year. Those are my must-haves for 2018.
