[FREE][GAME] Shards - modern version of the well known classic

[SBC_games]

Hello,

we have just released our new game Shards. Shards is a modern and revolutionary approach to the classic brick breaking game. Each of the 50 levels has its own fractal background, uniquely arranged as well as arbitrary scaled and rotated glass bricks for you to destroy. Enjoy various power-ups and a great original soundtrack. It uses great Box2D library for physics.

Enter a world of 50 levels full of glass:
- each level has its own original stunning fractal background,
- glassy bricks are of arbitrary sizes and rotate to bring you interesting patterns to destroy,
- ten power-ups will help you to clean the board,
- listen to an original soundtrack,
- play through three difficulty levels

The game is available at Google Play

This kinda reminds me of Breakout on Atari. Brings back memories...

Installing right now, looks great, sounds good too, but 31MB, and I can't really tell the difference between lite and full versions.

Tried it, it's OK but will be uninstalling it because the advertisement blocks the high score and overall graphics quality is not what I expected from watching the video.
Maybe next version will be better.

Hi, I am on LG G2 from ATT, stock device, not rooted. Could it be related to devices with on screen buttons?

Hi, I am on LG G2 from ATT, stock device, not rooted. Could it be related to devices with on screen buttons?

Thanks for response. The on screen buttons were really part of the problem. To be exact, it was 10 pixels from total 25 overlapping ones
The rest came from fact that your phone is Full HD. It has very high pixel density on small (around 5'') screen. As one type of ad should be physicly +/- of the same size regardless of the screen size or pixel density, it has to be stretched on some display types. The banner you sent in screenshot is the smallest one with pixel size 320x50. But as you have very high density of pixels on your phone, the ad would be very small. So the ad view is stretched by density coeficient that looks to be 3 in your case. It results in displaying 960x150 pixels. The banner type 320x50 is more "squarish" than other banners, so its height overlap the area dedicated for ads.

We had to adjust the area by few pixels and shift the playfield down a little bit. It should be corrected now and new version was uploaded to Google Play.

Thanks again for your cooperation.
