    [GAME] Is it possible to turn the game of social media into, well, a game?

    You are welcome B. Diddy! Got another link too. The game just released on iOS. Surprisingly, it is doing much better than the Android version (over 50% more sales in just two days!). I guess Android users don't like Twitter and/or Word Searches as much as iOS users. Twisted Tweets Word Search...

    Hello from Teesquared

    Thanks everyone. I'm enjoying the forums. They are a great resource for app developers.

    [FREE GAME] Color Tap - Game by Hut Beach

    That's a great question. I probably should have said engagement instead of reward. The style of game you have is popular. The reward is just progressing further. Maybe you could simply break up the game play with a screen that says "good job, you got to the next level, ready set go!"

    [GAME] Is it possible to turn the game of social media into, well, a game?

    Twisted Tweets Word Search was just released on Google Play and Amazon. This game was independently developed by me. It's a cross between a Twitter client and a word search game. Is it possible to turn the game of social media into, well, a game? Check it out and let me know what you think...

    Anyone having browser performance issues with Android Central?

    So with IE, I initially turned off Flash but I need it on for some games I like to play. I think what helped me the most was running AdBlockPlus. That eliminated a lot of the ads that were hurting load times and stopping page scrolling.

    [FREE GAME] Color Tap - Game by Hut Beach

    So I liked the game and thought it was innovative, polished, and fun. You want more feedback so .... I thought the difficulty was a little too high (frustration vs. reward ratio) for me, playing with color made me feel like I need to adjust my brightness or play in a dark room to do better, and...

    Anyone having browser performance issues with Android Central?

    My situation was desktop but I could see how it would be more of a problem on mobile if they don't have a custom mobile version of the site. If I could offer a suggestion to AC, I'd say replace the scripted ads with static images. Also, maybe make a pass on some of the pages to see which ones...

    What is your favorite strategy game?

    The two mobile ones that had me hooked were Puzzle Quest (RPG strategy) and Dungeon Raid (Roguelike strategy). These are both hybrid games that combine genres so maybe they don't count as strategy. But, they are both fun and addictive.

    Anyone having browser performance issues with Android Central?

    Thanks SpookDroid. Per your suggestions I enabled AdBlockPlus (it works with IE) and disabled the Flash plugin. Things do feel a lot snappier now. I still see a few ads which is fine. I just didn't want the slowdown. It's not 100% fixed (I think because some pages are just huge) but it is...

    Anyone having browser performance issues with Android Central?

    Personally, I use IE (yeah I know bad choice) but I also tried Chrome. This site, especially the forum sections, seems to have a lot of slowdowns with both browsers. I get javascript warning messages and even an occasional crash. Are other folks also having this issue? Is there a fix? I tried to...

    My android game is out, now what?

    So I got some feedback from other threads. Here's the advice I have so far. This site and xda-developers are great for posting new Android releases to possible customers. Each of them requires prior forum activity before posting to announce a game is allowed. This makes sense since it prevents...

    My android game is out, now what?

    Any suggestions on where to post or what to do to get the game noticed? I keep getting emails from sites that want to promote or review it for a cost but they just don't feel right. Thanks for any feedback.
