Rana Alpha is a brain teasing game with currently 48 levels. It starts simple and gradually increases the challenges. The objective is to find a path to the finish with restrictions differing per level. There is no time limit, although speeding up increases your score. On the 3 leaderboards you...

This graph at Kwart van Android-toestellen draait op Lollipop | NU - Het laatste nieuws het eerst op NU.nl shows that Android 2.3 (and lower) decreased to less than 4%. So, putting effort in those ancient OSes is not that meaningful anymore.

I started a Google AdWords campaign for one of my games. And now I try to find a suitable value for the target CPA. The help doc of AdWords is not that clear about this matter. Please, could you give me some advice?

In the mean I figured out that Google Cloud Messaging is suited for my apps. I use my own database for storing the Device IDs. After querying the database and sending a message to the registered device, the NotificationCompat can be used to show a notification.

Hi, Since older Android versions are not secure anymore, is it wise to develop apps for them? There are still apps for Android 2.3 or even 2.2. But developing for them with low API numbers has limited functionality, compared to the functionality offered by higher API numbers. So, what is your...

I just subscribed for a course of Artificial Intelligence in games at nucl.ai . Already now I'm wondering what kind of AI is used in apps? Please, mention your app and a flavour of its AI algorithms. Thanks!

Which push message service can best be used nowadays? Since I stick to developing apps for Android 2.3 (e.g. Galaxy 2) is the preferred service also suited for this ancient OS version ?

I agree. First of all, the game must be a success. Few thousand installs is not enough. Should be millions like Super Mario. Thanks!

Questions about translations: 1. What are the most useful languages for textual descriptions of your app? 2. Do you use google's paid translation services? Kind regards.

I'm curious about the design of game levels. Would it be nice if a game player would be able to design levels of a game? And also have them distributed for other players? In this way the game authors get feedback, and it helps them for the new levels. What do you think about it?

Release frequency I'm wondering about a suitable frequency for releasing a new game version, concerning bugs, new features, new levels, etc. What do you expect from a developers point of view and a players point of view ?

I'm looking for a tough logic game with many levels? But not the easy to found games like: match-3, sokoban, tetris, etc. Thanx

There are dozens of match-3 games in the Play Store. If you like to try a new game concept, then I suggest RanaCidu.

And the new version of RanaCidu is available at goo.gl/YB22UT with features : Skip register procedure Change nickname afterwards Added sound Enable BACK button in dialogs Improved user interface Fixed no bugs, since none reported ;-) Have fun, TisTis
