Title: Cave Crew, a game for Android - feedback welcome
Post by: SoulAim on April 12, 2013, 09:51:15 AM
Cave Crew
Cave Crew is a physics based action game, two years in the making by a few guys who believe in gaming. In the game you race against the clock, controlling increasingly speedy heroes. The goal is to reach the nice and welcoming star portal at the end of the level. Try to avoid hard collisions against walls or spike balls on the way! Complete levels with a good time to earn stars to unlock faster heroes and new episodes!

The game can be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ninro2.main (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ninro2.main)

Controls
The controls are kind of simple, you point and press, and your hero throws an elastic ninja rope into that position. Release your touch and the rope is discarded as well. The rope can be thrown anywhere, even inside walls. Basically the rope pulls your hero in the direction where it is attached. Sounds simple? This allows some pretty cool looking and feeling flows, when you get it just right!

Leaderboards
The game relies on leaderboards, where you can compete for the top spots, or compare your results against your facebook friends. We've tried to keep the leaderboard service as simple for the user as possible. Currently the user must pick a nickname, but that's all. No need for passwords or logins etc. From the leaderboards you can also view the replay of any player. Watch how the best played it and be inspired!

Final thoughts
I guess that's all for now, folks. It is a relatively difficult game. We were certainly aiming for the "easy to play, hard to master" target, how well that succeeded so far, you tell us. Any suggestions and feedback much appreciated!
