I think I'm up to the stage in development where I need to start hearing other people tell me if the game is too hard/easy, works/doesnt work etc.

so if you have an android phone (any type, the more the better) and would like to test this game out and give me your feedback then please PM me and i'll email you the game

Yeah, the game will be on iPhone also, but trying to distribute beta versions to iphones is painful, and I already have enough apple devices to test them myself, androids are greatly varied in specs however.

I thought more people would want to test games here, please guys, I just want to hear if it's too hard/easy to get started, I just need some outside opinion on the difficulty curve of this game

Ok, I have tested it.
It's really fun to be able to gain speed and just glide at a bit fast speed. Too fast is too difficult, but I really enjoyed gliding. It feels really satisfying especially with the good animation of the dragons. (Is this animation pre-made, or do you calculate the wings movement from the wind dynamically?)
One of the big issues is that many times I just got flying above the screen, so I couldn't see myself. In addtion I could fly over the edges or walls of the levels, so I would crash on the high walls on the edges when coming doing from above the screen.
Sometimes I also couldn't understand why I got so much speed, and it's important to be able to tell what effect everything you do will have.
Another small issue is that you don't pause or don't have a quit option after press the back button on Android. But that's not terrible.

Overall it has great potential, if polished it can be a great game.

I downloaded the apk to my ZTC blade, but when I tried to install it told me there was an "error while analyzing the kit" (?)
Could be due to my older OS

Really encouraging to hear you had fun with it, that's the main thing I want from this game. I'll look into re-arranging the collisions to feel more natural (it's a lot of tedious work to do that, since they are different for all 4 world themes)

(Is this animation pre-made, or do you calculate the wings movement from the wind dynamically?)

The dragon animates by dynamically blending through a bunch of different pre-made loops based on how hard you are steering and stuff.

Ok so I've made a new installer specially for you, this one SHOULD run on android OS versions before 2.3, I'll need you to tell if if it really does or not though.
I'll email it out to you now
