Hi!

I am developing game for Android called MineColony. It’s a sandbox game similar to Minecraft and Terraria but with economy twist (this part is still in development though). In the beginning you collect resources to build your shelter against monsters which appear at night. You can mine ore, coal, smelt iron and craft tools. It features 8-bit, retro style graphics and soothing background music. While developing this game I was emphasizing on creating great atmosphere, so the player could immerse into game world. There are a lot of background sound effects like cricket chirping on dusk, owl hooting in the night or birds twitting in the morning.

Hi I play tested your game for a bit.

The graphics are nice and walking/jumping animations occur correctly.

I can't press both joysticks at the same time. I'm expecting to move with the left controller and have the right simply be an action button but the right stick seems to move me.

The pinch zoom wouldn't really change much to make a serious impact. It didn't really feel much different whether I zoomed all the way in or out.

The ads in an alpha version are mildly annoying.

Hi,

thank you for the feedback. Sorry to hear that you have issues with controls. It's really weird bug, but it looks like either your device doesn't support multitouch, which is unlikely or some kind of other glitch.

The pinch zoom-in and out should make it easier to see the big picture, maybe I should increase the amount of zoom. But then again it could cause performance issues. Does it look like on screenshots below?

zoom out:


zoom in:


About the ads... well, you know, it's business. But I really think that the ad is not interfering with the gameplay and I think it's already feature rich it could be called beta

Soon, I will post 1.5 update with water features and some performance fixes. So stay tooned
