| http://www.challenger-arts.com/android-games/challenger-balls Hey, I have made a simple puzzle game that I hope to release on Android and Flash, All I have left to do id make more levels (I have created a level builder program for this already). There are also bridges, fans and spikes (seen in the menu but not done a level with them yet) Any thoughts / improvements / suggestions? |

| I'm not sure about having the time to solve being so important to score. At the least I think you should only start the timer when the player clicks something. In general though I'm not sure there's a good match between people who like to solve casual puzzles and people who enjoy clicking around an interface against the clock. It looks good though. A few polish issues with rendering order and the block breaking graphic not matching the block, but easily enough ironed out. |

| you might consider counting the number of moves the player makes and do something with that value against time, rather than just time. So a player who solves the level in the fewest possible moves , should score better than some one who makes a few mistakes. |
| ||
| I would also say it would be better to take out the timer and do as Taiphoz suggested. On the start screen I would use "Select Level" instead of "Level Select". Maybe the font of the description in the beginning of a Level is a bit too small. But I really liked the game, would make a perfect candidate for InApp purchases (for more levels). |
| ||
| Yeah I think I will change it to moves only and get rid of the time element :) In app purchase, nice idea, no idea on how to implement that lol, but will look into that. |
| ||
| Ok, so made a few changes, got rid of the time element and added a few more levels and adjusted the music. What do you reckon, about 30 levels for release? |
| ||
| That's about what I'd aim for. For games with short levels it seems a good starting point. Enough to give the player an hour or so of content and it leaves room to add more in updates without the numbers getting silly. |

| Woooo, its on the android store, just search 'challenger ball'! First game to be made and published by me :) challenger ball - play store |
