A simple level

This is a very simple game I did in my spare time to test out the Android SDK. The SDK turned out to be definitely NOT as I expected, which, come to think about it, is actually good.

The game itself is simple. Every time a color ball touches the edge of the screen, it bounces off, and breaks the background a little. There is a laser bouncing around that destroys any color ball it touches.

You control the 2 big gray balls, that act as spherical mirrors, to bounce off the laser in the direction you want. It's designed to be played with your thumbs on the android's surface. Color balls also bounce off the mirror balls. When you kill all balls, you go to the next level, with more balls, more speed etc...

The boxes are powerups, I went as far as to implement a "stop all balls for 5 secs" powerup, and a "add an additional laser that lasts for 4 secs" powerup. That's about it. The link to the svn repo is:

Nice work. Its nice to see some game developers support the Android platform. Did you write this game in Java or use the NDK?


All in Java :D
Not used to the language, but that only made it more interesting.
