About PingPongPro (Free)
My First game; Had to be an Iconic game..
As such, I will fully support to keep app updated and working on ALL androids.
I test On Actual Hardware Not Emulators.
Tested Working on Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL, Galaxy SIII, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Tab 2, Galaxy Note 3
# bear with me as I update the Game, adding features, tweaking game-play, ext.. So that the game runs great on ALL android devices
-Try to Beat 3 levels of difficulty; After that try to beat your high score.
-Custom Colors in Menu*.
1) Shake for menu
2) Press "Paddle chooser"
3) Select Desired Paddle Color.
4) Then Select Desired Paddle brick color
5) Select desired Ball and screen Colors
6) Select Desired (unlocked) Difficulty
*Currently the game is Beta Release 1.0-1.9; but stable. A few cosmetic, and or Gameplay bugs may exist depending on your screen size and DPI (Dots per inch).
Here's the gameplay Bug Explained... Not a "bug" in the normal sense, but it's something I didn't intend when Building the game.
What..
A difference in gameplay (ball speed) depending on screen.
Why...
The Ball speed is set to Pixels per second; The ball has further to travel (more pixels per inch) on high DPI screens.
This makes the ball seem slower on Screens with higher DPI Such as Galaxy S4/5/6/7 Or Tablets.
Devices with Lower DPI such as Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL; The ball travels faster.
I'm working on setting the ball speed to a "% of screen per second", instead of "Dots per second". This requires overhauling the Entire Game-play. This Overhaul will be released as Version 2.0+ So that the game-play will be universal across different screens. (Noob Developer learning curve)
Try it on different sized devices, let me know how it plays/looks.
sorry for users with smaller screens and lower DPI, the game is more challenging for you.
If the game doesn't resize and fit to your device, please send me an Email with your screen size, DPI, and a screenshot (GS4 resize bug known, fixing soon)... I will update app to fit all devices and screens.
