DragonFlys (Unreleased)

It's crudely drawn. It's super easy. A 5-year old can play it. There are no instructions. The sound effects are silly.

There. I've covered the obvious defects. Now please find more! This is my first Android app. In fact, my first Java program. I need your feedback. How can I make it more challenging to you? Or give it to your youngest child to try. I'm still not sure of my target audience.

DragonFlys (intentionally spelled that way) is a simple form of entertainment for non-serious gamers of any age. The object is to fly your dragonfly around the pond eating insects to satisfy your craving for protein and rid the pond of pests.

Your enemies in this game are the frogs. They can appear at any time and, once one surfaces, it can see where you are. Frogs have long sticky tongues and will eat you as well as the pests that you eat. So it's important to eat your fill before the frog does.

DragonFlys require a touch screen or a mouse. It can be played on the majority of Android devices, including smartphones and tablets. There are no controls other than to touch the screen where you want your dragonfly to go. Conceptually, it's that simple, making DragonFlys a game for anybody (and any thing) with at least one working finger.

Wherever possible, you will be prompted by images, and not words. This is to make DragonFlys a game that could be played in any language, or in no language at all.

All of the images and sounds created for DragonFlys were created (i.e. drawn freehand) by and are owned by the author. The app icon, which is an actual closeup photo of a dragonfly's compound eyes, was shot by the author's wife, and is owned by her.

Enjoy!
