4Friends free

4Friends free is a simple ball game, which you can play with up to four players on one Android device. (In this free version of the 4Friends game, the multiplayer mode is only available in the first level). Each player controls one ball, from one of the four corners of the screen. Controlling the movements of the ball is simple, you press - the ball turns left and slows down, you release, the ball goes straight and speeds up until a certain speed. Maximum speed depends on the level. The goal of the game is to pass the ball through a basket, or a soccer goal five or ten times, depending on the level. The looser of each game receives a penalty, for example ten push-ups, so you better be prepared before you play with your friends.

All balls bounce from the walls and each other. The levels 1-6 do not have any obstacles. Levels above 6 have both bouncing moons, and points subtracting mines. Bouncing moons move with a constant speed until they bounce, the mines slow down and will stop after a while. The game saves best finish times for each level. Level twelve is difficult, but not impossible.

The goal of this project was to show my kids (twelve and nine years old) how games are being created and how such game lands in google play store. Also I was myself curious how this works. The kids were helping me with concepts of the game and I was programming. I wanted to show them, that creating a game can be as much fun as playing.
