    I participated in this small android project, released last Friday:
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mentalwarp.busted




    We went for something a lot smaller than our previous attempt, something we could easily iterate on and add more visual content and bricks of gameplay.

    There's still a lot left to do, garage, levels and tons of bugs to get rid of and so on...
    Still, it's free, give it a try :) rate it, share it pliz

    Nice graphic! Nice game play! It's lagged after playing it for about 3 minutes. By the way, this game can't be moved to SD card which is not a good thing. Over all, it is great...

    hi guys:) thx for your comments
    We worked for about 3months with a team of 3. We had a bunch of old assets from a previous project, but a lot of re-factor was needed anyway.

    @henry96 it seems you're right ! i have no idea why, maybe it's related to an option in the android manifest. any idea why? because the game is pretty lightweight for a 3d game (16Mo).
    About the lag, can you tell us more? the model of your phone is a good start :)

    Sorry we don't atm, it's very time consuming, and time is not really the most available resource ^^
    Besides, tutorial on what exactly? Most of this project is very classic stuff, except maybe for the bending of the tube itself :)

    Runs great on my old HTC Incredible 1. Looks incredible too :) Smooth to graphic quality ratio; it may be the best thing i've seen on my phone - no joke.

    Runs like ass on my Toshiba THRiVE (Tegra2).
    This was surprising. Looks like the lighting is broken most of the time on the tube segments itself. The blue-booster arrows always show and the glowy stuff is fine (point pickup, STOP, and "incapacitators"); but the tube itself loses lighting and goes pure black quite often. Lag occurs when the po-po lights start up too.

    About moving to SD card, I remember there is an option in Player Setting which allows the game to stay on the external or internal. Maybe It's a solution or maybe not. I use HTC desire, and it is lag randomly, usually after running for a while.

    Thanks guys for the feedback :)

    @Mitch: thx :) The graphics were only tested on 'tile-rendering' gpu's (SGX Adreno). I guess the fillrate is killing the Tegra :-/
    I need to find a device to test it, but they're not so common

    We had several problems with shaders compiling wrong on certain platforms, especially when using parameters driven in scripts. That's the way the light is handled so maybe there's a bug there (in unity or in our code..dunno). Most of the lag is cpu-side (crappy external SDKs or crappy code, we need to profile more :) )

    @Henry. I can see those options indeed :) I'm not on the build machine but I'll do a few tests soon, I hope it is this simple :)


    Best,
    Brice

    We submitted a new version with minor bugfixes, and enabled the SD card install.

    This option is actually in the android manifest itself:

    android:installLocation="auto"
