    Ok... This may sound quite silly.
    I noticed the large number of mobile developers we have here and I have seen that mobile gamers respond mostly to free apps and games. The issue is in the promotion of android games in the android market , this is what I was thinking.

    Some of us can come together to form a group (May be we'll have a group on facebook or something) where we'll help each other by downloading, rating and commenting on each other's games and apps on the play store. Also we can help each other with likes on facebook and follows on twitter and by talking about each other's games on social network.

    It may seem like a lame idea but I think we should take advantage of our number and use it for free promotion (I think the newbies will benefit more from this).

    I find your idea great! We should promote our application/games right here on this thread. I will post a link to my game posted on google play. I recently entered the harsh world of marketing. I find it hard to promote my game without paying large amounts of cash to all sorts of sites, so anyone who needs some 5 star reviews, post a link to google play here, and i will be happy to rate your game 5 stars. I'll also post the link to my game. Thank you very much. I hope this will be a helpfull thread for all of us. Best of luck! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sas.g

    Hey guys, I checked out all of your apps they're great

    I was wondering if you wouldn't mind checking mine out, I released it the other day and it's not getting much traction. My game goes by the name of "Submarine Base Defender" and is an Arcade shooter game in which the player has to survive against waves of aliens and defend the base, and when the base is destroyed the game is over. The game is far from it's end of development though as there are many new game modes and additions in the pipeline for future patches and/or expansions.

    Here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.EmberGames.Sub_Base_Defender

    Cheers
    Ember

    Hey.
    Our studio is new in town), but here's our third game.

    Nizam



    Nizam is a puzzle game, where the magic happens. In a world of mighty wizards and sorcerers a young hero must claim her right for a title of the greatest magician. Using a combinations of 3 or more jewels in a row, she will strike her opponents with a different spells. From turn to turn our sorceress will match gems to deal more damage.




    There are three additional spells, which will help to defeat evil wizards. Fireball strikes after you light three jewels of particular color. As same as Healing will recover sorceress' health, and Time Reducer will take a part of your opponent's time away.

    Download Nizam at Google Play!

    We've already added a campaign.
    Soon there will be RPG-elements for more addiction.

    Thanks for the review, I'll try your game and post a review tonight

    Edit :

    I tested your game. I really like the graphics, The UI is clean and simple.
    I found a bug I think :

    When In-Game :

    1. Pause the game
    2. Return to main menu using the android back button
    3. re enter in play mode(whatever difficulty you choose)
    4. <------ The Game is frozen. To Unlock it, push twice on the Pause button


    Hope it helps

    Hey everyone!
    I like your games, they are all fun to play and are all good made. I have even played "Don't let them die" before I saw it here and it is amazing. I rated all your games.
    Well anyway I also made a game. It's my first one and it is called "Fast Ball". You have a paddle and a ball and you have to keep it as long as you can in 3 walls, and the ball gets faster every second. I would like if you could try and play it and rate it as you want.
    Here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.CroWolfGanes.FastBall

    Thanks! How did you find it ? I can't even find him myself in the play store without searching its exact name.

    I rated your game. It's simple and i like it. It's going to fit perfectly when you want to do a really quick game.
    The Android return button doesn't work.

    Haha yea I know it doesn't. I still don't know how to make that work so I put back buttons in game :D

    I like your game. It is fun to play ^^

    This a great idea. @mahenkumar I noticed your ad says you have free game testing. Can you tell me a bit more about that? It's something I'm going to be very interested in in the coming weeks.

    I have played Hexscape and I left you a 5 star rating. Honestly, the game is simple but captivating. It's amazing to see what developers can do with such simple mechanics.

    Dude. .... Are you kidding ? You nailed the formula of addiction. I have dropped a 5 star rating for 'GridBrix'. It was an honest rating. Somethings may still need to be worked on. I can give you a couple of ideas on how to go about certain things but it will be better in a private conversation. I don't want to fill this thread with such.

    And I forgot to mention.. the gameplay is smooth. I have found my new time-killer :). I'll show your game to people around and make sure they play it.

    I wish you all the best.

    I left you a 5 star rating for Squaroid. You almost gave me the flappy bird effect but then, I got used to what the game was about. Great concept. I hope to see more games from you in the future.

    Thank you all for your activeness on this thread. I will check out your games, rate them and try to spread the word loacally. It is always a pleasure to talk about what my fellow developers are doing.
    It will also be great for some of us to come together and collaborate on a game sometime (just a thought of mine).

    I think I will start a blog so I can post all these games there for other people to get to discover them. What do you all think. It will be an honor sharing the works of other developers.
