    Greetings,

    I have released my first Unity title for Android, called Space Chase. It's a free to play slot racer hybrid that lets you upgrade your space ship to help you dodge asteroids. The asteroids get harder and more unpredictable wave after wave.

    Android Play Store: http://ow.ly/cjVIz

    I would appreciate any feedback you might have.

    Cheers,
    Darkstep79

    Pretty cool! I like the gameplay. i might suggest uploading a small video to the android market page. you'd get more downloads i think. Also i think the rubies come down too fast. i suggest give user an easy chance to pick them up

    Thanks for the feedback! I've been looking at making a video and I'm torn between fraps'ing it on PC and setting a camera on my hands playing it on a phone. I think some people don't know how to best control the ship - especially afterburner, so a video showing hand placement would be really useful I think.

    I can make the rubies travel slower, but keep in mind that once you get the hang of the patterns you can get 100% of them (although at higher waves it's not possible without tractor beam upgrades).

    Thanks again!

    I think what you have to worry about is the draw calls and making sure you have that as low as possible. I know when i played it on my nexus s device I saw some choppiness only when the rubies came down. everything else was smooth. maybe you could reduce the poly count on the ruby. its crazy how much that makes a difference in the game play on phone vs. say a Xoom tablet with Tegra2. The tegra 3 tablets are super fast, but if your building for phone then keep the hardware in mind unless its for tablet only. :)

    A video demonstrating how to boost would really help people me thinks too. More exposure the better, I went into my closet and held the camera and touched the tablet on a game i just launched last week called around the rock disc golf. Its not the best, but shows how to flick and aim. something i find people have issues with at first. Maybe you could flash a icon for when boost becomes available? hth
