Hey guys.

I just made my first android game. It contains graphics native at 1024x768 and scaled down for all tablet sizes. No grainy graphics here, all high res

(It also has seperate graphics for ~800x480 and ~480x320 if you want to try it on your phone)
Its called walkabout - the idea is to collect all the stars on each level, but as you walk the path beneath you disappears. You need to think about your route or you'll be stranded!

Feedback and comments on the market greatly appreciated!!

The market link for the free version with less levels is:

Or you can search 'walkabout' in the market.

Full version is here:

Nice to see this. Will you mention it's compatibility and some tips?

 

[kam187]

Compatible with all devices from 1.6 upwards

It has 1024x768 resolution graphics, 800x480 and 480x320. It will scale DOWN rather than up so you get the best graphics possible. No upscaling ever! So for example a 1024x600 device would use the 1024x768 graphics.

I've optimised it a lot so even the old 528Mhz phones can play it. Let me know what you try it on and how it runs for you

If you need tips on a level just ask! Some are quite hard

PS the screenshots are from a 800x480 Nexus 1.
