So... I finally popped my own mobile game cherry.

'Tis true! I know many of you have already had stuff up there for years, so you'll be like "meh", but for me it's like "omgyes". I actually finished a game for a change. That's f#^&ing epic. Maybe now I can finally focus on dynamic font and the upcoming GUI properly, eh?

I hope that the game will work and be downloaded a lot of times on the markets.

The game is really fun and well polished.

It's fun and challenging. I hope it will catch peoples' eyes.

If nothing else, it feels damned good to get something out there! Congrats!

I'm curious what performance you guys get on your devices. Both of mine were capped at 60 FPS (Asus Infinity tablet and Samsung S3).

Tap on the bottom right corner to turn on FPS.

On Samsung nexus 7 it was very fluid too. Didn't look at fps.

Looks pretty cool. Just playing it briefly reminds me of Galcon Fusion. Crazy that you have time to do this on top of your other responsibilities.

On an Acer A500 the game runs at 45 fps~

It was one of the first successful Android tablet.
