This update fixes a few issues that caused the game to crash on some phones as well as remove the limit of 999 bonus stars.</div><div><br /></div><div>You can get the update from Android Market <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.infraredpixel.drop">here</a>.</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">The full list of improvements are:</span></div><div><div style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; "><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; ">The limit of bonus stars have been increased to 9999</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Tilt controls that didn't work on some phones have been fixed</span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; ">Fixed a bug where game would crash when starting up on some phones</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; ">Support for moving game to SD card added</span></li></ul></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">On top of the improvements, the overall game size have also been reduced to a mere 555 Kb! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; ">Yay!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman'; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: large; "><br /></span></div><div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NOZcmRK2994/Te0_z2YxhOI/AAAAAAAAALc/zRMSJjLMOrg/s320/tablet.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;width: 140px; height: 160px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615214470406178018" /></div><div>I've also tried my best to get Drop to run on the new Android tablets, but I have not way to verify if this works well or not. This version should at least run without crashing on tablets, but I cannot guarantee much more. If you try it and have any comments let me know.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for all your feedback and comments helping me improve Drop!</div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DropGame/~4/Yg-g2_FXgpM" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Drophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06360774890553195523noreply@blogger.com35http://drop-game.blogspot.com/2011/06/new-version-of-drop-its-still-alive.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119452078323579828.post-84259897348837034042010-03-15T02:06:00.000-07:002019-03-03T13:04:19.341-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Here's one elite dude getting almost 2000 points in Drop. YouTube poster <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/litelol">litelol </a>is claiming 2248 points as his best - which I am not doubting after watching the video.<br /><br /><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/4kKPIsnx8Ks&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/4kKPIsnx8Ks&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />I think we can all learn something from this guy, myself included. First of all, Drop needs an online high score system, so great achievements like this do not go unrecorded.<br /><br />Second, you all are skilled! I keep hearing about scores in the thousands. Very impressive indeed. I'll be sure to keep this in mind to make the game a bit more interesting for you pros out there. For instance, only red diamonds for such a long time gets pretty boring doesn't it?</div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DropGame/~4/2IG_JHBlN0w" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Drophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06360774890553195523noreply@blogger.com70http://drop-game.blogspot.com/2010/03/masters-of-drop.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119452078323579828.post-86311819617645456042010-02-25T03:45:00.001-08:002010-06-05T21:15:53.976-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_tLJtHtMKoR0/S4ZZ7Zhz5vI/AAAAAAAAAD4/ugcOD_A_dVY/20010.02.25_game_6.png"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 64px; height: 96px;" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_tLJtHtMKoR0/S4ZZ7Zhz5vI/AAAAAAAAAD4/ugcOD_A_dVY/20010.02.25_game_6.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_tLJtHtMKoR0/S4ZaC88SXdI/AAAAAAAAAEE/JZOLCUvYfP8/20010.02.25_game_2.png"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 64px; height: 96px;" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_tLJtHtMKoR0/S4ZaC88SXdI/AAAAAAAAAEE/JZOLCUvYfP8/20010.02.25_game_2.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_tLJtHtMKoR0/S4ZZ7DZgtSI/AAAAAAAAADw/t63_ZLGXO2A/20010.02.25_menu_1.png"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 64px; height: 96px;" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_tLJtHtMKoR0/S4ZZ7DZgtSI/AAAAAAAAADw/t63_ZLGXO2A/20010.02.25_menu_1.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Drop is now available on the Android Market. Just search for 'Drop' on the market and you should find it. Any feedback on improving the game is greatly appreciated.<br /><br /><div>The game currently features:<br /><br />Realistic Ball Physics<br />Precision Touch Controls (optional key controls)<br />Star Bonus System<br />Bounce Vibration<br /><br />The initial feedback seems to be that accelorometer controls would be nice to have. I have been experimenting with this but not yet managed to make it feel very natural.
