Definitely not the full game but i feel its close to being testable if still a bit buggy, if anyone wishes to have a play they’re welcome, you can play it on the web at

And its available on the android marketplace searching for ‘flarble badness’ (Or err, google it, it now seems to be all over a google serach which i cant say i intended) - GL1.1 if for phones with adreno 200 or similar chips, its a lot better performing than the GL2 version which has much better graphics, which id recommend for galaxy s2/sensation and suchlike

Use ‘Level Select’ and the advance button to open up levels

There are quite a few settings you can change from the main menu that might improve performance, most particularly turning the backgrounds off

Some notes:

You can change settings from the main menu from the menus or in game by pressing and dragging awayb from the green button bottom right (A pie wheel selector thing should come out which you drag your thumb over, descriptions appear)

Edit: In the above theres a weird bug im too tired to fix atm, to get the top level settings pie item to register, slide it over one of the others first then back to the top and it should work fine


Known issues:

On the settings, the left buttons do the settings changing, the right labels show the seting, but incirrectly flash when you tap them when tapping them does functionally nothing

The launcher on level 4 is weird, and the camera can go a bit funny when shaking, looking into that

Sound needs doing properly

… and probably quite a few more

Anyways cheers folks if you decide to give it a try! Be as critical as feasibly possible please

How do i go onto the next levels? This is not intuitive at all :confused:

I’ll update the op, but:

Go to level select, click ‘advance’, the levels will appear in sequence, then you can click to play them

The levels are meant to appear as you complete them in the main game, which isnt in yet, so this is a cheaty way round

i go to advance and even though i beat that one level it just lets me play the same level :frowning:

5

keep clicking it, its not a full game so there are no restrictions, you can click the advance button 5 times and all the levels will appear, so you can play all of them if you want!

I’ll update the mobile marketplace versions and the webplayer with the start game button removed so it directs you a little more clearly to the level select

Ok well, i dont like to be one of those people who bumps a lot but since ive spent hours a day for months on it i figure i wanna try get it looking the best it can, hopefully with you folks help, it really would be appreciated. It’s depressing to think the hard work just gets lost to the void.

I’ve fixed some of the broken buttons, removed buttons that dont do much currently (need to remove more i suppose), labelled a few things to make them clearer, and so on, i update both mobile versions as i do this

In the next few days i will do a tutorial section that should explain everything, label a few things more clearly and fix some of the bugs that are really annoying me (The badly implemented screen shake, the double death when being squished by the flooby things amongst others)

I know it’s hard to care about someone you dont knows work when you all have your own passions to invest in at the moment but just a moment of your time would mean a lot to me

just relax and give it some time, youre only letting 1 hour go by before bumping…

In the unlikely case any of you had a look at it on the android marketplace, i ‘think’ ive figured out the update thing, so let me know if that goes ok.
