Colorful Dino is now available on Android and distributed for FREE via Google Play!
Doing this port wasn't easy guys... I faced various difficulties such as:
- Making the game work and look Pixel Perfect on any device resolution: the required minimum is 640x360 but the game could still be playable in lower resolutions too.
- Rethinking the Input System to work in conjuction with the UI Controller Buttons used to control the Player on the device.
- Designing a lot of icons for the APK, and make screenshots in different resolutions to meet all store requirements.
- Integrate Google Play Game Services APIs...
- And a lot more...
But... YES guys... I did it!
Now, let's talk a bit about what the differences are with the Desktop version of the game.
MOBILE VERSION
- It is Free-To-Play, Ad-Supported and only supports 1 Player mode.
- You have an Unlimited Number of Continues so you can play and have fun for as long as you want! You just have to watch an Ad in case you lose the game and decide to continue.
- It has support for Google Play Game Services for saving Scores online so if you just cannot pass a level, let the countdown go to 0 when you are on the Continue Screen, this will take you to the Game Over Screen to save your score.
- Includes Colorful UI Controller Buttons that will change color based on your Dino's color!
DESKTOP VERSION
- It is Paid, Ad-Free and supports 1 Player and 2 Players modes.
- You have a maximum of 3 Continues.
- Includes support for Itch API for User Authentication and DRM (Digital Rights Management) system.
- Includes support for Game Jolt Game API for saving Scores online.
There may be other differences but these are the main ones.
I really want to give everyone the opportunity to play the game!
I think that the Free-To-Play and Ad-Supported formula is a better compromise for everyone, especially in these tough times with COVID.
I did my best to put a Colorful Dino in your pocket...
If you have any issues with this specific version just let me know on Discord!
And that's it for now!
Enjoy!
