    Here is the description on Google Play:

    MushRoom Bounce! is a unique, addictive, 2D physics game where you spin, bop, and ricochet Mushrooms into various holes to clear each level. Kino Koichi is the Mushroom Bouncer, a bodybuilding mushroom whose job it is to "bounce" unruly mushrooms that are invading human territory! To keep the peace between mushroom and human kind, Koichi is on a mission to get the mushroom outbreak under control. Under ground, above ground, and back in time -- the mushroom madness is spreading in this addictive, crazy, retro, mushroom-bopping adventure!

    Mushrooms abound out of bounds in this wacky mushroom-bopping adventure, set in a myriad of different locations... including some that might leave you scratching your cap. A cafe, the city streets, a desert island, a haunted house -- You never know where the little shrooms might pop up next!

    Cute as they may be, this fungal frenzy is getting out of hand. Time to put these cute little guys back in their place. Like the bouncer at any exclusive club, it's time to bum-rush these mushrooms down whatever convenient hole you can find!

    Join Koichi in level after level of mushroom bouncing fun -- put on your sunglasses and get bouncing today!

    MushRoom Bounce! Features:
    * Realistic, 2D Physics Action
    * Adapts to fully use each screen size; (480 x 800 or higher recommended)
    * Like in Basketball or Billiards, a Mushroom's "spin" affects how it bounces
    * Available for Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux
    * Wireless bluetooth HID Gamepad Support
    * You can also play using touch controls: fling/swipe action and/or on-screen joystick & buttons
    * Supports keyboard input, including joysticks that behave like a mini keyboard
    * Optimized for MOGA Controllers
    * Leaderboards and Personal High Scores saved to server
    * 33 Unique Areas
    * High Quality 28-song Soundtrack
    * FREE Version Includes 41 Levels!
    * Tons of Variety -- Each level has its own funny details and surprises

    P.S. Kinoko = "mushroom" in Japanese. And ichi means "one" so I guess you could say the Bouncer's name is "Mushroom One".

  • Did you design this game, Matthew?
    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

  • After working on this game part-time for months, it's finally done!

    Now the hard part is getting the word out. There are so many games out there.

    My sister and I made this game. Some of you might remember "Dulcamara" (she's no longer an active member). She did graphics and I did the programming.

    We only make money from in-game advertising and if anyone buys the Premium Edition which includes more levels, etc.

    I realize we're not going to make a mint from 1 game, and this is just a side business for me. But for my sister's sake I was hoping to make some "money that folds" (rather than just a dollar or two) because she can barely sleep these days since her mattress is over 15 years old and very sunk in. I know that's the main thing she's "saving up for". She lives at home with our mom (who is a widow living on charity and government aid). I think she did a great job with the original game ideas she came up with, level design, and the many pixel art graphics she created by hand.

    If you know anyone that DOES play video games, you might pass along the links. LIKE it on Facebook, rate the game on Google Play, etc.

    Thanks everyone --

    Matthew

  • I should also add --

    I'm taking care of the "game submission" work, which I've been working on since late November! This involves creating countless specific sizes of various screenshots, hi-res graphics, icons, etc.  Every game site wants something a little different!

    Anyhow, I've just about covered about all the bases I can think of, both for Windows/Mac/Linux game sites as well as Android App stores. I still need to contact every game review site known to man, because that is where I'm at right now: getting the word out, so people know the game exists. They can't search for a game that they don't know about.

  • Neat looking game, Matthew.

    The "realistic physics" billing made me chuckle. People, if you never knew what would happen if you ram a mushroom with your chest or explode a giant bomb next to a group of mushrooms, go check out MushRoom Bounce!

    Hahaha good point.

    Actually I call those "confetti bombs" so I don't have to rate the game PG-13 for violence or something. Plus I don't see a fiery explosion...  :wink:

    What I meant was that the items have different mass, so they are easier or harder to push. And many items you can put a "spin" on, so when they hit something they bounce off differently based on the spin direction and rate.

    It uses a popular library called Box2D which handles the game-world physics.

  • I just tried chest-ramming a mushroom in my kitchen. Threw it in the air and gave it a good chesting on the way down.

    An RPG is certainly more my "cup of tea" than this kind of game -- the idea was to make a game that would be more easy to complete. This was our first Android game, after all. The RPG will be much more enjoyable to make and to play :)

    Exile III ruined world is a particularly good 2D game.
    You get to interact with characters and you find out important game triggers by actually typing in your question to them. Makes the game seem alive.

  • While I've only played the demo, to that extent Crayon Physics always struck me as an enjoyable innocent game.

    I was going to download this, but it twill not work on my Ipad.  I tried to help.  If you get an Ipad version, I will certainly purchase it.
