Force closes on me before even getting to a menu. I am on a Galaxy Note II.

Same here. On a Galaxy S2.

Machanarium and Waking Mars are really fantastic so far on a Nexus 7. I own S&S twice over before this, so haven't tried it yet.

Same problem here on a Galaxy Note, though much sooner than a minute.

Speaking of issues, is anyone having trouble running Sword & Sworcery on a Nexus 7? It seems like a part of the screen is being cut off which prevents me from advancing the menus.
Machinarium looks lovely on a Nexus 7 though.

I have the exact opposite issue. Sworcery looks good, but Machinarium is cut off on my SGS II. Can't advance beyond the first screen

The SGS II only has a resolution of 800 x 600 doesn't it? I think the app states a resolution of 1024x768 is required.
480x800 actually. Oh well, guess I can play it when I get my N4.
Hmm.. Waking Mars works well on a Galaxy Nexus. This is the list of supported devices, which you have. Did you guys root your phones or are you still running the Motorola/Samsung custom UIs?

Waking Mars has been fine for me on a Nexus 7 too, rather fun game!
SGS II, with CM10. Closes as soon as the title screen as faded.
Yeah, I had doubts about the controls at first, but the developers did a great job. I'm enjoying the game immensely.
Maybe it is CM?
What version of Android are you running?

Is there no franchise that can have the suffix -ville stuck on the end and turned into a F2P game?
Maybe. I don't have any issues with other games though.

I cannot get the Humble Bundle 4 to load on my Samsung GS3 =( The link just times out.
Have you tried downloading the humble bundle app?
It must be CM10. Try McPixel demo from the play store. If you get the same problem it's CM10. According to the McPixel dev the latest (nightly) build of CM10 fixes this, which your (and mine) rom isn't
For the record I get the problem with McPixel

It matters if the carrier disables this option. AT&T phones from as recent as last year had the non-Market app option completely missing. Not sure if this is still a problem.
Samsung's stock 2.3.6.

Hey guys, new to gaming on phones. Just picked up a Samsung SIII. First thing I did was download Dodonpachi, the shump game.
For about 30 min I couldn't believe I was playing it. Then I put it down come back to it and now every time I start the game the screen just goes black. I can hear, touch and still even play the game in the background I just can't see it!
Also, when I bring up menus that turns the screen back on and I can see the game fine for a brief second and then instantly gets black again.
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Any help greatly appreciated, I don't wanna have to go back to bestbuy please!

edit: try closing it first from the task manager. OR
Try to delete the cache for this game. From settings>apps, select dodopanchi.
As last resort try to delete the settings also (this will delete your save game also - probably)

Thanks for the info, I'm trying to reinstall it now and will try those things your mentioned as well.

Yep. I'm on WiFi so I have no idea why it takes forever to load

So I tried reinstalling, deleting all the registry info etc. for the dodonpachi game and it still gives me a black screen.
It's weird, when I turn the volume up/down the game plays fine then when the volume menu disappears the screen goes black again.
WTF! I was in shump heaven for less than 24 hours.

Ah, thanks. I wanted to see if it was just CM being the cause. The cause is apparently device specific issues the developers have to sort out in a later patch. So you all might have to wait a bit longer.

S3 user.
...how do I start #sworcery? I tapped around just about everywhere on the title screen. Even rotated the album.

Sounds like time to contact them. There should be support info in the Play Store, or you can try them on Twitter at @cave_world_en.
Also, pet peeve, it's "shmup", not "shump". Short for "shoot em up".

Yeah it's just a common typing error for me, but thanks!
I just bought a Nexus 7 for my wife, like the device thus far. Snappy and a solid screen although a bit small for my taste.
Is there an app on android similar to "AppShopper" on iOS? That will track the prices of games and notify me of sales?
I use AppSales. You can set it so that only games on sale are displayed.

I have been so addicted to Super Stickman Golf (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noodlecake.ssg&hl=en) lately. I play it every day for hours lol.
Damn gold stars!
I wish it was on Windows though.

I'm sure I'd love this game if I could get past the title screen. >.>
With the Nexus 7 version the start/play button appears towards the bottom right of the screen once it's rotated (horizontal).
I haven't read of issues with the S3 and it's on the list of supported devices. Keep trying and good luck!
I love my Note one screen I consider it to be better than Vita's. But maybe the Note 2 screen got darker. IDK. The Notes are as good as it can get with Android gaming, few Tegra exclusives notwithstanding. However, don't expect anything amazing, Android gaming should be a secondary consideration while choosing an smartphone or you will be disappointed imo.
Wow loved the game on my iPhone and didn't know there was a android version *downloading*
The screen is really bright and fantastic for gaming. I think if you choose the default auto brightness level then yes it may be a little dark. The colours are incredibly vibrant and you may want to change the profile to a more natural level. Loading up Netflix produces the most eye piercing red I've ever seen, I love it.
Coming from the iphone 4 I'd say the screen trumps it in every way. One thing I was not expecting was how much better it is than the Vita screen, and is really apparent when watching movies, they look stunning.
Battery life is brilliant also, it's like a mini ipad. I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and apart from a weaker app store I can't fault it.

My phone is on the supported list for waking mars but I get a force quit every time I walk towards the first plants at the beginning of the game. I'm hoping someone has reported it to the developer and a patch is being worked on because it looks like a fantastic game.
Edit: Oh looks like they are working on a fix and some potential solutions are listed along with it.

This helped. I didn't clear cache, but I cleared the data and moved it to my SD card. Works fine now.
