Show HN: I built an Android game

Not sure what you're talking about. Is it that the primary colors make you think of Google and therefore Android?

Looks visually like letterpress. Very different gameplay I imagine.

This game concept was actually one of the games that inspired Kiip. Two of our Co-founders, Amadeus and Courtney, had created it for iOS under the name of Skeemo before Kiip and wanted to reward users who got high scores. We since re-branded it as 7x7 and it became our testing platform for our SDK as well as to showcase our reward system on iOS.

I've been wanting to create 7x7 for Android for a while to be a reliable testing platform for our SDK as well as to showcase our reward system on Android. I finally had some free cycles recently and made it.

If anyone is wondering why it looks completely different than the iOS version, it's because they let me (an Android engineer) do the design all on my own too :P

Thanks! I actually made everything with regular Android View elements and used Animator for all the animations.

I had the same thoughts.

What cellphone do you have?, i just played in my Motorola Defy, modded with CM10. Great game btw.

It was originally supposed to support 2.3+, but due to timeline constraints I had to release it as 4.0+. I'll be looking into 2.3+ for a future release though!

Back in 5th grade art class, our class put some dyes in a water basin, then "printed" the swirl patterns onto a paper by placing said paper on top of the water surface.

I remember being quite fascinated by the patterns on the paper, and also the swirls that were made when adding food coloring to water. I definitely would have loved this kind of game back then (and even now of course), so maybe there's some merit to re-skinning the game for a younger audience :)

It seems like an indicator of the current progress of the stage.

I'm planning on adding a color blind mode in the future that does something like this, hold tight!

Thanks! This was done over the span of 2 months of on and off development.

Thanks! High scores will be in a future release, I promise!

Sorry, it's 4.0+ at the moment. I'm hoping to open it up to 2.3+ in the future!

I'm sure there is a reason for this. But it indeed is something OP may want to consider. Gingerbread is almost 50% market share.
