DEVLOG - 012

The title says it all guys...

Colorful Dino is now available on Android and distributed for FREE via Google Play!

  https://play.google.com/store/…

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 Games 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 to watch an Ad in case you lose the game and decide to continue.

• Includes support for Google Play Games Services for saving Scores online.

• 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.

• 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!
