Hi,

I made a sticky puzzle game for android smartphones and for desktop computers. It's called ApoBubble.
Thanks for that great library!

Features:
- 15 original level
- sheeptastic graphics
- nice music and sound
- ingame editor to make new levels and to publish them
- ingame tutorial


Backgroundstory:
The sheep 'Wolly' loves to eat flowers. So please help Wolly to reach the flowers. In the 'Wolly' galaxy the dogs love to chew gum. Touch the dogs and they will blow the gum and a new way will be created.
Sounds crazy? It is but funny too. =)

I hope you like it. =)

I made a slick applet. Now you can play with your pc.

It's my first slick applet try so I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

I think it's VERY nice! I like it! :D the only problem is, I have a 3.2 inches display on my android phone, and it is difficult to play on it, it is really small :( on a tablet would be great, in fact I just tried the applet and feels better :wink: some scrolling could be the solution.

Maybe you could add more levels in the future, keeping it updated on the g play store :D nice work btw, bravo!

Played it for a bit, I think it would be nice if it was easy to tell where the bubbles popped. I didn't remember the game telling me that the bubbles could be popped by spikes (although this does happen on level 2), so I was a little confused at first since there was no animation. (I knew that blue bubbles could automatically pop after three clicks, but I didn't know all bubbles could pop if they touched a spike, which lead me to incorrectly believe that pink bubbles could only be clicked 5 times for a bit). Animations for bubbles expanding would be pretty cool too, although that would be a bit harder to do.

Thanks for the feedback!

@dpek: I added some text in the tutorial. In the next version I will implement some bubble pop animation

@Alessandro: In the next version I'll try to improve the bounding boxes of the bubbles. But you are right on small devices it is really hard. I will try to think about it what I can do to solve that problem.

I updated the applet version.

What is new?
- now there are 30 original levels
- better editor level feedback - you can vote the user level (with 1 - 5 stars and some extra statistics like "Was that level easy or hard?" etc)

Next steps?
- better registering of the bounding box for the bubbledogs
- removing the rendering glitches on smartphones (the problem are the different screen sizes)
- Wolly will say "Mhh tasty"
- new android version

Hi. I played your game. It's a lot of fun! But, I encountered a error. I was on level 13 (13 most definitely an unlucky number lol). I managed to push the sheep to the top of the level on a pink bubble, and it caused an arrayoutofbounds exception.
Code:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1
   at org.apogames.bubble.entity.ApoBubbleDog.sheepCheck(ApoBubbleDog.java:190)
   at org.apogames.bubble.entity.ApoBubbleDog.clickOnDog(ApoBubbleDog.java:117)
   at org.apogames.bubble.game.ApoBubbleGame.mouseReleased(ApoBubbleGame.java:346)
   at org.apogames.bubble.game.ApoBubblePanel.mouseReleased(ApoBubblePanel.java:479)
   at org.newdawn.slick.Input.poll(Input.java:1230)
   at org.newdawn.slick.GameContainer.updateAndRender(GameContainer.java:635)
   at org.newdawn.slick.AppletGameContainer$Container.runloop(AppletGameContainer.java:514)
   at org.newdawn.slick.AppletGameContainer$ContainerPanel.start(AppletGameContainer.java:218)
   at org.newdawn.slick.AppletGameContainer$1.run(AppletGameContainer.java:92)


Seriously a lot of fun though! Well done :D

A new version is online:

Next steps:

Hey, you'll probably hate me, but I found another bug :P
I thought i'd try out the editor, so I made a map that used the whole game area. I walked the sheep all the way to the left, and:
Code:
org.newdawn.slick.SlickException: Game.update() failure - check the game code.
   at org.newdawn.slick.GameContainer.updateAndRender(GameContainer.java:663)
   at org.newdawn.slick.AppletGameContainer$Container.runloop(AppletGameContainer.java:514)
   at org.newdawn.slick.AppletGameContainer$ContainerPanel.start(AppletGameContainer.java:218)
   at org.newdawn.slick.AppletGameContainer$1.run(AppletGameContainer.java:92)


Seems it's because the sheep tried to go outside of the game area.

I hope this is of some use as it's quite an ambiguous error.

EDIT: Also thought I would mention that it would be nice to have the sound and music icons available on the menu and editor screens. ^_^

EDIT2: Just found that, using the scrollwheel to select tiles on the editor, the Blue Dog wouldn't place, but placed the ground(?) tile instead. It seems it still places the bubble, just not the graphic (it places the collision box, but it doesn't respond to clicks).
