1.Jeopardy

Jeopardy is a Classic choice Easy gameplay, customizable avatar, easy to follow instructions. And you can turn off the annoying music if it gets to be too much. Some of the categories come up repeatedly no matter which level you are playing at. I realize there can’t be infinite questions but they seem to come up fairly often.

2. Quizup
Great game! I like the design and questions. It would be great to use the tablet in landscape or 180°, when charging… And it is possible to remove ads permanently. It’s cheaper too to get ads-free app.

3. Trivia Crack

Hundreds of thousands of exciting questions. You can create your own questions in the Factory with over 20 game languages. Chat with your opponents option and Collectable card collection and plenty more.

4. Category Quiz (Trivia)

Fun game but also tests your brain to realize just how much you do know. It is especially good for the “mature” mind. You realize you are really not old and the brain still has a lot of memory. It makes you feel good! Super fun so far is no repeat questions. Tons of categories.

5. Quizoid

One of the best out there, great variety of questions, auto-update and offline mode available. Light on the phone’s resources, simple and efficient layout, category-wise scoring, tough yet addictive.

6. Quiz – Logo game

Great fun! Addictive. I love this game. Plays great. Ads are mostly along the bottom of my tablet. Once in a while you’ll get one that is full screen. No big deal, just X out. Better than the other logo game app I have. I like being able to see the letters you may need. It helps. Great choice of hints with 5 or 6 options. It gives you a good amount of points to use for hints. Tip : start a new day and get bonus points. Getting hints and guessing incorrectly will suck up your “coins”.

7. Guess The Song

I love music and I love this game! Many categories to pick from and the actual music to listen to! Great fun!

8. Food Quiz

Its so much fun. Its something that you can do if you’re bored. It doesn’t need any wifi and it doesn’t waste that much battery. I absolutely love it!

9. True or False: Quiz Battle

Get ready for the definitive quiz game! Take on exciting knowledge duels and get your fix of trivia fun! Play 1000’s of astounding questions in 15 categories! The best of both worlds – True or False meets Multiple Choice! 4 rounds of great Multiple Choice questions are followed by a bonus round of crazy True or False facts where it’s all to play for!

10. Trivia Quiz

Trivia Quiz is the ultimate trivia game to test your knowledge on pop culture. See how many pictures you can guess and challenge your friends by seeing who can solve the most pics. Trivia Quiz is one of the biggest and best trivia games around. Moreover, it offers a great user experience; it’s fun for all ages and it’s family friendly.

11. Trivia Crack Kingdoms

I play this game everyday! This and regular trivia crack are my favorites. What I like about this one is when you win you get up to seven coins depending on how well you did and the score. On regular you get only three. The only thing is, some of the newer channels where there are only a few questions, they’re a bunch of questions that have been submitted and rated for months, and still there are no new questions in play that makes no sense.

12 Best Android Games Of 2016 (Till Now) https://unanimoustech.com/2016/06/03/12-best-android-games-2016-till-now/ Fri, 03 Jun 2016 18:47:23 +0000 http://www.unanimousstudios.com/?p=774 12 Best Android Games Of 2016 (Till Now)

There are actually good android games out there, but you must be tired of drudging through endless shovel ware games just to find a good one.People look for android RTS, flight sims, platformers, and probably a few other categories and sure, some of the games found aren’t bad, but they’re nothing to rave about, but still, i know there are games you could really enjoy.

If you have no rigid preferences for what you’re looking for, here are some top 12 android games you’d love to play :-

Here are 12 selective and amazing games piled up for you :

1.Minecraft PE

Yeah, it’s Minecraft. Needs no introduction.

2. Exiles:

Far Colony – now known as Exiles: Zero or something. Open world RPG by Crescent Moon Games, pretty decent. Graphics/campaign leave a little to be desired, but it’s not bad.

3. CounterSpy

2D/3D platforming third-person shooter. It’s good, very good.

4. Star Wars: KoToR

It’s a Star Wars RPG and free on Amazon Underground. Get it.

5. Star Command

I’d say it’s similar to how FTL plays (ship management wise). Interesting little game, I think it’s worth a play-through.

6. SimpleRockets/SimplePlanes

Physics simulators. Rockets is like 2D Kerbal Space Program, Planes is a 3D flight “sim”.

7. Aralon: Forge and Flame

Newest one, Very positive reviews and probably as close to Skyrim on your phone as we’re getting.

8. Soul Unleashed RPG

It’s an RPG and rather unique in how it plays. I haven’t seen anything else like it so I can’t compare it to something else. Free Lite version if you want to test it out.

9. The Dark Knight Rises

Open world Batman game. Closest you’ll get to Arkham City on your phone as of now.

10. Shadowrun: Dragonfall

A very deep RPG. I highly recommend it (first level on easy mode whipped my ass, haven’t come back since). Note: There is another Shadowrun game, but this Dragonfall is a must play.

11. Battlestation: Harbinger

Rogue-like game, sort of similar to FTL’s galaxy system. Key word; sort of. It’s pretty fun.

12. Ravensword: Shadowlands

Another 3D open world RPG. No voice acting at all, kind of dated graphics. It’s decent, not amazing but it’s good when there’s nothing else.

Game and app development company, Unanimous Studios also develop such games for their clients>  :-

Honorary mention : Anomaly Warzone Series – Counter-tower offense and one tower defense in the series. Excellent graphics, pretty good story, and decent permissions. Hard mode can and will kick your ass.

Top 12 Puzzle Game In Android https://unanimoustech.com/2016/05/28/top-12-puzzle-game-android/ Sat, 28 May 2016 03:53:27 +0000 http://www.unanimousstudios.com/?p=782 Top 12 Puzzle Game In Android

I’ve had a ton of Puzzle games on my phone for ages:

Huebrix, Trains, Puzzle Retreat, Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, Cut the Ropes, Where’s My Water, Hungry Cat Picross, Hitman GO, even Pudding Monsters!

So here’s We piled up a list of 12 best puzzle games for android users :

1.Shoot the apple

Fire an alien thing out of a cannon, bouncing it off various obstacles, to hit the apple. Like cut the rope getting the lolly to reach the frog thing.

2. Triple town

Similar model to 2048. Put down various tiles strategically, when three are together they upgrade.

3. Unblock Me

Sliding puzzle, move the pieces to get the goal piece out. There’s also the ridiculous number of escape the room or 100 doors games if you’re into those. These next few are more point and click adventure puzzle games than Cut The Rope style, but they are the ones I’ve absolutely loved and will recommend wholeheartedly to everybody. Some of them may be too long to finish a section in a bathroom break, but I’m pretty sure they all save your progress so you can continue from wherever you left off, and frankly, most of them had me so intrigued that I played for hours straight at home so they’re still worth a look, even if they don’t meet your goal.

4. The Room 1 & 2

One central object (or in 2, a series of these objects in a room) that you can explore 360 degrees of, containing multiple puzzles to unlock various pieces and eventually progress to the next section. Great graphics, puzzles are challenging but not very difficult, hints are in a series that become progressively more obvious. Buy the first & see if you like it before getting the second.


5. Silent Age

Fan-fucking-tastic point and click adventure game. Great style, unique mechanic(jumping between present and dystopian future to solve each puzzle), decent story. First half is free, second half is quite expensive, so try the first half & if you like it, treat buying the second like a thank you for the first half as well. My favorite!

6. Yesterday

Similar point and click adventure to Silent Age, but 3d instead of 2d. Story is a little odd with highs and lows, but definitely worth a play. Art style is interesting, almost goes for the intentional bad/comic look of the Telltale Walking Dead games. There’s a free and a paid version with no discernible differences as far as I know. That reminds me, Walking Dead is also on android if you haven’t played it. More action/adventure story with a point and click interface than a puzzle, but it’s a game of the year winning series.

10 Must Play Addictive Games In Browser

7. Another World

Classic action point and click game, escape aliens.

8. Fire Maple Games

Series of three point & click explorer type games where you find puzzles in the world to progress. Short story guides each one but is pretty average, puzzles are varying quality & some make little sense, hints are obvious. If you really like Mystery type games!

9. Clockwork Tales

Another mystery style world exploring puzzle game. Free demo worth trying, final chapters are really expensive & I didn’t enjoy it/feel like it was long enough to justify the purchase, but the demo is worth it at least. I think the dev makes a lot of the same style.

Top 10 Indie Games Of April 2016

10. Quell

It has short levels but you can pass a lot of time with it. The music is soothing and overall it feels like a calm game, made for adults.

11. Carcassone

A game you play taking turns with another player (online, or vs computer offline) and try to rack up as many points as possible controlling territory.

12. The Last Door

It’s an amazing horror puzzle game with Lovecraft themes.

Honorary mention : WordMine

If you like word puzzle game, it is one of the new and best I have ever played. Addictive, especially the adventure mode. Great gameplay. You will stick to it for a while.We at Unanimous Studios also develop this kind of games for our customers, so if you want to develop a game for your business or want to do business from game, please contact us

Top 10 Indie Games Of April 2016 https://unanimoustech.com/2016/05/23/top-10-indie-games-april-16/ Mon, 23 May 2016 09:52:21 +0000 http://www.unanimousstudios.com/?p=780 Top 10 Indie Games Of April 2016

What’s going on the lovers of Indie games? Welcome to the season of lists, it’s now April, 2016 and the month holds plenty of gaming glory but not all of that will come from major marquee triple-a titles like Mirror’s edge to or the new legend of Zelda, in fact a lot of this year’s heat and charm will arise from smaller studios, Indie games more bite sized projects that hide plenty of  awesomeness.Btw we are Indie game developer, you can find our portfolio in this website

These are my top 10 Indie games of April’ 16 :

Days of War

We start off with the game already funded in the form of ‘Days of War’. The pitch here is to revive the WW2 fps genre. Regular viewers may realize that sounds incredibly similar to ‘Battalion 1944’, it is much prettier and got more funding, but overall we feel more convinced by ‘Days of War’. They’ve made it clear the focus is on skill and realism. There won’t be any kill streak or 360 no scope nonsense. There are soldier classes such as rifleman, sniper and rocket, and built-in support for modding. On a side note, you’ve got to love how Russian, British and French forces are all stretch goals, but the Americans, who only fought in the war for two and a half years, are going to be included in the game no matter what. God bless America.

Hyper Light Drifter

It is on PC right now, the consoles releases will be coming later. Its dungeons and upgrades are all very classic Zelda. The wordless story is powerful without being overbearing. The post-apocalyptic world is large, beautiful and full of curiosity. The game’s heart is its combat. It is hard, some would even say unsympathetic with its lack of instruction. But it respects the player’s intelligence and gives you its worlds and mysteries for all your private exploration and understanding. Fights demand your attention and have a great rhythm, the character movement is super slick, and it always feels boss to be wielding a sword made of light. It’s a special game.

Hyper Light Drifter

Deadbolt : Risk of Rain creators deliver again with merciless assassination game DEADBOLT. It plays a bit like Hot Miami, but more like Not a Hero, and even more like gunpoint. Playing as the Grim Reaper you must take out rooms with clinical and precise stealth. There is no room for error and zero chance of escape. By turning into smoke you can travel through vents, easily the coolest part of the game. Developer Hopoo Games have a proven ability to take 2D art to a new level. Deadbolt is a chilling, challenging and overall cracking stealth game.

Hyper Light Drifter

Out There Somewhere : It is and affordable and clever little retro package. What makes this platformer cum puzzler nifty is its teleport gun, which allows you to shoot a bullet and then travel to where it goes Much like the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver it’s the tool for every job, whether that be zapping through a waterfall of lava or jumping a gap. Things get a lot more crazy and creative than that, but we’ll leave them as surprises for you to uncover.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=fxAx0VroJP4

Moon Hunters

It shows the potential of narrative in roguelikes, but could have stayed in early access a bit longer. The game is full of interesting characters, lore, and amazing abilities like talking to animals. But to really uncover that stuff you need to invest time. It is still getting updated and the PS4 release in the works .

Moon Hunters

ADR1FT : It is a breath-taking lonely experience in space hindered by some rude interruptions. The game is a walking simulator, or in this case, more of a floating in space stimulator. Its kind of like playing Gravity or The Martian instead of watching them. That’s pretty cool The visuals are amazing, constantly stimulating your experience and adding an incredible level of reality. We can only assume this would be amplified in the VR version. From the very start you’re in trouble, the space station is destroyed, you have no memory of what transpired, and your oxygen levels are waning. The action only rises from there, making survival an engrossing and emotional task. It really all sounds great.

Moon Hunters

Quest of Souls : Is it the 1990s again? Well the re-emergence of denim jackets and ‘Quest of Souls’ will certainly have you asking that question. From its gameplay to its style, this throwback is all about recreating the shoot ‘em up RPG’s of 90’s. From the initiated, it’s basically a twin stick shooter with heaps of upgrades and abilities and items. What we really love about ‘Quest of Souls’ is its zany personality. Take for instance its three playable characters: a corgi dragonslayer, a lizardman samurai and a lich playing for the good side. It should also be perfect for playing with others, with co-op for up to 3 and competitive multiplayer.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=tqrbIn5AN88

Moon Hunters

LUX : By the time you read this, LUX’s campaign will be over, and, barring a miracle, it won’t have hit its funding goal. We’re not sure if Chimera Co. will persevere with the project. But considering, they got a graphic novel for the game funded, and that LUX has some neat ideas. Combining survival with MMO, LUX looks like an extra surreal, Don’t starve with way more players. That’s something we want to play.

 

Fear Effect Sedna

The critically acclaimed Playstation series ‘Fear Effect’ has returned with ‘Fear Effect Sedna’. About a year ago, Square Enix made some of its old and dormant IPs available to other developers. Sushee Games have taken full advantage of this and, to the delight of many gamers, decided to reboot Fear Effect. The original ‘Fear Effects’ were set in futuristic Hong Kong Underworld and were famous for their cut scenes that were cutting edge at the time. Sedna while keeping the setting and bringing back the original cast of characters, but the gameplay are different. Instead, of a variety of camera angles, things are fixed to an isometric perspective and cut scenes don’t seem to be embedded within the gameplay as the original.

Fear Effect Sedna

The Wild Eight : Arguably a bizarre cross between Eight Below and the Hateful Eight, ‘The Wild Eight’ is an Eerie survival adventure designed for co-op. A terrifying plane crash in the snowy wilderness of Alaska leaves 8 survivors to fend off the conditions, hunger, and wild predators. Co-op really unlocks the magic of the game because it brings the dynamics of teamwork. Will you pull together to find out, or will someone betray another survivor for cannibalistic snack? The worlds are procedurally generated, and there are different endings dependent on what side quests you do. We haven’t seen a lot of pile-driven games with a focus on small co-op teams, so we think ‘The Wild Eight’ is a fill a hole in the markets .

We use ‘Health’ for tracking quantities and types of medications with Workflow. We’ve created about 6 workflows to record data in proxy metrics for things we’d otherwise never use, like Thiamin, Niacin, etc. They correspond to the first letter of a medication, and we convert units when proxies use stupidly small ones (e.g. 50mg pill is 50000mcg of Molybdenum).The workflows are on the today screen and we can record data in 1-2 seconds – about as frictionless as one can record something. I’ll write an article about this at some point soon, I think it’d be useful for others to adopt.

Now, here are the list of top 10 apps for health and fitness for iOS users :

[Cocos2dx] FileUtils Cross-Platform Resource Handling For IOS and Android https://unanimoustech.com/2016/05/13/cocos2dx-fileutils-cross-platform-resource-handling/ Fri, 13 May 2016 19:47:55 +0000 http://www.unanimousstudios.com/?p=746 Prerequisite :
I hope the one going through this tutorial have prior knowledge of cocos2dx development and is currently using cocos2dx for one of their game project. A basic understanding of C++ and use of preprocessors is required to implement  this tutorial in one of your project.

Problem :
In most of the cross platform game development using cocos2dx scenarios their are multiple developer working on the same project faces a common issue related to paths of files in resource folder specially the assets like images and audio.
e.g
on ios / mac

Sprite *anSprite = Sprite::create(“some.png”);  works irrespective of it’s location in directory under Resource folder.
While for android you might have to specific the path to image like “path/to/image/some.png”

This wastes a lot of time if you have to port the project to run on either of the platform or any other supported by cocos2dx

How A Lazy Developer Solves This Problem  :

The shortest way to solve this is to put all the images and files under Resource Directory of cocos2dx.
Surely you don’t have bother about anything but again image if you have lots of asset that needs to be managed carefully for each resolution .

Cococ2dx Solution :-

Earlier CCFileUtils now FileUtils handle this problem for you with ease but i’ve seen most of the developer who only have to run the project on single platform will never care to use these methods and even if you use this it does make you code look a little ugly.

Usage :-
FileUtils::getInstance()
This singleton class provide lots of helpful and very useful methods for  file handling operations specific to different platforms.

Suppose you have various subfolder in your resource folder.
like this
Resource\Images\ipad\hero.png
Resource\Images\iphone\hero.png
Resource\Images\ipad\level1.png
Resource\Images\iphone\level1.png

Resource\Images\GameGUI\ // contains all UI related assets
To create any sprite from this you can write following like on iOS
Sprite *hero = Sprite::create("hero.png");
Sprite *levelBG = Sprite::create("level1.png”);

And this is not going to work when you run the code on android platform. As for android you need to specify full path of the resource or it should be  direct under Asset Folder and suppose you have various resolutions like HVGA WVGA etc so cocos2dx provide following flow.

Add Search Path in FileUtils specify resolution  anywhere in your code.
FileUtils::getInstance()->addSearchPath("Images");
FileUtils::getInstance()->addSearchPath("Images/GameGUI/“);

FileUtils::getInstance()->addSearchResolutionsOrder(“iPad”);
FileUtils::getInstance()->addSearchResolutionsOrder(“iPhone”);

Get path for File Name
FileUtils::getInstance()->fullPathForFilename(“hero.png”)

OR
FileUtils::getInstance()->fullPathForFilename(“level1.png”)

will return exact path to these images based on device resolution or type from the Resource folder.

Sprite *hero = Sprite::create(FileUtils::getInstance()->fullPathForFilename(“hero.png”));
Code will this work on any platform supported by cocos2dx.

Short Trick:
Now C++ is an excellent language and it does provide a lots of feature that an programmer can use to not only
optimise the code but make it look beautiful.
Using #define preprocessor will not only save your time writing FileUtils everywhere you need to access a resource but also make your code look clean.

Add these lines either in AppDelegate.h or any file where you put your constants or configurations
#define IMAGENAMED(__FILE_NAME__) (FileUtils::getInstance()->fullPathForFilename(__FILE_NAME__))
#define AUDIONAMED(__FILE_NAME__) (FileUtils::getInstance()->fullPathForFilename(__FILE_NAME__))
// just to make code look tidy.

#define ADDPATH(__FILE_PATH__) (FileUtils::getInstance()->addSearchPath(__FILE_PATH__))
#define ADDRESOLUTION(__RESOLUTION__) (FileUtils::getInstance()->addSearchResolutionsOrder(__RESOLUTION__))

Now i’ve this IMAGENAMED thing and i’m so obssessed with it ever since I started programming games for iPhone back in 2009 but you can feel free to use anything to define it in your code.

So the previous code block now becomes .

ADDPATH("Images");
ADDPATH("Images/GameGUI");

ADDRESOLUTION(“ipad”);
ADDRESOLUTION(“iphone”);

Sprite *hero = Sprite::create(IMAGENAMED(“hero.png”));
Sprite *levelBg =  Sprite::create(IMAGENAMED(“level1.png”));

You can use it anywhere for eg. in menu

10 Must Play Addictive Games In Browser https://unanimoustech.com/2016/05/09/10-must-play-addictive-games-browser/ Mon, 09 May 2016 11:06:06 +0000 http://www.unanimousstudios.com/?p=736 10 Must Play Addictive Games In Browser
Browser games hold a dear place in all of our hearts, whether it’s Club Penguin or Runescape; many ofyou however, wouldn’t have heard of more exciting, addictive and amazing games for browser. So here is the compilation of 10 play additive games for browser :

Key: (F) = Flash

(H) = HTML

(O) = Other

1. (F) Legend of the Void 1-2

A pretty deep rpg with nice graphics and a decent story. It has a bunch of easter eggs hidden around, and, if you are dedicated, a good amount of replay value to try out the different builds and find what you missed on your first run.

2. (F) My Pet Protector

It’s kind of like princess maker, in a way. You create a hero and tell them what to do chores-wise, level up their stats, and explore dungeons. This one is also part of a series, so make sure to check out the other Protector games if you like Tower Defense.

3. (F) Arkandian Series

If you liked MPP but weren’t a fan of anything but the combat and loot aspect, these games take those ideas and run with them. Make sure to play these in order, seeing as your achievements early on give you nice items in later games. Some achievements, IIRC, unlock races. The order to play is “Crusader, Revenant, Explorer”

4. (F) Sinjid

Now, the Sinjid series has always been a turn-based rpg series, but the game I am talking about is the latest reboot of the series. If you are really into Final Fantasy and other RPGs, give the first two, Shadow of the Warrior and Arena, a try. If you are more into open-world action rpgs, the game “Sinjid” should fill that niche nicely. The bosses are hard, the skill trees are big, the items are unique.WARNING: This is a very large cliented game. The game lets you opt to play without music if it takes too long to load, which, IMHO, indicates how big it is.

5. (F) Monster’s Den

Book of Dread: Into rpgs, but refuse to touch anything that isn’t slathered in a friendly coat of Pathfinder flavoring? This game is for you. Create a party, lead them into a the monster’s den, die. That’s all there is to it.

6. (F)Armed With Wings Series

The armed with wings series, at it’s core, is a hack-and- slash game. Each game, however, introduced some new mechanics that are worth checking out. The first game involves solving puzzles with your falcon (hawk, eagle? I don’t remember.), while the second introduces weapon-swapping and lets you play as the first game’s main villain. The third game places you in similar shoes to the first and second game, letting you use your bird and weapon-swapping. This time, though, you can level up skills. The story in these games is pretty great, and the third game’s soundtrack is pretty stellar. Make sure to try the spinoff, Red Moon, before you play three. Again, I can’t explain why you need to without spoiling anything.

7. (F) Feudalism 1-3

peaking of Mount & Blade, Feudalism is basically the flash equivalent to it, except for the lack of an ability to join up with a faction. The first two games are dated, but have a more dark fantasy aspect, while the third is much more up-to- code, but includes usage of magic. It’s up to personal preference here.

8. (O) GeoGuessr

You found Carmen Sandiego, you found Waldo, Wally, and whatever other aliases he uses, but can you find yourself? You are lost somewhere on google maps street view, and it’s your job to figure out where that place is. Score is based on accuracy and your position is randomized. May the odds be ever in your favor.

9. (F) RAZE Series

If you liked UT, you will probably like RAZE. It has a two-sided campaign, custom matches, and some what-if missions to play after you beat the game. Instagib is included, of course.

10. (F) The Last Stand

Union City: What? Not into ninja rpgs? How about a zombie rpg? It is an open-world horror RPG. If you liked Silent Hill, you will probably enjoy this game. I can’t tell you much about it without spoiling it, though.

I Hope this helps! If you are bored and got ideas about games and other sort of apps, you can follow

Unanimous Studios and get your games developed with your name on it.
