Information about this project:
2019-12-08: This game has been sold to an outside company and is no longer supported by DPoisn LLC. Thank you for your interest in this project. The rest of this page is still here for you to view.
This is a BRAND NEW version of this game. That is to say, this is not an upgrade, but a complete replacement. The graphics and the sounds are all that I kept. Every last bit of the code was started over from scratch.
Note for 1/28/2018: I added a high score table to the live database to track all scores on all games. Here are the high scores for THIS game:
I used a completely different method to create the project. I fixed ALL of the problems I had with the old version. The sounds now work 100%. There is music. Plus, you can turn them on and off and save preferences.
If you would like to read about and/or download the previous version, it's still up and running. Click here, to open the part of this page containing that project.

Information about the PREVIOUS version of this project.
A word about this project... This thing had some trouble right from the beginning. Many people complained about the sound. Others complained they just plain didn't like it. Meanwhile, it is by FAR my most downloaded app on Google Play. It still gets a lot of downloads. But it gets just as many 5-star reviews as it does 1-star reviews. It's actually pretty funny to see. People either love it or hate it.
Whatever the case, for unrelated reasons, mostly dealing with the name, the app is probably coming down from Google Play. As such, I wanted to make a new version to replace the original. And THIS time, I wanted to do it right. So, I still suggest you grab the new one above. But if you're still interested, here is the original app...
Below is the original text from the page, as it was.
Version 2.1 is up on Google Play as of 4/13/2014. The new version includes sound effects. That was a serious oversight on my part when I first released it. I got a lot of complaints.
Probably the most useless game in the universe, even by "time killer" standards. Keep in mind that this is all a learning process for me. This project was to make an attempt at some things I'd never tried before.
To that end, this app serves as a good proof of concept for:
• Graphic swapping
• User interaction
• An actual game (yay!)
• Random events
• Good layout design
• Swapping layouts depending on screen
• Force portrait (there is no Landscape view)
A note to the people that have been disappointed with this game on Google Play. Sorry about that. I really am. I tried to do something really simple. If you expected more than that, there are a gazillion alternatives. Everything about this project is helping me learn how to do this stuff. It's not like I'm charging any money for it. I've done the best I could with my current level of knowledge. And I'm satisfied for that. I don't know that I will be updating this game any more, unless I figure out a better way to implement the sound. And I don't think that's gonna happen with the development environment that I'm using. It's not really made for games.
In short, I know the game is not flawless. But considering how much I learned as I was going, I will not be making those same sorts of mistakes in my future projects. I'll make all new ones. (Programmer joke).
