I have not posted to the forums for awhile now since the start of the fall semester. I just finished, so now I'm finally able to work on some of my games again.
I was also able to get a android tablet (nexus 7) in order to test my game apps out.
Going back to the point I decided to revisit one of my older games and revise it because I believe it to have some potential.
Some of you may have seen or remember it from one of my older post. Its called cloud9 and basically the main point of the game (for now) is to navigate through falling objects and collect as many water droplets as possible with your character (a cloud). Simple but difficult in a way.
Here are some screens:

I have fully revisited the controls and optimized them for touch screen. Although I'm crossed between two forms of input that I can choose between. One in which the players sprite is pulled to the touch spot or vice versa were the players sprite is pushed away from the touch spot. If anyone has some thoughts please do tell.
I have included the .apk files of the two different versions. The first cloud9.apk uses the pull method and cloud9_2.apk uses the push method.
FYI: Dont bother reading the instructions because they need to be updated, also there are some small glitches in the game so don't worry about them.
CONTROLS: Everything is touch based so its all pretty basic, to play the actually game just touch the screen to move the cloud (either push or pull depending on the one you are playing) around and collect the water droplets with out hitting the spikes or enemies (falling spike balls). The balloons will push you around so be careful . The bets method in my opinion is to touch as little as possible in order to control the cloud efficiently.
ANY and ALL feedback/advice/thoughts are EXTREMELY welcome and appreciated. Please make sure to mention you device (tablet or phone), android version, and how the game worked out for you.
Thanks.
