[Panda2]Make 10! - A card game for Android.

[Wolfsbane]

Hiya Guys and Girls,

Make 10! is a fairly simple, solitaire-like Card game that requires a bit of math, memory, and luck to complete with a perfect score. But it's pretty satisfying when that's achieved.

It's great for children, but provides a pretty addictive little experience for adults, too.

Currently: This game is Android App only. I'm working on a website to publish it to.

One of the feedback's I'd like to hear: Is the .apk size putting you off downloading? It's almost 60mb, and most of it's because it's been built with Crosswalk. (which should produce a slightly higher quality, but I'm not sure if it's worth the extra 40+mb filesize...)

You can also leave a rating, if ya like. ?‍?

Tech info:

• Game developed and built with Panda2. (Which as been a pretty good experience, and it's proven very well suited for building Card games.) Really made the Javascript-to-App conversion super painless.
• Art by the talented @Nikky Oryzano (Who I'd recommend

Great work and congratulations on getting your game published!

About Crosswalk, it's really needed only if you want to support Android 4.x, which distribution percent currently is around 10%.

One note about the game is that it seems to be designed to work only on a specific screen aspect ratio, which means that on some devices you will see black bars. Fixing this on such a simple game would be really easy.

Greetings! Tested on Android 7.1.1 using a Moto E

I've left a good review on Google Play saying "Nice, casual solitaire game with a twist"

The app performed well and was enjoyable to play. It's kind of a toss-up on Crosswalk - yes the additional file size may be off-putting to some, but folks with older devices tend to have fewer choices on the Play-Store that are compatible, so it may be worth it. I believe the Play-Store has options for having different versions of the App for separate Android versions, so you may be able to have Crosswalk only apply to Android 4.x, and have a smaller version apply to newer versions of Android.

Most of all, congrats on getting your game on to the Play-Store; it's a very unforgiving platform. Good Luck!

Thanks Enpu!

Yes, you're right. I should take a look at that. There was some reason I didn't code it that way to begin with, but I can't remember it now. I think I was just trying to keep things simple.

That's a good idea. I'll take a look at that.

Is crosswalk necessary to run the game at all on Android 4.x?

But (for me): I used Crosswalk because I was getting blurred graphics for my build on my phone (which is Android 6.0). E.g. see this topic.  I was testing on a chinese model (Meizu MX6).
