Precious10 can be seen as a mix of Fruit Ninja and Bejeweled (just because of the gems, actually :D). The whole game takes 10 seconds - hey, whole game. It means that once you open it, clock is ticking. Fair? Not sure... but this adds some desperation for sure, and THAT is fun. Do you see the gems up there, with a red X? Those are the ones you must NOT destroy, otherwise your score decreases.
We hope you have as much fun as we had with our game! :D
How to install it on an Android device? 1. Allow app installs from 'unknown sources' (in Parameters > Security) 2. Transfer the .apk to your device (by email for instance) 3. Install application by clicking on the file
...---*!!! UPDATE !!!*---... If you don't own an Android device, you can try this: http://youwave.com - Get the one with Android version 4.0.4
@gameXcore: Thanks for the comment! Yeah, we know it's not fair at all - it actually didn't mean to be. In the end, our intention was to apply our fresh knowledge on Android dev to make something playable, yet frustrating. Have you tried pausing the game? There's another "troll" feature there. :-)
@matthias_zarzecki: Thanks for the comment! Yeah, this time it's Android only - we've just had our first Android classes in our post graduation in the university, and we wanted to apply what we've just been taught on making something. ;-)
Hilarious concept with the clock ticking even during the main menu and when the game is paused. It was way to hard for me though, and I kept accidentally tapping through my high score. Fun! My best was 700.
@Meep: Thanks for the comment! Uploading 2 gameplay videos at this very moment! Will post the links to the entry description once finished! :D
@Croze, @Jhelle, @BradleySmith: Thanks for the comment! We really meant to use our fresh Android dev knowledge so developing it for Android was our extra challenge. We didn't use any engines that could export for several platforms - sorry for that.
@patrickgh3: Thanks for the comment! We're glad someone other than us liked it! LOL! :D
Yep, we actually thought about making the "right" jewels to increase the timer by 1 and "wrong" jewels to decrease it by one second, so we didn't need to have a score down there, being the final score the amount of seconds the player survived... but at a certain point, we thought the game would be "enjoyably frustrating"/"frustratingly enjoyable" if we just kept the 10 seconds as the total length of a game...
