This feels very polished. Fantastic work. How did you implement this? Is this done using RenderScript and standard layout elements or some OpenGL/gaming library?

#14This is not compatible with Ginger Bread... you will loose lots of potential downloaders.
I'm sure there is a reason for this. But it indeed is something OP may want to consider. Gingerbread is almost 50% market share.

As simple as the graphics are, I'd wonder whether it couldn't have been done another way. You're definitely right, not targeting 2.3+ is kind of a big deal.
The game is very decent, though; runs very well on the Nexus 7, solid gameplay, nice mechanics.

Thanks! I actually made everything with regular Android View elements and used Animator for all the animations.

It was originally supposed to support 2.3+, but due to timeline constraints I had to release it as 4.0+. I'll be looking into 2.3+ for a future release though!

#18Subtle design influences from Letterpress, looks like.
I don't have an Android device so I can't say more than that, but it looks nice!

#19Great game, very polished, but it looks like there's some kind of graphic glitch. After clearing 3 or 4 blocks, the top left Menu/Back button/area starts changing colors. Here's a screenshot: http://ompldr.org/vaGF3bA

Wow, very nice. Really shows how minimalist design can let you use the framework without resorting to OpenGL and still look great.
