Extreme Curling by Enneract
Can you beat my high score of 905.6 meters? If you can you should totally post a screen shot.
This game *should* run on any android devices with 4.0 and above and that have OpenGL ES 2.0 support.
The game is available both on the Google play store (although it won't be available until a few hours after submission since it takes some time on Google's part). To install from the .apk file you need to make sure you that you have the unknown sources option enabled in Settings -> Security.
So my game got a little detracted from the theme, I was originally going for the idea of having only one bullet and you controlled it to hit the target. But I decided I needed more lulz, so somehow I ended with Extreme Curling where you only get one curling stone and have to control it.
WARNING: This is nothing remotely like curling.
Use you finger to control the curling stone to dodge the on coming blocks, and try to travel as far as you can to get a high score.
Speed boosters can be found in three variations:
-Green: weak
-Yellow: medium
-Red: strong
They will temporarily increase your speed while also giving you additional bonus distance.
Power ups are also found through out the course. You can only have one power up active at a time (so I guess that's some what relevant to the theme).
Power up types are:
-Double Distance: every meter traveled is worth two
-Black Out: every meter traveled is worth four, but you must do so in near darkness.
-Time Slow: slow time
-Shield: a bubble shield to protected you
-Broom of Death: a broom to sweep some blocks out of the way.

It's still be processed by Google, just give it another hour or two and it should work.
The gameplay concept is quite cool and fun!
I really liked the broom of death. Curling should be that way!
And the music was great as well, did you make that too?
@biscuitdough I'm guessing it's the same bug other people have been getting. I've just found a friend that has a phone that it crashes on which means I can test it and fix the bug now :) so hopefully it will be working in a couple of days.
@GagaPete yeah I would have loved to put leaderboards in it. I plan on polishing the game up and adding a view features like leader boards and in-game money/store. But wont be able to update the store link until after the judging is over, so keep an eye on it :)

Other than that, everything seemed to run smoothly.
