If you can you should totally post a screen shot.\r\n\r\nThis game *should* run on any android devices with 4.0 and above and that have OpenGL ES 2.0 support.\r\n\r\nThe 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.\r\n\r\nSo 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.\r\n\r\nWARNING: This is nothing remotely like curling.\r\n\r\nUse 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.\r\nSpeed boosters can be found in three variations:\r\n-Green: weak\r\n-Yellow: medium\r\n-Red: strong\r\nThey will temporarily increase your speed while also giving you additional bonus distance.\r\n\r\nPower 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).\r\nPower up types are:\r\n-Double Distance: every meter traveled is worth two\r\n-Black Out: every meter traveled is worth four, but you must do so in near darkness.\r\n-Time Slow: slow time\r\n-Shield: a bubble shield to protected you\r\n-Broom of Death: a broom to sweep some blocks out of the way.","title":"Extreme Curling"}
