If you're getting a black screen with no colored circles, it seems like it has a problem rendering to texture, which is surprising. The purple screen tends to happen if you task switch or rotate between portrait and landscape mode. The joys of heterogenous devices."},{"author_name":"gre","author_uid":"18803","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 5:01pm","epoch":1377536160,"text":"Same as vandriver on Nexus 4"},{"author_name":"Mclogenog","author_uid":"14996","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 6:06pm","epoch":1377540060,"text":"It's a clever little game, but the controls right now feel a bit touchy on pc. I felt like I had a little more control with arrow keys, but still some more "stickiness" to the balls would help. It's also a design that I think lends itself more to an infinite mode than "ten second" mode, but maybe if I was better at it I'd argue differently :P"},{"author_name":"KeithE.","author_uid":"25189","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 7:51pm","epoch":1377546360,"text":"The visual of the balls merging is really cool.  Without the time limit this would be really relaxing.  I played the windows version but I imagine this would be even better on a touch device.  Great Job!"},{"author_name":"madk","author_uid":"1540","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 8:24pm","epoch":1377548340,"text":"Nice idea!

You can install an Android .apk file using these instructions: http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/guides\/beginner\/install-apk-files-on-android\/.\r\nThe Android build has only been tested on a LG Nexus 4, so your mileage may vary.\r\n\r\n--Controls--\r\nhold down left mouse\r\nor\r\nuse arrow keys\r\nIf you like the game, check out my web site at http:\/\/www.dissidentlogic.com for my other stuff.\r\n\r\n\r\n-----UI-----\r\ngreen blips: success\r\nred blips: failure\r\nblue blips: remaining time\r\n\r\nYou play as a ball. There are other balls. Everything is gravitationally attracted to everything else. \r\n\r\n----GOAL----\r\nYour goal is to get balls of the same color to collide and merge. Balls of the same color will annihilate each other. Balls of different colors will merge into a ball of combined color. When the blue blips at the bottom are gone, you are done for, and the screen will turn red.\r\n\r\n----MECHANICS DETAILS----\r\nYou get 10 seconds added to your clock if you match balls of the same color. You get 5 seconds subtracted if you match balls of the wrong color. A new ball will spawn every 10 seconds, or for every ball that you merge.\r\n\r\n\r\n-----OTHER-----\r\nI plan on doing an Android port very soon here.","title":"Amoeba Sheba"}
