> Steven Thank you for your comment. I'll definetely let you know when I bring my game to beta level. Mean while, I'll try to update website to show my development progress so please keep your eye on it!
EDU Blaster looks like fun educational game to play! When I play it, hopefully I can provide some feedback. I'm glad to see you are still working with Android game development. I believe Android has lots of potential so let's keep working on it! > Muthu I agree with you. It would be nice if someone can have fun while learning - we will get better at things when we find it interesting. Nitendo DS has mega-hits on educational games (it's more like brain-tweaser quiz, but I think it falls into the same category) so I think if executed properly, I think potential market is really big! > Others I can pick Android game that I find on the web and go over few things, but I'd rather original developer write about it - to share interesting stories or show-off some cool features etc. So I'm still waiting to hear more about your game!
