OVERVIEW

• Character select screen


The game initially has one playable character (Bomberman) and provides 4 unlockable characters as you progress through the game. Each character has its own set of levels and by finishing these levels, you unlock the next character.










• Quiz screen


The goal of the game is to solve a simple math quiz. You’re given an arithmetic operation with a missing digit in the result. If you find this digit during the game-play, you advance to the next level.






• Levels


Each character plays three different levels with increasing difficulty. The levels vary in the number of enemies and their speed. The last level has faster enemies. The game automatically saves your progress on your sd-card so that you can continue from where you started.








• Gameplay


You can move your character on the gird using the DIRECTIONAL buttons. Place bombs using the game FIRE button. Select the quiz answer using your game A button.
When bombs explode, fires spread in four directions killing and destroying anything they meet. When fire reaches a bomb it creates a “chain reaction” resulting in more destruction. When you destroy breakable blocks you either reveal a power-up, a digit for the puzzle solution or nothingness.
Enemy numbers increase per level and they move in totally random motion. So, good luck!
















• Powerups


Powerups are your allies against the barbarian monsters. To pick a powerup, simply walk on it. Power-ups disappear after some period of time, so pick them quickly. Whether you pick up a good or a bad powerup, you’ll get score points. The game has ten powerups generated randomly throughout the grid:

• fire-up – increases the bomb’s fire range by one point.
• fire-down – decreases the bomb’s fire range by one point.
• bomb-up – increases the number of bombs you can place simultaneously.
• bomb-down – decreases the number of bombs you can place simultaneously.
• speed-up – increases your speed by one point.
• speed-down – decreases your speed by one point.
• power-bomb – moves your bombs’ range points to the maximum.
• roll-bomb – allows you to throw bombs forward.
• no-roll-bomb – disables the previous powerup.
• pierce-bomb – allows your bombs’ fires to penetrate multiple walls.

PERMISSION DESCRIPTION

• Storage – SD-Card access. This is needed to store your progress.

GTimer

If you’re looking for a way to increase productivity and improve performance, if you have a busy day with plenty of work to keep track of, if you care about time, GTimer is the App you need!
Whether you need to workout early in the morning before work, complete some tasks before the deadline, pre-schedule for tonight’s study, broil a steak for a couple of minutes or play an out-door game, GTimer is a must-have.

WHAT’S GTIMER?

A unique Android talking-beeping-vibrating timer/stopwatch with special features. Elegant, compact, easy-to-use and FREE!

OVERVIEW

• Main screen

Here you can create a new timer by choosing ‘Add new GTimer…’. Name your file and start editing. More on that in Edit screen section.
You can choose one of your created timers or one of the samples included. You’re then presented with three options; ‘Play’ – which moves you to the Play screen, ‘Edit’ – moves you to the Edit screen and ‘Delete’ – which simply deletes the file permanently.
Also, from the main screen, you can also choose ‘Settings’ – moves you to the Settings screen or ‘About’ – gives you the app version and developer contact info.












• Play screen

The play screen consists of three parts. Title area and subtitle area – where title/subtitle of the current event is shown. Both title and subtitle are spoken when text-to-speech is enabled. Timer area – which shows the time and with a touch on that area the time pauses. Pressing the back button once also pauses the timer. Pressing it when in pause mode stops the timer and returns to the Main screen. The pause/stop mechanism was chosen like this to avoid unintentional interactions.
Pressing the home button will leave the timer running in the background and go to your home screen. To go back, open the app again.














• Settings screen

Here you can configure your preferences. You can toggle beeps, text-to-speech and vibration notifications. Any combination of these can be used. You can also enable wake lock feature which prevents the device from sleeping while in Play screen. One last option is the timer speed. ‘x1’ is the normal speed. ‘x10’ and ‘x100’ are ten times and hundred times the normal speed. These are for testing purposes in case you made a timer and don’t know whether it’s running correct.






• Edit screen

Here you can create and customize your gtimer files. A gtimer file consists of events. Each event has a title, subtitle, duration and colour.
Pressing ‘Add…’ gives you a dialogue asking for event title_subtitle, duration in hr-min-sec and colour in hexadecimal format. After you’re done press ‘Done’. Yep! It’s that simple! You can add as many events as you want. If you want to modify an event or delete it, just press the event and you’ll be presented with these options ‘Edit’ and ‘Delete’. You can also swap events order by choosing ‘Down’ which swaps the chosen event with the one below it. When you’re done choose ‘Save “gtimer_name“‘. IMPORTANT – pressing the back button will discard all the changes.
