Hi, i cant install in on my samsung GT-5500, pls if u find any solution tell me.
Thanks a lot.
Sorry that you’re having problems with it. I’ll do some investigation to see if there’s anything unusual about that type of phone.
One thing you could try (the old “turn it off and on again” trick):
1. If the phone thinks that the app is installed then uninstall it (on my phone that would be: Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Mini Quests -> Uninstall).
2. Reboot the phone (hold down the On/Off button until a menu pops-up, and select Restart).
3. Go back to Android Market/Google Play and try installing the app again.
I’ve heard that that works on some phones, so fingers-crossed!
I don’t know if you’re aware of this problem, but starting the applet crashes firefox 12.0 on 64-bit Ubuntu (I have Java 6.23 – maybe that’s the problem).
Sorry about that. Applets can be such a pain. You’re right, updating to the latest Java version may well fix the problem. Or you could try running the test applet on Oracle’s site to see if that works any better.
Thanks for letting me know about the problem.
Great little Android game
Any plans for further dungeons?
Thanks! I absolutely do plan to add more dungeons, but building them is slow work. So keep an eye out for game updates – new dungeons will appear eventually.
Great game, really. Finished the two dungeons. Works perfectly on SGS II. Boss fights are epic. Design is flawless, you have a future as dungeon/puzzle designer. Will you introduce music as well? 8-bit soundtrack while fighting the dragon would be awesome.
Thanks! That’s a good thought about the soundtrack. I don’t have plans to add one at the moment, but sooner or later I’ll have to try playing the game with music in the background to see what fits. (It might need a few different bits of music – atmospheric, boss fights, etc. – which could take some work.)
Il gioco è qualcosa di veramente stupendo. Ve lo dice un nostalgico degli 8 bit. Ho giocato con la versione Android. Gli scenari sono disegnati mirabilmente ed alcuni puzzle sono davvero geniali. I combattimenti con i Boss sono mitici. Un piccolo gioiello, non c’è dubbio.
Pregherei l’autore di completare i nuovi livelli, perchè con questo gioco, una volta iniziato, non si può fare a meno di giocare.
Love this game, but how the hell do I get full hero ranking I’ve played dragons castle like 10
times
Get to the treasure as quick as you can – and don’t die! It’s tricky, but definitely possible. The walkthrough may give some clues.
