Crazy Tiles GAME description

Now version 1.9 fixed problems running under Android 4.x line, assuming this retroactively fixes Honeycomb tablets (3.x) phones/tablets/SmartTV of 4.x (not Nexus TV though) all worked in testing. This app is ad-supported.

The updated version is ready, while this original.versions cater users of 2.2 or older phones, Since older phones are nearly no longer being used. The new version will need Gingerbread (2.3) at the least, it offers features that older phones cannot support.

Unfortunately 1.9 will be last version supporting Froyo (2.2) and/or older phones; Google is phasing out support for those devices sooner than expected. I planned to implement a score ladder and few other things, Gingerbread (2.3) will be the minimum requirement.

Note: I misplaced the key for this listing and update will not be possible, This app will be active until further notice so older phones (Android 1.6, 2.1, 2.2) can access it. A newer version that take advantage of current social gaming trend and offers other features is already available (leaderboard, achievement, multiplayer, sound, and board sizes).

This game is inspired by Crazy Eight but played with tiles on a board, it is re-imagined and adjusted to allow playing solo or duel.

The game starts on a blank 5x5 board except a wildcard joker tile in the middle. You are given tiles (made of 1 of 4 colour, and 1 of 4 card suite symbols, for a total of 16 possible combinations) and your task is to either (or both):

- last in the game as long as you can
- get higher score faster than your opponent to reach 3000 pts
- check your opponent with no more valid moves on his/her/AI part

Valid moves are either correct tile moves onto the board or the use of remaining lifeline in the form of trash can that discarded current tile (3 lifelines at the start of game).

A correct move onto the board is quite similar to how Crazy Eight is played, but being a board game there are differences. Connecting tiles must have either or both same colour and/or symbol to all existing surrounding tiles (at least one), no exceptions.

Joker wildcard tile behaves very differently. It is considered to be compatible to any other tile, at the same time; and if you get your hands on it (by scoring a row/col with joker amongst the line) you can place it anywhere even by itself. There is only one Joker tile in the game and it can be trashed for an extra strategic dimension.

Scoring by completing a row/col line gives you 500 points in the game, and if you manage to do a combo row and column lines at the same time 1200 points are awarded.

There are 5 varieties built into this version of the game.

- single-player puzzle
- head-to-head high score (3000, played on same phone)
- head-to-head checkmate
- versus phone high score (phone stands in as 2nd player)
- versus phone checkmate

I was planning to have over-the-net play incorporated but it couldn't be done without raising requirement to Android Froyo or Gingerbread; only the prerequisite of 'Net access is in and at this moment I used it as ad-support in the main screen.

If there's a bug or suggestion for enhancement I welcome your comment.
