Hey guys.
I just made my first android game. Its called walkabout - the idea is to collect all the stars on each level, but as you walk the path beneath you disappears. You need to think about your route or you'll be stranded!
Feedback and comments on the market greatly appreciated!!
It supports all resolution phones with native graphics. Tablets use 1024x768 graphics scaled down to the tablet screen size. NO upscaling ever :)
The market link for the free version with less levels is:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.base2.walkaboutdemo
Or you can search 'walkabout' in the market.
Full version is here:

A user has made a walkthrough in case you're stuck on any particular level!

Have you received your Xoom yet? I see you posted on the Motorola Xoom Forum that you were expecting it.

I kept debating back and forth weather to get it. In the end I decided to cancel it as its too expensive in the UK. I'll try and pick one up when I go to the US :P

Thanks for all the support! Walkabout crossed the 10k downloads mark, and is on its way to the 15k mark :)
Try it if you haven't already - the free version has plenty of levels!

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know the full version of Walkabout is now FREE on GetJar for a limited time. Go grab it now! No registration or personal info needs to be entered, there's no ads or any other funny business, just point your phone/tablet here:
http://getjar.com/Walkabout
In case you don't know about GetJar, its one of the oldest app stores, and the biggest free app store in the world. They're offering select apps for free. There's some very big names there too ilke Gamelion (Doodle Fit), Konami’s (Krazy Kart Racing), Imperio, Handy Games ‘Guns ‘n’ Glory, Herocraft’s ‘Farm Frenzy’ and TouchType’s ‘SwiftKey X’.
http://www.getjar.com/about/pressrelease/getjar-gives-away-1-million-worth-of-free-apps-as-its-gold-program-explodes/
From a developer perspective they pay me a small amount per download. So please go check it out, its free for you, and every download generates me a small amount of money to work on my next indie game (even if you don't like it and uninstall it!) :)
Kam
PS. ignore the '0 downloads' stats there, it only just came out and those stats won't update till tomorrow!
