Catch The Thief - Nigeria's First 3D Game On Android by crystalray(m): 6:22pm On Nov 01, 2013
Catch The Thief - Nigeria's First 3D Game On Android is now available for free download on MTN's NextPlay store on:

http://nextapps.mtnonline.com/30418

Works best with devices > 4.0.

The game was built by a Unilag GUY...and its an endless runner in which you have to chase a thief down UNILAG's main road endlessly while picking up naira notes and riding on an okada and doing special combos.

Support these guys OH! After playing tell me what you think!

Una don forget d topic sef. Good effort but still waitin to see a nice 3d game done in this country. U guys need to work a little bit harda. I've downloaded most games sampled on nairaland for the mtn comp jst to patronize sha but no 3d game yet bc dey are too large and the screenshots arent so encouraging. Nice effort all the same and please guys focus on the topic.

Had to dig out my Nexus 7 to play this.

It felt sloppy, almost as though the developer was just beginning to figure out how OpenGL works.

Could be better.

lol...the developer is 20 years old...lol thanks for the criticism....will pass the msg...it helps to build us, yeah, i guess 'openGL' can be a really tough nut.

crystalray: lol...the developer is 20 years old...lol thanks for the criticism....will pass the msg...it helps to build us, yeah, i guess 'openGL' can be a really tough nut.

Bro....dez r d faults I find:

1. Doesn't pause or resume after an interrupted session, e.g phone call or minimize,just hangs.

2. The name is catch the thieve, but I see myself not only running up to him but even running past him and into a void..it aught to be an endless runner,right?

3. It seems u had only big phones n tablets in mind...cause it looks like a cramped up taxi in small screens (everything is just tight n even overlapping each others edges...)



View ss below for the void I mentioned earlier...

Re: Catch The Thief - Nigeria's First 3D Game On Android by crystalray(m): 10:07pm On Nov 04, 2013
Thanks for pointing that out. According to the developer, 'android gpu capabilities vary. The bug is due to differences in pixel-specific rendering and processor drawcalls on different devices. Like you pointed out the game was developed and tested with high end devices (Tecno Phantom A+ actually with pixel shader > 2.0). We're working on correcting and improving the game for a second release..."


Thanks guys. We welcome positive criticisms and suggestions.

am not going to lie graphic wise yeah it looks weird but am impressed a Nigerian went the extra mile to start 3d development especially with OpenGL and nice one I believe the dev will gradually improve till he becomes very good. Nice work
