Aquaria for Android available on HIB

[IcyEyeG]

Aquaria for Android is available as a part of the Humble Bundle for Android 6.

Get it on http://www.humblebundle.com/!

Can't wait to try it out on my tablet, and on Ubuntu (let's see if this build is updated to work on the latest Ubuntu).
I'll give feedback ASAP.

UPDATE: Ubuntu builds seem to be the same as previous bundles, and doesn't seem to be a part of the Ubuntu Software Center coupon, let's see if they update this in the next days.

My 7 inch tablet, a Window (YuanDao) N70HD (Dual Core Tablet PC 7 Inch IPS Screen RK3066 Android 4.1 1GB RAM 16GB) is apparently not compatible, as I couldn't finish the APK installation.

Here is some info regarding system requirements, and known supported/unsupported devices, for the Android version:

Thanks! The Rockchip RK3066 is ARMv7 so it should work, according to the support page....

When you say it "couldn't finish the APK installation", is there a particular error message that shows up? I can't find a detailed spec sheet from a quick search, but if it's ARMv7 with Android 4.0 or later (and if the device has enough free storage space -- remember that Android needs space to install the APK after downloading it, so you need twice the APK size = ~1.1GB free) then it should work.

[IcyEyeG]

I saw that RK3066 is ARMv7 here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockchip#List_of_Rockchip_SoC

As far as the error is concerned, it simply returns "App not installed".
My tablet has 16 Gb of memory devided in 1 Gb as "Internal storage" and the rest in a partition accessible via USB mass storage. The internal storage has 537 MB free at this point, and I have the APK in the mass storage partition (with 8.5 GB free).

[achurch]

Okay, it sounds like what's happening is that Android is trying to install the app to the mass storage partition (this is normal, since you don't have enough space on the internal storage partition), but Android-specific data stored on the mass storage partition is corrupted or missing. Unfortunately, the only sure-fire way I know of to fix this is to do a factory reset of the device, which should reformat the mass storage partition and rewrite the Android data correctly. However, there are two things you might try first:

- Make sure your device is disconnected from the PC when you install the app. Accesses from a PC to a mass storage device can prevent Android from using the device.

- Check whether there's a folder named ".android_secure" (the leading dot is important) in the root folder of the mass storage partition. If not, create it and then try installing the app again.

Also, this goes without saying but if you do a factory reset, make sure to back up all your data first. (:

my phone doesn't seem to run it either, but I'll try again to make sure the download or transfer to my phone didn't mess it up

update:
"parse error
there is a problem parsing the package"

oh well, guess it can't be on my phone. have it for computer anyway so no matter.

I can confirm that Samsung Galaxy S4 runs it quite well, apart from a couple crashes in the beginning area when opening the menu.  With gamepad support, love being able to use a PS3 controller instead of the touchscreen.

It works like a charm on my Samsung Galaxy Tab II.

TF101(OC Tegra2 2x 1,5 Ghz): Installation ok, but really slow and sound crackles.
Xperia Play: couldn´t even install the game, "Bad Parsing" or something like that. Does the game support installation on Sd? Or maybe i need Android 4.x?
I hope,You can fix these bugs, because i like the game very much and it was the main reason to buy the humble bundle.
Another issue is lack of HW Keys support.  It would be really nice, if You add gamepad support(Xperia PLAY, Archos Gamepad, Nvidia Shield, or just a bluetooth Device like Moga).

Unfortunately, the Tegra 2 chipset is a bit underpowered for running Aquaria. You may be able to get better performance by going to the options menu and disabling the "Ripple Effects" option.

Xperia Play: couldn´t even install the game, "Bad Parsing" or something like that. Does the game support installation on Sd? Or maybe i need Android 4.x?

Yes, Android 4.0 is required -- see the system requirements.

Another issue is lack of HW Keys support.  It would be really nice, if You add gamepad support(Xperia PLAY, Archos Gamepad, Nvidia Shield, or just a bluetooth Device like Moga).

Aquaria supports built-in gamepad keys, as long as the device itself reports them as gamepad keys (and not something else like keyboard keys). Unfortunately, this is a device-specific issue and there's not much I can do about devices that don't follow the standard.

I've uninstalled most of the apps on my tablet and installed the 1.1a version released today, and it works!  
The only problem I found is that the whole app stays in the internal storage (all 541 MB) with no possibility of moving it to the mass storage partition.
Therefore now I only have 161 MB free  in the internal storage partition... But I get to play Aquaria

One side note:
If you want to use your saves from your PC game, just copy your save-*.aqs files to Android/data/com.bit_blot.aquaria_humble/files/save in your mass storage partition and rename them to save-*.bin.  
Please note: You won't be able to use the *.bin saves on PC builds. As pointed out by achurch, if you try to use them on a PC, you'll loose your inventory and all visited data on the world map!!
If you want to rename them quicly open a terminal (or cmd in Windows) at the folder above and write:

Code: [Select]

rename s/.aqs/.bin/ *.aqsin Linux or

Code: [Select]

ren *.aqs *.binin Windows
It's a shame that you have to rename them though, because I'd be able to sync the saves between my tablet and my PC (already do that with my laptop).
