Explaining the “lag” #android
14.10.2010 - 2 comments
We noticed many people commenting about a delay between pressing a direction and your army moving in that direction, or what some call “lag”. However your army is walking an invisible grid, so turns and moves can only be done at specific points on the screen (when your soldier is at the center of a cell in the grid).
This might feel like “lag” in early levels because of the slow speed your army is moving at, but it’s just game logic! We didn’t think drawing the lines of the grid looked good in the game and most gamers seem to understand how it works 
New stuff is a comin

We are currently hard at work getting ready for the next update of Mini Army. You might already notice a new Leaderboard showing up, this will contain the total-kills you have managed to do in all your games (we’ve been keeping track of this since the first version, so these totals are already counting as you play right now!)
The update will also introduce a new game mode: Tactics (see screenshot below). This is for the more tactical gamers, and will be an added game mode next to the Classic mode.
Other plans for this update include some TNT to blow up scenery, and a statistics screen to show you your overall game stats (amount of kills, amount of time played, etc.)
We also managed to find some small bugs left and right, and they will be fixed, and who knows.. we might add another goodie or two to play with! Hopefully the update will be available next week!
Pimping the army!

Great detailed review of the game can be read here
update 1.1.0

This update adds new control methods to the game, some gamers are requesting other ways to control the game and we listen!
We added: Trackball, (hardware)keyboard, on-screen D-pad’s for left and right handed users, and 4-point directional controls. This should help get some of you back in the game
Controls

We always try to get the best controls in our games, and with Mini Army we experimented with various idea’s , and ended up with the current “simple” turning-controls. Now of course not everyone might like it, and we are glad to listen to ideas!
We will try to implement some different control scheme’s in future updates, so if you have great ideas let us know in the comments,on twitter or on facebook, and we will try to see if we can include them without making the game to “fiddly”
RELEASED ! #android

We’ve used the last few days to squash some bugs and get the game ready for a first release this coming Friday on Android Market! Remember, the game will be on sale for the first two weeks, after that we plan to release some great updates so you don’t want to miss those!
We are already planning another game mode called “Tactics” and most likely we add some more goodies to the game to make it a worthy update.
So get ready to march your Mini Army this coming Friday on any Android device!
Release this friday! #android

The release date is set! This Friday, October 1st will see Mini Army appear on Android Market, check out the full press release below:
The Mini Army is looking for platoon commanders! You will be tasked with deploying your units in various environments, and guiding them on missions to take out the enemy soldiers, tanks, helicopters and more. Make sure to avoid dangerous terrains and avoid walking into highly dangerous mine fields!
Controlling your unit is as easy as making a snake eat apples, but surviving the various missions is a hard task for even the most seasoned commanders.
Great commanders will be able to fight battles in different environments like the hot sandy desert, or the cold and icy winter forests.
This coming Friday, Mini Army sign-ups will be open on Android Market at a discount rate of €1.00 ! This discount rate for early draftees will end on October 14th, so be there early !
More details about the Mini Army can be found at : http://www.orangepixel.net/miniarmy/
All interested draftees should watch our promo video and join the army this coming Friday! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MiK_PfyGlY
