Is 132mb the apk-size? Did you check the android log if the error message is the same? You can post the latest apk here if you want.

Thanks! I have no idea how well the interface works on touch yet though. Many tooltips display on hover and such, so I might have to change that. As soon as I have the Android-version done, we will release the full version for PC too. Please try it as well, I believe it will be an even better experience. As for Resource Wars, I still have a ToDo on my phone that says "Post Resource Wars on ZGE Forum". I keep forgetting about it when I'm here, since it was some time ago since the release. Fun to hear you liked that too. That last release really made loads of changes, so we are actually very satisfied with it now.This game feels much more polished and fun than the last version I played. Great work, really original and wonderfully weird! Btw, I checked your page and also found a final version of Resource Wars, that looks great as well. Please post here when you make releases and updates otherwise we might not notice
Exactly, much use of transparency. Though I might actually be able to improve things slighty more: I had forgotten to convert the graphics used on the computer, which actually contains quite a lot of graphics. Might be the thing that tips the scale so it works on my phones as well.Since the compression ratio is so high I assume you have lots of high-resolutions bitmaps that can't be converted to Jpg, such as transparent sprites/icons etc?
Great tip! Will try that next time.You should not need to root your phone to see the log, just have turn on development mode. Please note that by default ZGE only shows log messages from the ZGE app itself so if there is an internal log message from the Android system that it runs out of memory trying to load the app then that will not show. When you generate the apk ZGE will create a r.bat file to run the app with logging, if you edit that file and remove " -s "ZgeAndroid"" then all log messages will show instead.
Correction: the file is called run.bat, not r.bat.VilleK wrote:... When you generate the apk ZGE will create a r.bat file to run the app with logging, if you edit that file and remove " -s "ZgeAndroid"" then all log messages will show instead.
