I Heard You Like NookColor…
Play Burning Platform on your Android device!
So, when I was writing this game I’d completely forgotten that a person using a Nook Color could install the apk and play it. It was only when one of the folks in IRC asked if he could have a direct link to the apk because he lacked access to Google Play did I remember it was even possible. So here it is:
The Nook Color presents challenges for many developers due to its performance profile. So how does Burning Platform fare here? Really well, actually! The framerate and animation was butter smooth even with hundreds of moving objects flying around. The one thing it did not do well however is play my SFX. The music was fine, but the device refused to play any other sound files. Go figure!
If enough people out there are on Nook, or otherwise are unable to access Google Play, I’ll make the apk available publicly on my website. Let me know in the comments if you are on a device without Google access!
Its true, you can install APKs in developer mode on the Nook Color. You can also dual or triple boot a Nook Colour with CyanogenMod, though B&N probably don’t like this. I’m not saying I do that personally, but your game worked very well on my Nook Color.
