Hey folks,
I've been writing a party game called 'BombSquad' for quite a while now and I'd like to get it on OUYA, however I don't yet have my console. I was wondering if anyone with an actual OUYA would be willing to try this out for me and tell me if or how well it works.

BombSquad_OUYA_1.3.5b2.apk

I've gotten it working well on my Nexus 7 and have added very generalized gamepad support, so I'm curious if the OUYA controllers will work 'out-of-the-box' or not. You can go into Settings->Controllers->Configure Gamepads in the game to set up button mappings if need be. You can also use iOS or Android devices as gamepads via the 'BombSquad Remote' app, and it supports up to 8 players.

Thanks much in advance, and I hope you like it! (provided it works in the first place...)

I'm working on adding internet play to it in the coming months, but for right now it's all local multiplayer (up to 8 players). It should support most any gamepad and you can use iOS/Android devices as controllers too so its not too hard to get big games going.

That's good to hear!
..though unfortunately I'll have to flip off support for non-OUYA android hardware soon since I don't want to release the game on general Android until I have network play finished. (8-way local multiplayer isn't too feasible on a phone..hehe)

Wow. This looks amazing! Assuming my OUYA shows up at some point, I will definitely be checking this out.

This game seems like great fun, and I'm simply in LOVE with the animations! Well done on this one.
This game is definitely going on my buy-list (whenever it's out).

I'm going to be trying this out on Saturday. Looks awesome though.
