Test Results & Discussion For Side-Loading

[Hydrus]

I'm starting off with this one:

Advena (version 1.0.7)


> As soon as I started the game, I got a message on the screen.

This app cannot connect to Market. Your version of Market may be out of date. You can continue to use this app but you won't be able to make purchases.

[ Ok ] [ Learn More ]

> When navigating through the menu using the analog stick or d-pad (OUYA controller), you can hear navigation SFX but you can't see anything. Well, you can see the menu and stuff, you just can't see where you're going.

> I noticed that I'm having over-scan issues. Not that bad. At least for now.

> The OUYA controller works fine with it.


Conclusion:

The game is playing fine. I have not encountered any problems besides the annoying touch controls and over-scan issues. Wonder if I can turn it off..

Baseball Superstars 2009 (version 1.1.5, Free version)

> I started the app and did not get any messages unlike Advena.

> The menu can be navigated with the OUYA controller. This time, you can actually see where you're going.

> In order to select an option in the menu, you must use the touchpad and from there, use the touch controls.

> The analog sticks can be used in-game. Buttons do not work.

Conclusion:

The game is playable. No sound/graphical glitches. The touchpad requirement isn't a killer.

After Earth (version 1.0.1)

> I'm having some issues with this game. Whenever I launch the game the screen starts flickering. It goes back to the Android screen thing, then to the studio splash-screen and finally to the After Earth loading screen. It's stuck in this loop. There's no way to get out of it, not even button mashing
solves this problem.

> Even after going into System > Advanced > Developer Options and checking off 'Don't keep activities', it still didn't work. It's totally un-playable at the moment.

Conclusion:

This is un-playable.

[YES] [NO]

Couldn't play this game without Google Play.

Conclusion:
