Fire Hoop Racer is an idea inspired by my kids. It's got a very physics / sandboxish feel to it. The idea is for each level you need to sail through each hoop lit on fire and collect every coin. Here's Milestone 1 in action:

    Heh, I like the idea of watching the entire coding of the game (but in super sped up mode... or maybe that is normal speed and I'm just really slow at coding :O ). Would be cool to also have better video of the gameplay

    Was  also wondering if you'd be interested in having Fire Hoop Racer as a playable game for people to try out at the OUYA meetups on Jan 24th?

    Nice, I love how you showed all the coding.  Let's gamers see what it really takes to make a game.  I wish I had that skill.  Can't wait to see this on OUYA!

    Thanks! SpoonThumb, I'll get a better video ASAP tomorrow once I'm no longer heads-down during the final stretch. Also, where do I post the APK? Would here be cool? I'm cool with having the game playable for the meetup! Wish I lived closer to those.

    EdK, thanks! This is actually my second project ever in Java so speeding it up actually makes it look like I know what I'm doing, haha! My super-secret project for OUYA launch ( not this gamejam game ) is written in C++ against the NDK.

    Hey All!
    Made the deadline! Had a ton of fun on this project and watched just about every video here. So many good submissions.

    Submission version of the APK is available for download here: blog.metaphx.com/dls/CreateGameJamFireHoop.apk

    Check out the Submission video!

    Found out from another OUYA fan that the controls are broken on the actual OUYA device. Unfortunately I wasn't able to test on an OUYA so my submission is broken :(. I mapped the controls as best I could via guessing, haha. So, if you use a USB input device you should be fine ;). 

    Also, the game doesn't have the right intent to have the game on the OUYA launcher screen. I'm still really happy with how it came out, broken on the OUYA device but I plan on working with my kids on it a bit more and hopefully getting it on the OUYA store after I get my kickstarter device to test with. Thanks for watching!

    Hey All! Got my APK updated and working on an actual OUYA last night. Here's the link if you wanted to try the game on your OUYA: http://blog.metaphx.com/dls/CreateGameJamFireHoop.apk . The game also works on any devices with a game pad input device.

    Shout out to Marco Williams at Hashbang Games and Timothy Graupmann https://twitter.com/tgraupmann for being kind enough to test my game on their OUYA!
