Blokstok Cricket Reviewed on Shubz.in
Our game “Blokstok Cricket” was reviewed on Shubz.in – A Gadget Review Site .
The editorial team of Shubz.in described our game in the following words:
Blokstok Cricket is a Cricket game on Google Play – that’s different in a good way!
On the surface it looks like many 2D cricket games on play store. This game’s description says “easy to learn but hard to master”.
And this game with it’s realistic ball-hitting physics that give players many ways of hitting the ball is true to that description.

AndroidOne Anomaly – in All Versions or only in AndroidOne 5.0 ?
So… we talked of “our” AndroidOne anomaly / bug to a friend who’s in Google.
thanks for reporting this. We will look into it and get back to you. However one thing I noticed was that the Android OS versions on the two phones were different – one was 5.0.0 and the Android one was 5.1 That could be the source of the difference but we’ll check.
Our response – it is definitely an AndroidOne anomaly! Blog post on this coming soon…
An AndroidOne Anomaly!
Some of our users have noticed an issue some of our games have faced on phones that use AndroidOne – like Lava Pixel V1- and we have after extensive testing diagnosed that this is not a fault of our game- but an anomaly / bug in AndroidOne build of Android which google distributed on it’s Android One phones.
The bug / abnormal behavior our users have faced is that our games – Tank Shoot 3D, Blokstok Road Race and Bug Smash Kill – all three of which allow a user to watch a user to watch a rewarded video Ad and continue a game that’s got over– get re-started when a user clicks “Watch Video Ad and Continue”.
This problem happens in well known games like “Angry Birds” – and is a limitation / abnormality of Android-one by Google rather than a fault in our games.
You can read more about this bug– and our testing results on how this does not happen in standard android phones:

BlokStok – Street Fighter Madness
On the surface BlokStok looks highly derivative, but where this fighting game wins out is the fantastic production values and finesse that make this one of the more technically sound games from an Indian studio. It looks good and plays even better.
Along with realistic backgrounds, close up moves and a control scheme that makes it easy to play, this seems to be a good entry point for someone new to fighting games. While Delhi-based Darksun Technologies has no release date yet, this is one fighting game we’re looking forward to.
