Re: Gridrunner Android Available for DOWNLOAD !
Donation sent, love the game, just the sort of thing that my Nexus 7 was crying out for.
Are you going to release this on Google Play / Amazon App store etc? Really hope so.
Just a few minor things (played on a Nexus 7 Android 4.1.2) :
Any chance of a option to keep proportional scaling rather than stretch to full screen? It's not overly obvious but the squares in the grid are not quite square.
The back button does not function as expected.
There is an invite to check out your other games on iOS, no problem with that, but it does seem a little odd on an Android device.
Is the inclusion of the C64 & Vic20 versions supposed to be an Easter egg? If not then consider mentioning them on the main menu.
Can't wait to see the rest of your iOS games on android

I think you probably need to have a think about what you can do to help people find Gridrunner Android.
Look at some of the comments in this news piece, a few people saying they've looked for it and can't find it
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013- ... -vita-game
Ultimately it's kind of their fault but is there anything that can be done to help people like this get the game and pay you some cash?

I can't understand why GR++ Android isn't on the front page of the LS website?

Re: Gridrunner Android Available for DOWNLOAD !
Googling for Llamasoft gridrunner android, the first two hits are to the Llamasoft web site and Wiki page and the third links to a site with the direct file link and the site donate page.
Just installed it on my Nexus 4 and it's great.
The installation instructions page has a few typos though.
Edit: Comments left on the article for the people who don't know what Google can do.

Re: Gridrunner Android Available for DOWNLOAD !
Words in bold and brackets are missing. Other bold words need changing:
Edit3:
Edit:Applications created for Android which are not distributed through the Google Play store come in (the) form of (an) "Application Package" a file with a .apk extension.
Fundamentally, you can think at it like (a) ZIP archive file with install instructions in it, you click on it and the system does all the magic.
Edit2:There are two small problems, the first one is that you have to someway load the package inside your device ( typically make it go into your "Download" folder or so ), some web browser maybe can allow you do do it by clicking on it otherwise you may need some sort of File Manager application to do that.
Best as: "What is an untrusted/unknown source and what does it mean?"Why is untrusted/unknown and what it means ?
Edit3:
There's others, but I'll have to post them later, as typing/reading with one blurry eye takes its toll.This tells you "Google guarantees for me I am getting something safe" ( because you passed through all the approvation process of the Google Store ) however the problem is by NOT using the Google Store the developer cannot have this option.

Re: Gridrunner Android Available for DOWNLOAD !
Once I'm back to full vision, I'll add the Android zip file (along with a link to the Donation page) to the Archive.

I -suspect- they checked google play. Hard to tell without asking them. In fact that might be a better idea, ask where they actually looked

Re: Gridrunner Android Available for DOWNLOAD !
I helped them in the comments, no rolling of eyes. 
Will ask to see if they expect all apps in the store.

Re: Gridrunner Android Available for DOWNLOAD !
Got a reply:

I thanked them for their feedback.I did only look on the store for it, you are quite correct.
I don't look for apps in only the Play Store but when an article says "available on iOS and Android" I guess it's an assumption I make
