Glow Hockey on the Kindle Fire – Version 1.2.5

Description:

Found a minor bug with the Free version of Glow Hockey on the Kindle Fire.

It is a crash.  I found that it is very easy to reproduce on my Kindle Fire.

This crash is easier to show than to describe, so please take a look at the attached screenshots.  I’ll also describe the crash in words.

Here are the basics of the crash: 

After entering into gameplay, if you quickly pause the game, then toggle options in pause menu, then quit the game, the game will crash.

I have gotten it to continually crash on an error message that says:

“The application Glow Hockey (process com.natenai.glowhockeyamazon) has stopped unexpectedly.  Please try again.”

Steps to reproduce the crash:

1.     Launch the free version of Glow Hockey on a Kindle Fire (version 1.2.5)

2.     Select “CONTINUE FREE VERSION”

3.     Select “PLAY”

4.     Select any difficulty

5.     Immediately pause the game

6.     Toggle “SOUNDS” (or vibration or particles options) either off or on

7.     Select “QUIT”

Result:  On a Kindle Fire, pausing Glow Hockey, toggling pause menu options, then quitting the game crashes the app

Expected:  On a Kindle Fire, pausing Glow Hockey, toggling pause menu options, then quitting the game, should not crash the app

Please Note:  I originally found this crash while my Kindle Fire was NOT conntected to the internet.  It also reproduce while connected to the internet.  I was the guy who wrote this functional bug about the iPhone app some years ago.  You can also watch a video of the crash.

Select "PLAY"

Select any difficulty level, head directly into gameplay...

Pause the game.  From the pause menu, change any settings...

Change a setting like "PARTICLES" and then select "QUIT"

The app will crash.  This happens to me 100 percent of the time.
