Hey,

I would like to show you my first mobile application called Quiz for Dota 2 which is available for Android & iOS devices. It's (as the name suggests) a Quiz application based on content from Dota 2 world. I know what you are thinking - yet another quiz game. Yup, that's right, but IMHO it's the only one which can be used as a real break during matches and bring some fun :)

The application is totally free and it's about answering presented questions about items, heroes and skills. You gain points for good answers and for bad one you loose a life - 3 mistakes and you are out (from the game not the life). It seems easy at the beginning, but after some levels available time for valid answer is getting so low, that it's almost impossible to pick correctly (if not - correct me, I'll make it even harder). Currently following modes (types) are supported:
    » Skill hero - guess which hero is using presented ability
    » Hero skills - pick all skills which can be used by hero
    » Attack type - choose if hero is using melee or range type of base attack
    » Item price - pick the right price which is needed to buy this item
    » Item recipe - remind yourself all components which needs to be used to craft the item
    » Hero name - choose the hero's name

Links to store:
Android Play Store
iOS Store


Ohhh, and the last thing - you are competing with the other players by representing your country (by picking the flag) and platform in the online leaderboard.

Let me know what do you think about the game. Any feedback is welcome and would be appreciated, so I could improve the application in near future (days). If you find anything suspicious, have any idea for new feature, or the app works slow for you - let me know I'll do my best to fix that!

The first thing you need to do is to call the characters in dota "heroes", not "champions" ...

Thanks, I've screwed the description here, in game you will see the `hero` word instead of `champion` one. But thanks for the watchfulness :)

It's been a long time since last update, but it has finally landed. Here is small list of the changes:

- Add hardcore mode for most experienced players
- Hardcore mode has it's own leaderboard
- Shop where you can buy extra lives and skip question coins (only usable in standard mode)
- The UI has been re-worked
- Improve performance for older Android devices (below Android 5.x)
- Update game content to the latest Dota 2 version

Hope you won't find any bugs :)

Additionally I would like to translate the game from English into various languages and I need your help in that. I'm a Polish native speaker, so I was able to translate the app into Polish language, but I don't feel strong enough to make any other translations (my German and Russian are on very basic level). Currently I'm looking for native speakers of the following languages:

- German
- Spanish (finished)
- Portuguese (finished)
- French (finished)
- Dutch (finished)
- Turkish

Making the translation is as easy as modify single file which I've uploaded here http://www.megafileupload.com/knh1/moba_english.json.

For example:
Original:
{
"Play": "Play",
"Hardcore mode": "Hardcore mode",
}

Translated to Polish:
{
"Play": "Graj",
"Hardcore mode": "Tryb twardziela",
}

The left side remains unchanged and the right side is translated into desired language. I of course don't want you to make it for free as I respect your time, so I can offer 10$ on your paypal account per translation. Making the translation takes about 40-60 minutes. The translations does not have to be 1:1, as it's more important for me that it fits the context of the Quiz (like the achievement names which can be invented by your imagination - I did same in the Polish version).

If you are interested:
- PM me here
- mail me at puppy.box[at]outlook.com
with details to what language can you make the translation, so I will confirm that nobody else is working on it and you can start the work.

PS. If you are native speaker of any other language (Russian, Czech, Hungarian ...) let me know so I'll reach you when I got more money to pay for the translations.

PS2. If you don't want any money for the translations I'll put your name/nickname/email in the "Authors" section of the game :) Just let me know what should it be.

The game just got updated to the version 2.0. Big thanks to @ChiChi who helped me translating the game to Portuguese, Spanish & Dutch! :)

Guys, how do you like it? Would you improve or change anything in it?
