About this app

Energy Tank is free battery widget that is themed to look like classic, retro video game health / energy bars. Themes are based on classic 8-bit and 16-bit video games.

Currently available themes include:
- Justin Bailey (8-bit)
- Justin Bailey (16-bit)
- Blue Bomber (8-bit)
- Blue Bomber (16-bit)
- Hero of Light (8-bit)
- Hero of Light (16-bit)
- and many more!

Note: If the widget does not show up, first try launching the "Energy Tank" icon from the "Apps" tab of the App Launcher. Then look for it in "Widgets".

How to use Energy Tank:
- Long-press on the home screen and select "Widget" then select the "Energy Tank" widget.
- On some versions of Android look for the "Widget" tab in the App Launcher.
- Find the "Energy Tank" widget and long-press to drag it to your home screen.
- The preferences will open up when you add a new widget. Select the theme you want here and press the back button to apply the changes.
- You can add multiple widgets and each can have its own preferences at the same time.

Accessing Preferences of Existing Widgets:
- Short-press on a widget to view / modify its preferences.

Resizing the Widget:
- Resizing of the widget works on Android 4.x and may not work in older versions of Android. That is a shortcoming of the Android API.
- Long-press on the widget to adjust the widget size.
- If you are running Android 4.0.4 or earlier short-press to access preferences and adjust the "Render Size" to the optimal appearance on your particular device.

Ratings and reviews

This app works very very well. One complaint I have is that on one of the app page photos it shows that you can have it on the lock screen. Not possible. Another complaint is that the Super Metroid one doesn't show battery percentage. It still shows in game units. Still a 5 star review.

I don't think the math is right on this. For example, i have it set to 16 bit Justin Bailey style (14 tanks). So, that's 1500 energy. 1500 ÷ 100 = 15 energy per percent point. right now, i am at 96% battery, which should be (1500-(15*4)) so, i should be at 1440 energy (14 energy tanks full plus 40 energy). BUT what the widget is showing is 13 energy tanks full plus 39 energy (1339).

It is amazing!! The super metroid version is great! It reminds me of my past. Very well done, also for those of you who have android phones and are having trouble getting it to stay, once you are done customizing it, press the back button/arrow/triangle. Thats what i did.
