The more advanced and ambitious Android game development is resulting into the close to reality games with supreme graphics and epic gameplay. But it has also made game bulkier and heavier taking up the size from 3GB to 9GB. It really becomes cumbersome to keep it in your system. Besides, it also takes time and extra efforts when it needs to be transported from one device to another. Thus, it becomes a need to compress it and manage it in a reasonable size.

The process of compression is known as rip; which stands for the ripping out unnecessary things. As we are talking in the context of the game, this unrequired material may be cut scenes, sounds and subtitles of foreign languages or the introductory video of the game, as you know what the game is all about, you might not need it.

One such tool which can assist you in cutting short the game size is Oodle Data Compression. The most striking feature of this tool is its ability of balancing. The common problem is, when you want high compression, it takes too much time as algorithms designed for such compressions are slow. On the other hand, if you want fast decompression, the quality of compression gets affected. But, Oodle has been able to find a golden mean with quick compression and swift decompression without compromising the quality.

It is born for the gaming industry. Most of the compressors perform testing on text databases or html which has limited importance in the game testing, but Oodle compresses 3d geometry, animations, and level data as well. Besides, it offers complete customizability, as Oodle has multiple compressors and you can choose any one which suits best to your game's requirements. OodleLZNIB is considerably speedy for decoding, but take time to encode. But this is helpful in offline compression. The small sliding window of OodleLZH makes it possible to use it on the SPU or locked in L2 cache. OodleLZHLW gives the highest compression among three as far as size is concerned. The good thing is if one compressor fails to give the desired result, the other will come into the picture to fulfill the task.

Another USP of this tool is simple functionality. The entire compression and decompression of this tool can run by just one function call. The single compression and decompression thread can run on multiple cores and Oodle performs more speedily with the increased number of cores.
