Hi to all of my fellow indie dev friends… I am pleased to announce that my first game “Arrows & Sparrows” is launched a couple of days ago, and it is getting great applause from the media outlets like TouchArcade, AndroidRundown, and many more! Honestly, I did not expect such a warm welcome from the media and players for my first game!

Please watch the trailer & backstory here: https://youtu.be/UGtDuoALQa0

If you want a promo code (to purchase levels - sorry, only iOS), please drop me a message at the below TouchArcade Forum. It helps me to gather all the feedback at one place :

I would really appreciate any feedback from all of you more experienced indie devs and critics in the community ! And, thanks to all the indie devs that already gave me a great feedback and help!

Finally… its time to show little gratitude…

To: My Dear CoronaSDK,  Thank you so much for being such an awesome and super easy sdk!   I am really glad I found you ! You are the second best thing that ever happened to me in my life (sorry, cant say first. My wife will probably kill me if I do that :slight_smile:

I’ll post any issues independently as it’s sometimes easier to keep track.

The launch screen (splash) only appears momentarily, but it’s stretched and looks odd.

General comments:

  1. Seeing an ad (two of them) before I even got to see your main screen is annoying. I first thought that was your game initially. I’d suggest a ‘first time’ pass to not show ads.

  2. Privacy policy button on top right is way too small to read on iPhone 6.

  3. Free Feathers screen, icons are offset. The ‘Invite Friends’ icon is off the screen. I realize the right arrow scrolls it, but it looks like I could swipe (and can’t). Being able to will resolve it.

  4. How do I know how many arrows I have left?   It seems that if I miss 2, I might as well restart anyway :slight_smile:

It’s awesome:) thank you for the feedback.  have tested it on iphone5, and the default image looked fine on it. I will test it on iphone6. May be I messed up with the orientation of those images. Reg ads, I am displaying from the 2nd time , not on the first time but I will check that again. You are right… I really need to implement swiping there in the free feathers menu. That will fix the look of that. I will fix the arrow count and privacy policy issues. Thanks a lot for giving me this valuable feedback. If you fingers anything else, please let me know. Thanks again :slight_smile:
