First Corona game published!

Hi all

We just got our first Corona game published across all platforms - the final approval came in today. It was very painless - a few weeks of development evenings and weekends while we learned lua and Corona and the upload to the various app stores.

Anyway, it’s called Water Balloon Drop - Golden Gate Drop and is a remake of this flash game:http://www.3djoe.net/entertainment/games/wbd_5/index.html
URLs for download are below - I could throw a limited number of download codes in for iOS in exchange for positive reviews if anyone is interested.

Cheers

Mike

By the way, anyone who gets a promo code is blocked from leaving reviews in the Apple iTunes store. [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 23715 reply_id: 95348[/import]

I wouldn’t mind grabbing a promo code; it looks like a neat little game from the screenshots. I like your art as well, it’s strong :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 23715 reply_id: 95368[/import]

People who receive promo codes can leave reviews again now. Not sure why Apple keep changing their mind about this.

I give away a few codes last week to people who had the new iPad and asked them to send me screenshots etc…

When the update had gone through and all was fixed, I then asked them for a review and 2 left reviews without problem.

I too became a corona developer a couple a months ago. I was using the trailer version of corona. I am ready to test and publish one of my app on a real IOS device. Can someone please e-mail me the links to how to do this to timbojill@gmail.com. [import]uid: 6134 topic_id: 23715 reply_id: 96125[/import]

Romeo, there’s three threads stickied at the top of Device Builds sub-form about this.
