Jetrats Defense - Hit 100k Downloads


@KenRogoway

Thanks very much for your advice! after read you post we have a better understanding about the market.

Like most of other Corona users, this’s our first work, and we learned a lot from this project, now we believe the situation will be getting better and better. :slight_smile:

Hi thank you for downloaded the game!

Actually, we always want to get some feedback about the instructions, since that was written by us (and we speak chinese) :slight_smile:

Really appreciate you would like to help us, you could send me the copy to jadynut@gmail.com if you checked them over.

Thank you very much again! if you (or anyone) need any help about Chinese, please feel free to drop us a line, we would be happy to help too!

This is a nice game indeed, I think the iphone version will help. Good luck!

On the marketing side, you simply need putting your effort daily and bombing as many review sites as possible in order to gain exposure. Your game is strong enough and deserves attention, no one will be upset.

As for the market and its brother contracting, I agree the latter is the way to make a steady, decent income and keep you afloat while pursuing the big hit. [import]uid: 67641 topic_id: 18277 reply_id: 76995[/import]

I hope they are useful!

Hi Sun.Jiajie

looks great to see such a lot of nice advices.

Anyhow, as I mentioned before, just do not give app.
I have quiet lots of apps in the market and its ALWAYS a surprise how ppl accept and download it.

I had some titles I really thought they will be great, and nobody like em, other apps I did more like a test, people loved.

its really kind a … do 10 apps and 1 will be accepted.

So do whats possible to improve your marketing for that app (for example… the iCon you used does not say anything to me)… and finally keep going and focus on your next project.

Wow :slight_smile: Looks like you are gaining lots of popularity here. Someone did suggest to me to go to other forums and start creating a buzz about your app. You can also try playing around with the prices. You might also want to have someone to correct some of the english sentences on your trailer. Do let me know if you need help on that part.

As you have just started selling the app, don’t be too quick to judge it’s popularity since it might take some time to gain awareness.

Your app certainly looks great. We do hope you will succeed because it will also give a lot of corona developers here some hope that a well-made app does have potential to success. Of course, much will depend on marketing as well.

We will also be launching our app soon so we will check back with you again on what we did on our end. Have a great and successful 2012!! *Thumbs up!!* ??!! [import]uid: 39846 topic_id: 18277 reply_id: 77315[/import]

Do our best on everything we could.
