Hi! My name is Sam Hogan and I’m 14 years old. I just published my first game built with Corona on the Apple App Store and Google Play. It is called Trick Shots inc. It;s a basketball trick shot game with fun unique levels. Here are the links, it would be awesome if you could try it out and tell me what you think!

Nice work! Best of luck with the game.

Looks like you might have a bright future in development ahead of you :slight_smile:

love the concept! :slight_smile:

Very cool!

I had a go at the weekend, it’s quite fun!

My only suggestion thus far would be to increase the hit area for touches on the ball itself. It’s extremely hard to grab the ball to start positioning your shot (with Adult fingers at least :wink: )

Keep it up!

Sam - This is very cool!   Playing on my iPhone 4S.    It’s very fun and addictive.   

My only complaint is that on when a new level loads, it too quickly focuses on the ball without showing where the basket is.    Maybe a birds eye view for a few seconds to give the scene layout?

That aside, very well done.   Congrats!
