Hello, fellow Coronians!
My game has been approved and will be on sale very shortly (in like 3 hours!)

It’s an action game for all ages.
Check out the official website for images and videos.

Congratulations! I love the background image and the moving dark clouds. You mentioned something about beta testing in your site. May I ask how you carried out the beta testing phase? Was it tested by friends or by complete strangers? [import]uid: 13507 topic_id: 13983 reply_id: 51534[/import]

Hello,

Yeah, I used family and friends mostly just because I had such a hard time with TestFlight and couldn’t get that to work. I will try the forum next time to mix people up though. [import]uid: 39031 topic_id: 13983 reply_id: 51592[/import]

Ok, cool. Why do you need TestFlight? What can you do with it? [import]uid: 13507 topic_id: 13983 reply_id: 51616[/import]

TestFlight streamlines the process of distributing your app to testers. It’s just a matter of clicking on a link and it will install an app, compared to sending out binaries to each person and have them download the file and load it into each phone using iTunes and a cable which is pain. For some reason, all my testers were having a problem of not being able to install. [import]uid: 39031 topic_id: 13983 reply_id: 51618[/import]

Thanks for explaining how it works! I might try it with my next game. I’ll download and rate your game :wink: [import]uid: 13507 topic_id: 13983 reply_id: 51750[/import]

It’s a nice and even addicting little game! May I suggest some improvements:

  • the background is simply gorgeous, but still it would be nice to have some variety. For example change of background every ten levels would be refreshing. Same goes for music.
  • the background music is cute and goes well with the story. Personally I’d enjoy more moodier music, but I’m guessing you are targeting a younger audience.
  • very responsive touch controls, combos are nice, cute special items [import]uid: 13507 topic_id: 13983 reply_id: 51753[/import]

poligonbag, thanks for the great ideas!
I actually like the changing background idea so I will be implementing that :slight_smile:
Music was very tough to choose but I will search to see if I can mix things in for that as well.
Oh, and thanks for the purchase :wink: [import]uid: 39031 topic_id: 13983 reply_id: 51754[/import]

(its really hard to find a good track) [import]uid: 86598 topic_id: 13983 reply_id: 53744[/import]

Yeah, it’s difficult to find good soundtracks.
I got mine from melodyloops.com. [import]uid: 39031 topic_id: 13983 reply_id: 53775[/import]
