Bubble Ball- My first game

rob.ert

Hey guys, this is my first game ever. Bubble Ball is a fun physics puzzle game with 21 fun levels. It was a game I started in Gamesalad, but finished in Corona. (I hope I don't get in trouble for posting this...) Here's a link to it:

Please rate or leave a review, but don't be too harsh, I'm only 14 and this is my first game, but good feedback is always welcome.

It's looks like a really good game, no joke. The only thing I didn't like was that massive stop button. You could probably make it a little smaller. =P

Wow! I'm 14 also and this looks much better than my first app.

Wow, didn't realize there were so many 14 year olds! Thanks for the comments!

rob.ert

Is your game really made using gamesalad? Why there is no gamesalad intro? And how did you added that alert boxes?

This game is made with Corona, a coding engine.

Sorry. I didnt read the full post... i know corona. Its nice... but i think this game could have been done on gamesalad...

rob.ert

@sabaterwb, I actually started it in Gamesalad, but when they introduced GS Direct, I went to Corona, and just decided to finish it in there. And Gamesalad doesn't have stuff like custom physics shapes, so I would have had to use just rectangle and circle pieces. And, yes it doesn't have an annoying splash screen and I can use alerts. Thanks @CowTechMan, glad you like it.

Wow man! That's amazing! You should put iAds in there.

How many downloads have you been getting?

rob.ert

I'm planning on releasing an update later on with more levels that you can buy (in app purchases), and i've gotten just over a million.

Weswog

Nice
did you put iads in it? or is it just free either way congrats
EDIT: Just saw artonskyblue and your post so yeah definitely get iads in your game

Cheers, Weswog

Thats really awesome, wish you the best of luck. I really wish it could have been made with GS though
How did you get started with corona?

rob.ert

I had looked at it before, but when GS introduced Direct, i went to Corona for good. Lua is really easy to learn, and it's just so fast! No gs splash screen or load time between scenes. I do miss some of the drag and drop ease, though.

RH

wow, that's amazing! Congrats! Hope my first game will have even a fraction of the success you have had. And yep, I'd stick some iAds in there if I were you :P

rob.ert

Thanks, RH! I wasn't expecting it to do nearly as well as it has. Good luck with your game!

BramHoddssd

wait that one got 2 top paid right?
