Secret Admirer

Secret Admirer is an app created with GameSalad. The idea is that the app can be gifted as a virtual greeting card. With Valentine's Day approaching, I felt that I should create something for the romantic season. I think I succeed. I think this is a well-built app.
With the soft intro music, floating hearts and excessive use of the color pink, the app is incredibly girlie. It's a significant change of pace from what I usually make. You can see screenshots at Touch Arcade...

The app has three games, a slide-puzzle, a block breaker and a pinball game. I especially like the last one. It has three flippers, cool sound effects and multiball.
Not two balls... not three balls... UNLIMITED MULTI-BALL. If you can keep hitting that left lane, more balls will enter the field. Well, the limit is your skill and the strength of the hardware. I didn't notice a drop in FPS. I dropped the pinballs well before that was an issue.
So basically, you can gift this app as an ice-breaker. Perhaps there's someone you really like and you want a special way to show that you care. If so, this app could be just what you're looking for. If you're already in love, this app might still be useful for you. It can be a nice Valentine's Day gift.
The app is currently in review.

Do you want a promo code? Do you want to send an early Valentine's Day gift to your sweet heart?
I'm planning to give out promo codes today. You can just contact me here...

Even if you're not in love, I think that the pinball game is fun
As suspected, they're featuring Valentine's Day apps. However, the wording is pretty telling...
Apps for Surviving Valentine's Day
What?! That's not very romantic sounding. You don't survive Valentine's Day, you enjoy it. Even if you're single, Valentine's Day creates opportunities to meet someone special.
I made a very nice app and it did poorly. Perhaps my next app should be...
Angry Farting Zombies that Hate Fruit and Ropes
Not sure how Valentine's apps will do in general, and I try to steer away from making them, as they only last so long before fizzling out.
Sorry to hear about the lack of love, I'll email and request a promo!
@Photics: And YES, I am well over the age of 13, to answer your question
Maybe Angry Farting Zombies could be like a collaborative volunteer project by members of this community.
I think it would be embarrassing though. Heh, I don't want to make such apps.
Here are some links...

Again sorry Photics to not offer you any sweet lovin' in this thread. I think the first reply on touch arcade kinda summed it up for me as well. Although the puns on the level backgrounds made me chuckle a lot.
