Well...It's been a personal goal of mine to get my first game Rodent Rage on the main page of games in New & Noteworthy, and I just saw that it's finally there.

So stoked.

    Nice man! Very nice! I think my "Dr. Approved" 5-star rating is what helped it get there!

    Hmm..10 years of industry experience as a graphic designer, 3 months of hard work on this game (my first), promoting the heck out of it on a very limited budget any way you could think of, and most importantly being a passionate gamer since I was a Fetus. :D

    LOL yeah I purposely made them not so attractive. I wanted to add some humour to it as I felt that was lacking on the Store.

    Basically, share with the class how you got on the front page so we can all do it.

    ;)

    QS :D

    I think it all started with a major Publisher wanting to publish it. I declined as it made me feel that it had potential, so I was pretty persistent with emailing blogs, twitter, facebook, youtube, flickr even...working with promo code testers and valuing their feedback..Just anything that is low cost. I did spend $100 with Admob 2 days, that went REALLY fast.

    I honestly don't care how much it makes, it's getting there that is so rewarding for me.

    Oh and also submit your game to The Game Trail, great vehicle for game trailers on the iphone.

    Oh I thought it was based soley on sales?

    DL - I've got a new game I'll probably show a trailer for this weekend. :)
    I will probably take the RR template and make a new game of it tho.

    Yeah, I'm not exactly sure how it all works, but I think to keep it fair they should give everyone a shot. If that's not the case, then I hope your sales increase enough to bring it up higher on the list.
  • TouchTiltGamesTouchTiltGames Member Posts: 1,162
    Every countries store is different it seems. Here in Canada I'm in Featured and Popularity, In US I'm not on the board yet but seems like Featured or New rotates based on date where Popularity is a given.

    We'll see...

    an update I submitted finally went live today, good timing. And it was purely for canceling a bomb before it explodes if u make a mistake.

    I love this game. The rodents crack me up.
