    Looks Good. I love the subtle color scheme. colorful, but not too bright and distracting.

    Nobody has found a great way of promoting their apps yet, especially for free (but I'm on the case and will let everyone here know if I ever find out). My research so far suggests that the best things to do are have a really good icon and then a great description and screenshots on your App Store page.

    I hope being 'hot' is good for sales!

    Octappus, thanks for the information.. Does the name of the game matters too? I was amazed to see the most pathetic game called "Grab the rope" on number 2 in free game downloads.. It was a big mistake to download it but I have no idea how did it make all the way to the top even though people really criticized it badly..I think some part is luck too..

    Suzy, have you been releasing the updates too.. I have heard that updates matter a lot for increasing the sales..Your gameplay is good I must say and think it needs more of marketing strategy..

    Check this post out for marketing by skotleach:

    thanks, the 1.1 update was released yesterday

    Yes - the name matters, but as far as I can tell, not as much as the icon. I'm guessing (based on nothing but thinking a lot about it) that people are more turned on by images than words.

    I usually say idea + execution.

    I know you might not want to, but is there any chance you could define what "bad" sales are?
  • thomasrichardgamesthomasrichardgames Member Posts: 263
    way past 1,00 downloads for the lite, but under 20 sales for the full

    Id try sending codes to gaming podcasts e.g. gamespot, one life left, eurogamer, sarcasticgamer uk the will read out promo codes for devs, sarcastic gamer have run competitions for promo codes to this kind of thing dont know if it would work but it might get afew more sales
  • thomasrichardgamesthomasrichardgames Member Posts: 263
    thanks for the suggestions i might do that, i was thinking of getting 148 apps to review aswell it but i dont think my apps good enough for them to review it!
  • thomasrichardgamesthomasrichardgames Member Posts: 263

    ^ditto

    Well i hope sales have picked up a lot it seems to be quite a charming well executed game and deserves a lot more than 20 sales for the download version
  • guillefaceguilleface Member Posts: 1,014
    i dont want to be mean or something like that, but when i read your title i was glad for you ,sine your say is on the whats hot section i thought you were making some decent sales, but my question is, with those downloaded numbers is that what it takes to be on the whats so hot section?
  • mangaroomangaroo Member Posts: 419
    i think things picked up after the update was released
  • MammothMammoth Member Posts: 640

    Really only 100/20 downloads after being featured on 'What's hot?'

    This is scaring me a bit. Hope your game sells better with time.

    i bet if the fruit rotated and the game had a few small visual effects to enhance the game a bit for the public..not saying to get messy just some small effects (eg small stars particle emitted when something is done, maybe a glow here or there) and captured by the screenshots..or a link to the video of the gameplay in the app description if that is allowed? because the video is great, perhaps the screenshots didnt capture the charm of the game as well

    oh also, if no one has told you, your icon sucks greatly (sorry!), for some reason people seem to really care about the icon (ive seen it everywhere - requests etc lol) so pay some artist $50 and get yourself a nice icon! that may be the only thing missing to get the ball bouncing (;P) cause the game looks solid and i really hope sales pick up for you

    the icon definitely trumps all other tweaks and im sure will contribute the most change in numbers. Also make sure as many people as possible who see your app page see your gameplay trailer [great timing and choice of clips!] - they will definitely be more inclined to purchased imo.
    If you're not permitted to display it with a direct link to the vid then perhaps set up a temporary free+wizard website like a blog even and put the video on the front page and the link to your site on the description :)
