★★★ d-capitatrix DESKTOP NEW AND NOTEWORTHY ★★★

gamesmold

Hi everyone,

I woke up this morning to find d-capitatrix featured in New and Noteworthy on the front page of the Mac App Store!
http://itunes.apple.com/app/d-capitatrix/id431581815?mt=12

iPad version is still to be approved (hopefully only a matter of days).
And, by the way, for the iPhone version there is an update on the way that will improve the orientation switching when tilted by more than 90 degrees.
But at least on the Mac version, it is clear right from the start that one can't turn the playing field upside down... :-)
Instead, try to move your head upwards in "Portal" style...

Cheers,
Thomas

Ohh I've been tilting my iMac like a fool!... kidding. Glad to hear iphone improvement coming and great news you got on N&N home page.

Can someone pls check and see if 'Repeeto' is anywhere to be seen on front or games page in USA or UK. It been on there for 10 days and not one single sale!! really sad and comletely different story to my ipad and iphone version.

I'm away from my mac so can't check if theyve picked up on it. - sorry to hijack!

Thanks ApplaudApps! Sorry, the only place on the MAS where I could find Repeeto was Games->Puzzle->All. But maybe it gets featured next week? Cart Cow had been waiting 3 weeks till they started featuring it.

Cool, d-capitatrix has just received a great feature article at App Store Arcade!
Rated "SUPER" (9 out of 10): "d-captitatrix offers the best physics puzzler that you can find on the Mac App Store. The levels are craftily designed and will challenge your timing and logic skills." http://www.appstorearcade.com/?p=1244

Wow.

How chuffed are you feeling?? That's a great review and well deserved.

Thanks for checking on my game (or its absence I should say).. but its reassuring to know they sometimes take weeks. I'm not sure anything will happend with it on MAS but since it was N&N, what's hot, staff favourite and what we're playing on the App Store I was hoping...

How have you found sales on MAS compared to the App Store? I've got the feeling that downloads are nowhere near as high in the top 100 charts?

gamesmold

Thanks a lot! Yeah, pretty chuffed... )

Right, they are much lower. With Cart Cow I was on place 3 in the US games charts with around 400 sales per day...

Cool!! I just beat the game, it's great! More levels coming soon? Please

I've seen the game in the front page for a couple of days now, and I was wondering how are the sales going since you were featured in the front page?

Not as good as with Cart Cow. d-capitatrix makes around 50 sales per day, while Cart Cow had reached 400 per day (and still does quite well).

But now Apple has asked me for artworks to promote d-capitatrix, so here's hoping they will feature it with some kind of banner ad...

gamesmold

Well, at least they gave it a small mini-banner on the games page.
But, again, it's the one on the far right, so you have to expand the App Store window to see it...
