I just checked. It says it costs $0.99 to download.

I also just checked iTunes Connect. You can only change the price in day increments. I hope this wasn't a cheap scam to trick people into unwittingly buying your app. That would be pretty low.

yeah it sometimes takes a couple hours to update in itunes connect just so you know.

so if you plan on setting it back paid an hour after when you set it to free chances are it will never apear free

youll need to wait till you see the change in all the stores and then time out an hour from there

Never heard of an app being free for a hour only, let us know how it goes

deaddirtyd

Sorry, I just changed it hopefully it'll show free soon

I'm guess he's trying to circumvent the new no promo code review policy by give it free for just a bit.

scitunes

Just to know about and how to.

I still don´t have an app in the market.

But, to change from a paid app to a free one and them go back to paid, one would have to perform two updates changing free/pais status, is this how it works?

Thanks John, I'll definitely let you know how it's going, i'll leave the app free for a day or so. I'm just really keen to hear what you all think. the forums have been a great help!

I downloaded it and played it. The graphics are really nice and the music fits well. There are a lot of cool gameplay elements in there that take it beyond your average runner.

Here are some things I think need work:

1) Your title in the upper left corner of the Main Menu is spelled "Racoon Rampage". On the App Store, it's "Raccoon Rampage". Both are acceptable spellings but they should match.

2) I think you should add like a 3-level grading system for each level (like Angry Birds/Cut the Rope). You could base it on how many stars you collect for the level. That would add replay value. I went through almost half the game already but there's little incentive to replay any previous level.

3) To me, it feels like the raccoon is too far forward. With him locked at the middle of the screen, there's very little time to see or react to what's coming (although this may be somewhat intentional). It felt like a lot of blind leaps of faith where I would just jump because I had no idea what else to do or what I was trying to land on and where it was.

4) I think there should be more sound effects (like a sproing sound when you bounce off the rubber things or maybe the raccoon says things when you do something cool).

Hope that's helpful for you and good luck with your sales! The game has a lot of potential.

Thanks so much Jeff, I agree with you on most of those points and finally just found out how to control camera properly, so I'll most definitely get onto those for the update! Thanks so much for the input, I really appreciate it
