Here it is!!

My first ever game. I rocked this bad boy out in about two weeks of work. I know it needs a LOT of work before it's a legitimate game. It's free with iAds right now, and probably will remain free until I am comfortable with it (may always be free, who knows).

I'd absolutely LOVE some feedback (good or bad) and give me suggestions on how to improve the game. I know it needs a lot of work so nothing you say will hurt my feelings.

Also, please click the ads to send me a few pennies ;-)

Thanks everyone!!

    Pretty sure that type of request is against Apple's TOS.

    Good luck on the game though! :)

    lol the icon is the best looking thing about this app
    *runs away and hides*

    I paid a guy to do that. I know it needs some work. That's why I said, it needs some work, LOL.

    What else can I do to improve the game....

    I downloaded it. Here are my suggestions (these are meant constructively):

    1) The game needs a tutorial about how to play. For example, what does the black pot do? What happens when the player is a rock and they touch a rock? I figured it out after a few tries but other players may just give up and delete the game without taking the time.

    2) The left/right buttons seem a bit small. They also look like arrows in a scroll bar. The first time I played, I thought the arrows allowed you to change between the rock, paper, and scissor.

    3) The fonts used are kind of amateurish-looking.

    4) The buttons and text have a rainbow palette but the game has a muted palette (the rock, paper, scissors, black pot, and gray background). I think the game would benefit from a consistent color design/palette (not every color in the rainbow unless the game had that as a central theme).

    5) The rainbow-colored text looks horizontally squished.

    6) The game has iAds, URL links, Game Center, etc. so you obviously have a pro account but it also has the GS logo at the beginning. Is that intentional?

    7) You can use the left/right arrow buttons to scroll the rock/paper/scissors completely off the screen. I think you should constrain it so that it cannot go off-screen.

    8) The Main Menu buttons (New Game, Options, High Scores) are cut-off on the right side of the screen.

    Overall, I think the game has a lot of features but lack of a consistent graphic style keeps the game from looking professional and polished. The left/right button controls hinder the game and I think the core gameplay is too basic (suggestion: add power-ups or other things that will spice up the core gameplay). I hope you find these suggestions helpful.

    Thanks Jeff!

    That's all awesome stuff! I really released it just to show off to my game developer buddies. I've got a lot of things planned for the game, but no one to draw art for it. I did most of the art myself, except for the icon, the rock, the paper, and the scissors. That explains the color patterns, or, lack-there-of.

    I appreciate you taking the time out to write all that down for me! Give it a week or two and look for a major update! ;-)

    Thanks again!
