Way to go Jon!!

Two questions I have been wondering lately if you do not mind:

1) Does Apple notify you in the event they choose your app for N&N?

2) When you all send out e-mails to get your app reviewed, could you please give me tips on how you do it? Are you using HTML e-mails with some flair? Or just text with kind words straight to the point with a promo?

Again, congrats!

read this page, they have a lot of great tips on marketing: http://www.crawlspacegames.com/blog/marketing-your-app-on-a-shoestring-budget/

someone posted it a few weeks ago, but it bears reposting. I followed a lot of tips from that, sent out a press release on prmac.com, (http://prmac.com/release-id-26902.htm). My pre-release requests were more straight to the point. I had links to the games website with screenshots, a link to a youtube promo trailer and the promo code embedded.

Apple does not notify you, but if you use a tracker like AppAnnie, they show a little icon when you are featured

WOW!

That's yours?

Congratz!

I saw it on toucharcade and never tought, it would be a GS game.

We've come a long way I think

Congratulations to you!!! This is so amazing!!

BTW, great link on the marketing strategies Jon.

I can't agree more with the lite version, it's crucial to drive traffic to your paid apps, and yet so many are afraid to put out lite versions.

nice!

Mad congrats!

And, Oh, look. Now D-Capitatrix is on the front page too! Awesome!

Congrats, Jon! I just bought the game last night for my iPad. It's such a well thought out and executed game! The feeling of the astronaut's isolation in space is very convincing and completely draws the player into the game. I hope it deservedly is successful for you!
