edited November -1 in Announce Your Game!
It's finally out on the App store! I won't bore you with the details, if you take the $0.99 leap I promise you won't regret it!

Man, I miss the rush of releasing an app. I should do this more often :p

And on a side note: Do we not get promo codes anymore? I knew they changed the rules for reviewing after redeeming, but I can't find them at all.

    On a side note, I have a good friend that released an app with the word "Swarm" in it and got a cease-and-desist letter from the company that owns the rights to the word "Swarm." He ignored it and nothing has happened to him. Just be aware that you might need to change the name...

    Ugh. Hopefully I don't encounter that...

    Looks awesome, I will buy it later tonight
    Looks like you went over the 20MB mark by just 0.8MB. You should do a quick update reducing the file size so it's under 20MB as it could give you more sales

    I know! I thought I had it under the limit. Very frustrating.

    Thanks for playing!

    Had a few friends over last night. We downloaded this game and had a blast. It's fun to play!!!

    We ran it 2x on iPad btw.

    Thanks rlehm! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The reviews have been awesome so far, but the download numbers pretty disappointing. I missed the deadline to get featured by one day, so hopefully it will be featured this week!

    Also, Alpha Swarm's first update is submitted! It includes a GameCenter update, an improved touch indicator, and it is now under 20 megs to allow download over the air! Stay tuned for a content update!

    Just picked up a new itunes card, will be purchasing this for sure! Been looking forward to it since you posted the beta test thread!
  • EastboundEastbound Member, BASIC Posts: 1,074
    Thanks a lot DreamLab!

    I had a favorable write up at the AppShack: http://theappshack54.blogspot.com/2011/07/alphaswarm-099jovial-games.html

    The reviews have been so positive surely I'll be seeing increased sales over time. Just gotta keep going. Time to submit the lite version!

    So does that mean i don't get a promo code?
  • XLWolfyXLWolfy Member Posts: 67
    It was pretty cool beta testing...Aside from the loading times i really like it
  • XLWolfyXLWolfy Member Posts: 67
    its just i would not spend HOURS on it but it is a pretty polished game
  • EastboundEastbound Member, BASIC Posts: 1,074
    I'm afraid I don't know which beta tester you were. I sent out an email to everyone that tested about promo codes and they have gotten back to me.

    And a pretty good review on Blamza! http://www.blamza.com/alpha-swarm-limbless-fun-for-the-iphone/

    A sneak peak at an upcoming update, Frostbite Zone! It introduces Ice platforms, explosive gates you must fly through, and missile shields for the baddies.
