Roping Rob frontpage review on toucharcade.com

wehaveapp.com

Hi everyone!

Just got informed by HoneyTribeStudios that our App got featured on the toucharcade frontpage. That's just incredible.

Yeah just saw that, congrats man, really cool that a GameSalad game got reviewed. Hopefully sales will follow.

"This game is made using GameSalad, which often leads to a couple of knee-jerk negative comments, but it's best to judge a game based on it's own merits, regardless of which tools are used to develop it. Who cares how a game is made, providing it's challenging and fun. And this game is both of those things. "

This is awesome stuff overall, but the sentence above caught my attention, because:

*GameSalad games now have a small chance of being featured on TA - whereas before, GS games were ignored. Nice!

*It reinforces the mantra some people still deny - it's not the SDK, it's the person behind the SDK that matters.

*You made, in their words, a 'fun and challenging' game. Great job! I hope it does well for you, and reinforces not only that you can do this *right now* using the standard 'free' version of GS, but also that the 'limits' really don't matter that much!

I wish you the best with it, and congrats on the game and the exposure!

Congrats man. I watched your video the other day and I must say it looked extremely fun. I would expect the TA article to help out a lot.

If you send out any review requests or anything be sure to include a link to that article.

That's nice to see! Maybe one day the reviewers over there won't have to prefix the "Made with GameSalad" with "negative comments".

Congratulations! Don't pay any attention to people that make ignorant statements about Gamesalad. Anyone that makes blanket statements like that in general has issues.

Great work, you should be very proud!

Hope this means more sales to you!
Also wrote a review on a blog I just started http://taptouchtech.tk for you ! But it just started so it's not getting any traffic but why not?

It's cool to be reviewed on your blog. Although it's small doesn't mean anything. Yesterday I only dreamed of getting featured on toucharcade.com and three months ago I only dreamed of finishing and publishing an app. I still can't believe it.

I think Gamesalad offers another approach then 'classical' programming. This is why man people refuse to accept it. And in my opinion it's a great way for everyone to experiment with it and get into 'programming' at all.

Thank you guys. Appreciate it a lot.

Nice post on the toucharcade's forum, photics ^^

Congrats guys!
I knew from the beginning your game had potential, but a toucharcade review in the first week - of your first app! - that is really amazing.
And now N&N in US Games... Wow...

Keep going!
