edited November -1 in Announce Your Game!
I wanted to see how long it would take me to add to a simple template enough to make a full game. In this case, as for my simple templates, I used the FREE, and great, Gobtron Physics Template by Jayleedesigns. It took me about 4 hours to change it up enough until I had a game worth 99 cents ready. I wanted to keep the gameplay similar, yet, make it better and worth 99 cents.

The features I added:

-4 types of food with a bonus burger (5th) to get more points
-If you eat the lettuce you die immediately
-5 rounds, initiated if you score above a certain value in the previous round
-A store with 6 power ups to add to the basic gameplay

Power ups:

-x2 Makes the selector 2x as big
-x3 Makes the selector 3x as big
-+15 seconds to the clock
-+30 seconds to the clock
-2x as many bonus burgers
-1/2 the amount of lettuce (fatal)

Description

Food Frenzy is a fun, exciting arcade style game which will give you hours of fun to try to get the highest score possible. It includes 5 challenging rounds that are hard to complete. It also features a store with 6 fun power-ups to add to the game-play. Rack up points and try to stock up on power ups to try to launch you to the next round. You get 120 seconds to complete each round (unless you add more time with a power-up). In each round, you must eat as much junk food as possible. But make sure you don’t eat the lettuce or the game is instantly over.

    I have had pretty good sales lately. It started out with 30, went down to 0 after 4 days, so I set it free for about a week and it went up to 9 in kids games in Taiwan. Then I set it back to paid and sold around 110 copies the next day! Then it went back down to 0 for the next couple days, and over the past 2 weeks, it has been consistently rising to about 10 sales per day and it has stuck around 7-12 sales per day over the last 5-6 days!

    Total around 160 downloads.

    Pretty good for 4 hours and a free template to start with...

    I have quite a few paid templates so lets see what those make...

    Also, it made 20,000 downloads in 2 days it was free. I thought I'd get about 100 free downloads total and only about 25 paid downloads when I first finished the game.
    The lowest rank it got is #4 highest grossing in Taiwan in kids games: http://www.appannie.com/top/iphone/taiwan/games/kids/?date=2011-09-13
