Hey everyone, thanks for your interest in this post.

So what is Tiny Cannon! all about? Tiny Cannon! is a mix of Peggle, Pachinko, and Angry Birds with a little Super Mario World 3 level design thrown in!

Enjoy!

I really like this concept. I have thought about doing something like this before. I will definitely be looking at this when it is on the App Store. Congrats and good luck with sales!

When are you expecting to release it?

marc_greiff

Hey thanks Blackbird. Well, I will be submitting on Wednesday, so if all goes well hopefully another week or so?

I've noticed in the app store that there really aren't to many Peggle like games...at least ones that are not pure clones of Peggle its self. So,rather then being another Peggle clone I came up with a different take on it and one that I think really stands apart.

Hopefully I can create some promo codes as well so the gs community can give it a go for free.

I really love this game idea, it seems really genuine and unique. I think games like this should be landing N&N on the App Store. Can't wait to try it out!

So, in lieu of finally releasing my game to the app store, does anyone have any recommendations regarding what day of the week is most beneficial for a game release? I've heard mixed opinions for THURSDAY, FRIDAY, and SATURDAY.

If anyone has any experience or thoughts, I would love to hear it.

Thursday is considered best by almost every dev. I'm not sure why--something to do with the way Apple calculates the "What's Hot" and other sections of the App Store.

So--go with Thursday.

This game looks awesome!
Good luck with sales, you won't need it!

marc_greiff

Thanks for the quick replay jb15, so it looks like I'll be going with Thursday then. Just out of curiosity, is there a day of the week NOT to publish on?

...And thanks Rumi! But I'm still worried about sales as this is my first game/app. I wish there was a thread or gamesalad "stats" page with a breakdown of what games made how much. Oh well

marc_greiff

I plan on posting my sales stats so other gamesaladers have a reference.

Okay, I`m FINALLY in the app store!
check my Tiny Cannon Promo code thread!

So, off to a good start I think. For the past week I've held a feature spot in the Canadian, Japanese, and Italian app stores under New-Action/Arcade.
