BlockCraft - Promo Codes

Hi everyone! I am pleased to announce the release of "BlockCraft". One of the big challenges in making this game was the randomly generated terrain. Check it out!

I used WLLF6WAJNNTM. Will post back here once played.

Cancel that. Not for iPhone. Lol. Code is still valid.

It looks pretty good (although the concept could have been a little more unique :P)

You have a pretty impressive collection on the app store, how have sales been?

I played the game on my ipad and I am not impressed... The screens made me think of a game similar to 'Terraria' but the controls take away the fun completely... It feels very unresponsive, random and clunky, crashed twice upon restart - which happened in the middle of the night with heaps of enemies on the screen while building the level (leaving you little to no chance)...

From the art point of view the game is a perfect example of inconsistent game art.
- The icon with the text pasted looks cluttered...
- The buttons on the main screen look completely different from anything else in the game (eg. they use shine effects that appear nowhere else in the game)
- The sound on/off button looks like a last minute addition and doesn't match the screen or UI
- The controls ingame stand out with their bright colours but are nothing like the exit or edit button
- The character and enemies look too detailed for the otherwise plain level art

I think you have a game with some good potential but it needs a good polish and fine tuning.
Good luck with the game.

I love the fact that you give HONEST and great constructive criticism !! I think Im going to personally email you my game before I publish it !! :-)

@David - I have been doing games and indie games for 20+ years and I am just too old to bullshit around... I prefer honest feedback myself and I hope that people asking for feedback see things in a similar way... I might be blunt and brutal in my views but I believe those are more helpful than a "Looks good." comment... I am looking forward to your game...

@Sprite Attack, Thanks for your feedback. I will definitely take all of that into consideration for my update.

@BackUpandDown, BlockCraft is at #171 on the paid strategy games chart! You asked about sales of my collection. I am happy with the sales from my other games as well. About 150 downloads per week total.

Good job! Now you just need to focus on releasing some updates.

Why, when I click on "BlockCraft Support" do I go to Congregation Beth-Isreal's page?

mikelowe

DrGlickert, Because my server had problem and I needed to take it down temporarily. It will be back up soon. I just had to redirect it for a bit.

Hi Guys! I'm now at #89 in top paid strategy games. Trying to make it to top 50 which I have never done before!
