Obliteration Micro - now in iPhone and amazon app stores!

My game Obliteration, which I rushed to complete for the original iPad launch only to be buried on page 4, is now available in the Android Market.

It's currently in review for the Amazon App Store and for the Kindle Fire.

I also converted it to run on the iPhone / iPod touch, and it works great. That's also in review, hopefully releasing next week.

not to bad for 2 hours worth of work on an old game Maybe this time it'll do better.

Today is a good day for my app. Obliteration Micro hit the AppStore last night for the iPhone, and hit the amazon app store this afternoon.

ugg, just noticed that my release date got screwed up. when I submitted the app I put 1/12 as the release date. it was approved on the 7th. today it was released, with a 1/12 release date in the notes, but it's listed among the 7th. time to contact apple, although they probably won't do anything and I'll have to pull/resubmit the app

yep. I made the game 2 years ago for the iPad release. It got buried on page 4 back then. now I convert it to the iPhone, and it gets buried on page 3. Someone must not want people to play my game.

jonmulcahy

well, apple has been contacted. after how they handled my last issue (http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/24356) I don't have much hope. I'll give them till saturday then pull the app and release it under a different name.

Obliteration is now available on the Kindle Fire as well. It was approved today I think, I never received an email, but I noticed it today when checking it out on amazon. It's browse able in the Kindle App Store as well.

The process was pretty painless, especially after spending 2 solid weeks getting setup when I first started working with Apple.

Did you use iPad screen ratio (w/ black bars on the sides) or had to resize to fit kindle's screen?
How're the sales so far? (Hope it's selling well :-))

jonmulcahy

the game was originally an iPad game. I resized it to fit the Kindle's Screen so it would be a 'universal' Android app and fill the screens of any phone/tablet
