    Looks like a ton of fun! The Art is really great, and I love how you created variations of the machine! The logo is pretty sweet, by the way. Do you mind sharing the name of the font you used? It reminds me of the old GaiaOnline logo :)

    Congrats with releasing your latest title, and I wish you luck with sales!

    Hey thanks! :) I really appreciate the feedback. I think the fonts were 'Eurostile bold extended' for the word Pachinko and 'Hand of Sean' for Heaven.

    Hey guys, Pachinko Heaven update (1.1) is now available. Fixed some bugs, added in-game Japanese and Chinese language options (my 2 biggest markets after US), changed the hourly bonus to a random chance, and of course fixed up my keywords and added more localizations. Hopefully that should help to increase downloads! Check it out, it's free for iPad:

    Downloaded this - as I'm at the beginning of my GS journey, its nice to download some polished games and see what can be done.

    I like it overall, though Pachinko isnt my thing. Can I suggest a couple of things from my initial quick play?

    1) The artwork on the front end is excellent as is the logo, but not having any music when the game loads loses a lot of the atmosphere you have built up with the look of the game. Something oriental with arcade noises in the background etc? Get the atmosphere building like you are in a Japanese arcade.

    2) The bonus notifier mid game is really jarring! To pause and dim the game just to tell you that you are levelling up is a mistake IMO. Would be better with something more inline with the game - maybe it slides in from the side, pauses in the middle and slides off again with a fanfare?

    So far, they are my only observations.... ooops, though I have just had a hard crash to a blue screen?

    Hope you dont mind my comments! As I say, apart from that, I like it!
  • Asobu_GamesAsobu_Games PRO Posts: 261
    Hey @pbb76 thanks so much for downloading my game and leaving feedback! It's much appreciated.

    I especially like your first point, I agree that some music would really bring up the atmosphere at the start so I'll look at adding some intro music to a future update.

    As for the 2nd point, I see what you mean, it could probably be a bit less jarring. I actually tried just showing the level up more like you mentioned but it really got lost when you were playing lots of balls at once. There is potentially so much happening that people would miss that they leveled up and got a bonus. I might look at a less invasive way of showing this though without actually pausing the game, thanks.

    Ah and thanks for the tip about the crash, that's no good, I'll look into that asap.

    Cheers :)
  • pbb76pbb76 Member Posts: 12
    Cool. If it helps, the crash was (if I recall) when trying to load the bonus chance game mid play. Just got stuck with the blue gradient background loaded and that's it.
  • Asobu_GamesAsobu_Games PRO Posts: 261
    Cool, yep I think I have worked out what's going on. I'll be updating a new version asap, hopefully tonight. It's just a shame that it takes a few days to get approved! Oh well I wanted to update my keywords again anyway.

    Thanks again mate! :)
