edited November -1 in Announce Your Game!
I have just submitted all 6 versions of our new app TapXtreme! The basics are just tap the bubbles and they get smaller and faster. The players overall score keeps adding up over time. The versions are .99 cents for just the basic start at 0 taps one, then $5.00 for the 100,000 taps one, $10.00 for the 200,000 taps one and so on up to 500,000 taps. Is anyone planning on participating? I think the reward for first to 1,000,000 will be an ipad so let me know what you think and please buy the app when it comes out! I will give more info tomorrow probably! POST COMMENTS! www.sethsapps.com/milliontaps for more info.

    I am really interested to see how this works out for you. Different price points for different starting levels is an interesting approach.

    Personally, I am not interested in tapping 1,000,000 bubbles, but that is definitely a neat way to run a contest and drum up some business for yourself!

    I wish you luck!

    I second what Joe says, clever approach to it. Will be interesting to see how the various different price points work

    Cool idea, I think you should really work on gaining some publicity and having a certain reward decided before you release?
  • SethsAppsSethsApps Member, PRO Posts: 328
    Well the reward will more than likely be decided by the number of sales the app gets but Im pretty content on giving an iPad at this point. I may give something more if enough is downloaded. As for publicity it would be great if everyone on here could spread the word and do you have any sites that will really get out the publicity for the app?

    I still think you should have the reward 100% decided and advertised before release as that is likely to entice people to buy, but I guess you should do what you are comfortable with as i guess it is a risk if you only get 10 downloads and have to pay out an iPad :S.

    As for the publicity, there was a post asking about good websites for reviews and somebody posted this: http://www.travisdunn.com/30-review-sites-to-promote-your-iphone-applications-games.

    Okay thanks! I think the prices should be good and @firemaplegames I understand why you dont want to play that long but if it didnt have an ambitious goal what fun would it be? Plus theres an iPad at the end of it so why not?? Hahah

    Anyone planning on buying? If so what version (100K, 200K, ect.)

    No, I didn't mean anything negative by my comment. I do think it is a cool contest!

    You can announce it on Touch Arcade as well. Join their forums and create a thread about the contest. They currently have the largest iPhone/Touch/iPad games website, with hundreds of people reading their forums at any given moment.

    You're much more likely to get honest feedback from the players over there. Plus, those people actually play all of the games, whereas a lot of us are still busy making them!

    Like RH said, I would definitely have the contest laid out and the prizes set in stone, just so people don't feel cheated or get angry.

    Also, I'm not sure if you need to set up any legal stuff, like "only applicable to residents of the United States" or something like that. I'm not sure that you are allowed to give away an iPad to someone from a different country? Or even this country?

    Anyway, I would check into that before you get yourself into a hassle.

    And again, good luck!

    Joe
