in Announce Your Game!
Hi everyone!

I am a new 2014 GameSalad developer and I absolutely love it!

I have just had my very first EVER game that I have EVER made published to the App Store and I couldn't be happier! It's called Hot Air and the aim of the game is to get the highest score possible without dying.

You use your right thumb to fire and your left thumb to move up and down (you might even be able to do it with one thumb for all you expert multitaskers out there ;) ).

I hope you like it! Please leave me some feedback, good or bad! It all helps! Thank you guys, and thank you GameSalad, for making such an amazing tool!

    Very nice first game!

    A couple of things I'd change: lower the position of the target/shoot button so it doesn't cover the gameplay as much; make the balloon only rise when tapping the left side of the screen and/or disable its rise when you touch the target button; raise the score HUD info so it's less distracting.

    Good game! the harder levels are definitely difficult. I could see myself lasting a long time on Easy though. For some reason my leaderboards were not working but I'm sure it was a connectivity problem. Congrats!

    Cheers, Dylan. In the current version there was leaderboard issues. The update is now in review, which the leaderboards are fixed (they was in adhoc anyway). But I'm glad you like it!

    Just a suggestion, your screenshots on the App Store. I'm assuming you have banner ads at the top of the screen. But I would suggest moving your score and health to the top of the screen for the screenshots. If your still in review you can change the screen shots now.

    The only reason I suggested this. Is because it looks weird with a empty gap at the top of your screenshot. Other looks good best of luck.

    Here are some screenshots of the newest update to the game 1.2.0.

    • Fixed bug that caused score to stick when starting a new game
    • New Enemy sprites
    • New Enemy (Green, 2 shot kill)
    • New ground
    • Improvements to UI

    Description:
    Hot Air is a simple but highly addictive game that you will find hard to put down once you get going. Use your fingers to control the balloon (to move up, touch the left-side of the screen. To move down, release your finger). Sound easy so far? Well... you have some obstacles that will stop you from succeeding, but don't worry, you have a huge gun onboard and a basket full of ammo! Use your right thumb to shoot down anything that gets in your way... And I mean anything! Don't panic, there is a tutorial that will teach you about all this.

    Thank you everyone for your kind words and support. You can download Hot Air from the App Store:
    https://www.itunes.apple.com/app/hot-air/id816956868?mt=8

    On it's way to Amazon AppStore & Windows Store.

    Keep up to date with Hot Air and other games I am working on at:

    Thank you :)
