depends on which category and which store.

top grossing of 'all apps' overall in the US store at #102 would be huge.

I can't see it. Which country store are you in?

Best way to tell is to sign up with applyzer.com and pay the 1 euro for hourly stats for the app, then you get a proper picture of what it's doing. The free version of applyzer is ok but like all the app monitoring sites it only updates once a day.

Riffel

You are right its in Argentina! im in 8th in top paid adventures and and 85 in top paid games,
game screen in N&N ( action and adventure categories )in that country! :-)

thank you, someone to talk about! :-)

ok, so just given it a quick 10 minutes (i'll look longer later, but am going out).

I'll give you my honest initial thoughts as although it's nice for someone to just tell you "great!", it's not ever so useful.

So.. first thing I notice is you ticked the wrong orientation when publishing with GS, the splash screen is upside down to the game. Minor, but first impressions are important.

Second, when I started the first level I got a blue screen and it locked and froze the game. Had to quit and restart. Worked second time.

I went with the default options and hit start. Graphics look really good. I wasn't sure from the screen shots, but they do look great. The parralax scrolling looks superb. The fish itself could do with some more animation as it swims, looks a little like a drifting paper cut out.

I used the default 'cursor' control method and found it a bit puzzling. Why not go with an analogue joystick, this single direction movement is a bit awkward. The 'eat' button could do with changing appearance when tapped as it doesn't give a lot of feedback when tapped, fish doesn't always respond. I will try the accelerometer controls later.

I only played for 10 minutes but without reading any instructions I actually had no idea what I was doing. I could see there are a lot of levels, but no progress or indicator told me I was getting close to finishing a level. I ate a lot of stuff, found some keys and opened treasure. Perhaps the first level could overlay some instructions for the player. I know they could read the instructions but a lot of people just hit start.

I know this might look all bad. I don't mean that. I haven' really got into the actual game yet and will update my thoughts later. These are just my initial thoughts, please don't be angry about them.
