i moved it to free to spread the word for A few days
Didn't expect it to climb that high

It isn't even getting trashed
Star pilots is the name if anyone wants to check it out while it's free.

I'd link but I'm traveling and don't have my ipad

Not asking for ratings or anything.

Just letting you all know it's free

    Hey, that looks cool. I will get an iPad someday.

    Congrats on the success so far, hope it keeps going. When will you re-price it?

    That's great, will play today if i get time (decorating front room atm).

    I have been keeping an eye on Veggie Samurai as it went free for a few days and got to #1...now it's back to paid and no where to be seen (I was expecting to see it in top 100 tbh when it went back to 99c).

    GL.

    I got thousands of downloads a day when I went free and it climbed rapidly in the charts. When I went back to paid it dropped well below where it was before I put it free and kept dropping... simply put, making my game free for a couple of days killed sales completely.

    Yeah I gee that making it free kills it completely If the only plan is to try then hope to get sales when you go back to paid. That rarely works.

    However it is probably my most polished game and doesn't get hardly any downloads at all.

    My other three iPad games at least get a handful of downloads every day.

    This being two player only has a narrow audience but I feel it's a descent game.

    Some games that are a little more unique rather than just free shovel ware can stay in the free ranks. Plus there is a little more room on iPad charts. One of my free apps has been in the iPad ranks since launch.

    If this game can stay I would gladly add a few more features and maybe an iad on the title screen in two months. If it falls off the ranks I'll put it back to .99 and hope for a download or two and move on. If it starts to get some recognition from the characters a follow up one player game could do ok as well.

    I do pretty good at squeezing as many possibilities out of a situation as possible. I have a background in marketing so it's in my blood. Lol

    I always try to plan ahead. I started pushing doodle monster on the free ranks months before iads and it makes 5-10 very day now. It isn't a great game though.

    With D/L's like that, sell the rights to a pro on these boards and they can put ads in with an update...

    I have a pro account. But iads is not on iPad until November.

    Plus I'm not sure if that's the best route yet.

    Oh, I didn't realize you were pro/it was iPad only. Any plans to release an iPhone version?

    It's a stretch but, maybe a little...

    also to answer your question the iphone version (if I even finish it) is completely
    different

    Just same theme.

    the game really only works on an ipad as it's entire purpose is to make use of the big screen for two player. Like the old school pac man table lol

    I want to know who pays these spammers? Surely it NEVER works, they just piss people off. Why would you ever buy their product?
