So a few days ago I released my newest and best game so far .. Chuzlies : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chuzlies/id404752533?mt=8

I really thought I was on to a winner with this one but so far sales have been very disappointing.

3 sold day 1
9 sold day 2
12 sold day 3
6 sold day 4

What I don't get is on ALL of the pre-release and post-release threads I made across various forums on the internet the feedback was always positive. No one suggested changing anything and everyone liked what they saw.

So what am I doing wrong? Why are my sales always poor? Why do review sites refuse point blank to review my game? Will my upcoming lite version (when approved) help or is my game now doomed?

I know I have created a great little puzzle game with Chuzlies, but how do I get the word out and get people to see how good it is?

I am starting to get really disheartened with iPhone Dev now :(, it just doesn't add up.

(This is me on my knees, humble and begging for help/advice)

I would appreciate any feedback on this, i really would

    Well forums like this and other dev forums your not gonna get any harsh feedback probably, we all know how hard it is to make a game, so we try not to put people down lol. Forums like touch arcade are your best bet. And im gonna be honest so dont get mad at me lol, if i saw the icon for your app in the appstore i wouldnt even look at it because i would think its a cheap pacman ripoff.( again no offense to you and the game, im just giving you honest feedback.) Maybe try changing the enemy graphics, make alot brighter icon and splash screen.

    It's not the worst "clipart game" I've seen, but the style is not consistent. Example in pic 4, some sharp and crispy images and some are blurry. Some character has toon outlines, some don't. Why? Does not look good. When I see graphics like that, I just ignores it keep browsing the appstore for an similar game with better graphics. The Icon is not to inspiring. Try come up withe something with a bit more "action" or that explains the game better.

    Gameplay is important, but graphics is the first impression.
