A little help from the community?

I've asked for honest reviews on my last two apps. I've received none. That's after giving away promo codes both here and on touch arcade. Some via forums and some via email. Have had people say they'd review but none do. So finally I paid for a review... and spent 50 dollars to discover another game salad hater who says my graphics are not sharp. I've played this game on both the iPhone 3GS & 4 and I don't see problems with it. There are promo codes remaining on this site for Zombie Slots or I can provide more if someone would please review this app who doesn't have a vendetta. This is important to me because I've also purchased advertising to try to keep this game in front of people longer than it is in the itunes store. Thanks!... I hope.

The review:

"Zombie Slots is a simple game, which has been produced with the aid of Game Salad. The only thing that I dislike about Game Salad is that its very hard to get good quality graphics and user interfaces in it. This is also demonstrated by the graphics in this game. Personally I think every game nowadays should have crystal clear graphics, as its the easiest thing to do to make your game look good. However the gameplay is fine with no issues that I have seen. All this game really needs is just some graphics adjustments, but dont let that put you off. If you are a gambler and like slot machines and are obsessed with the undead “like most of the world today” then this game might just do it for you."

So you have to ask yourself if you were the reviewer getting paid " how do I give an honest review and still get more customers".
I think they did a decent review but would not have said uncrisp graphics but perhaps a little more life to the undead graphics ( meaning the over use of gray tones)
Perhaps add some more purples and specifically on the metal look of the slot machine. If you've been to Vegas you will note it's very animated. Send me a code and I'll review. DeMentidApps at gmail.com

Thank you. That's at least constructive feedback I can do something with. I'll send you a code.

Got it! Thanks and wrote a review but of course iTunes won't let me submit yet until their system sees that I own the app. I've had it take 2 days for them to let me post but I'll keep trying every few hours. Another suggestion ; perhaps enhance the buttons when touch is pressed
Interpolate self.size.width to self.size.width -4
Duration .03 ease in
Then do the same for height
Then in the otherwise do the same for width and height but instead of minus do +4

This gives the natural look of button going down then back up after releasing. I prefer this over the make the buttons larger when touched option (not realistic but works for other instances).
