    P.S. BlackBird, were you the "BlackbirdStudios" that signed up for GSBar? I like to know who signs up because it is a fairly new site.

    Yes RKS, I saw something about it in the forums and though I would check it out. It looks really cool! Try to pull in some more users!

    Monthly update time.

    Apple still has not resolved my problem. They emailed me for the first time on Monday asking about the issue because it looked like it had been resolved. I wrote back saying it wasn't resolved, in the 13 weeks it took to respond the game had just fallen off the featured section.

    My game is also featured on the front page of app addict today :)

    I'm glad to see you're still pursuing our Apple overlords over their mistake. And yay for the app addict exposure! :D

    Well it's a new year, time to tackle some new markets.

    I've ported A Long Way Home to android, and last night I released it in the Android Market. That took some tricky work as they have a strict 50MB apk size limit, so I had to trim 25MB from the package, but resampling the audio and crunching the PNG's got me below the magic number.

    It's also in review for the Amazon App Store, followed (hopefully) by release on the Kindle Fire. As soon as NOOK approves my account I'll get it uploaded over there as well.

    I've used the fantastic iPhone to iPad / iPad to iPhone resizing trick and ported the game to the iPhone. It's currently sitting waiting for review with Apple.

    Hopefully the game does well!

    Thanks!

    It's done kinda well on the kindle which is nice to see.

    The game is doing well on the kindle fire, it's sold more copies in 2 days than the past 5 mths on iOS. It's currently the 470th top paid app on the amazon app store. I even got a really good review.

    Well, use success in quotes :). We are still talking about less than $100. I've found 'success' on the kindle, the android market itself sucks, 0 sales so far.
