Can someone please tell me what is wrong with my game? For some reason it only gets 0 downloads a day, if i'm lucky it will get 1 download. Currently it is priced at $0.99.

Thanks

    Hey TackyAttack,
    3 of your 4 screenshots are not displaying actual gameplay. That's ridiculous! Also, it's probably on the marketing side. I happen to be learning about ways to "save" apps. You might want to look into this - http://www.appbackr.com/

    Well you asked so i'm gonna throw this out here. Don't take offense. Remember, You asked.

    The artwork is very dull in my opinion, and the Game Concept in general sounds like 10,000 other games so There is really no way unless I was dead set on a monkey theme I would pay for something like this.

    Now for the good news. Your not alone. A majority of apps get 0 sales per day, usually from similar reasons.

    Dont get hung up on this one and just learn from it and apply what you learned from this one to your next Game.

    Good luck.

    Aaron

    You only show one screenshot.

    The icon is not consistent with style in the screenshot(s). It also looks like a "one trick pony"(gets boring after 5 minutes).

    whats wrong? how about everything? no art, no gameplay, nothing good at all

    sorry but your game is not up to standards to even warrent more then 1 downloads a day. you only show one image and even still the game looks extremely bland. there are hundreds of thousands of games on the app store. to do well your game as to really stand out and be exceptional in every way.

    i would also like to mention as i forgot to add this. i checked out all your apps on app annie. you have 16 which is alot i give you that. But not one of them is worth paying for ever!. work on one decent game would be a start. i even saw one of your apps which was just the car race demo on game salad and guess what your charging 60p for it lol. crazy stuff mate.

    Even though what you say is true, there is no need to say it like that, tenrdrmer basically said the same just much nicer.

    The reason why all my apps are bad is because those were ones I made when I first started making apps. Most of my work I do now is for other people. Here is an example of an I app I did for the Neuro drink company: http://gamesalad.com/forums/topic.php?id=23634

    btw, i'm only 14 so i'm still learning.

    Thank You!

    You do this a lot, and it's uncalled for. You can criticise without being an arse about it.

    Let's keep it civil, eh?

    QS :D

    Wow thats a very inappropriate app for a 14 year old to make.

    BTW. I really loose a little respect for someone when they blame the quality of their work on their age. You should really keep that in mind in the future. not just with Game Development either. People will have a lot more respect for the work you do at your age when you can take responsibly of the work you do with out excuses.

    I was blaming the quality on the fact that I made those apps when I was a noob, not my age.

    Thats an excuse. I've heard that line from so many kids on this forum. Im offering you advice not cutting you down. It would be wise to take it instead of get offended.

    I'm 12. And I'm competing in the TOTB3 competition. Age isn't a reason for bad quality of games.
