Gamesalad...but not for mainstream games.

One thing some people might want to consider: Mainstream games are pretty saturated on the App store and the quality is incredibly high for many .99 apps.

Something to consider is to make a simple app that isn't a game. A good example, but done to death and quite dumb are the fart apps. However, I think there are niches to be found for kid's games, entertainment, or other apps that are targeted.

I'm getting $200-300 a month for several months so far from two apps as hobby income with zero marketing, press release or a single promo code sent and I thought it would be helpful to point out that even an awesome game can get lost. Try to think outside the box-

    Gamesalad has had some very nice and wildly popular games made with it. Yes apps for like kids do sell very well but doesn't mean a great game can do awesome.

    GS is a great platform for many things, and I agree with what you are saying. I also think that some people can monetize some other interesting ideas.

    Are you charging or making money via ads?

    If you are charging, how much is it?
