Hope it translates into all sorts of the right kind of attention -- great reviews, massive downloads, fame, fortune, chiptunes emerge as the dominant music form on planet earth, &c.

Glad you like it! It's supposed to be fun
It's already had a few very lovely reviews in all the right places, which has been awesome.
I'm working on the rest!

Great job on the game! Looks and sounds neat. Also congrats on getting those nice reviews and getting featured, its all deserved!
Thank you. It's been a really long hard slog to get it done. I'm glad people are enjoying it so much - means a lot!

congrats ! just curious....download numbers if you don't mind ? ...ball park area
Thanks!
Sorry, I don't give out numbers!
But it started strong then declined by half each day till the reviews hit.
TA review = back to 3/4 original
PG review (day after) = slight rise.
Then declining again till featured.
Now back to more than original start (at least for yesterday).
So many more sheep saved now!
Interestingly, I didn't even bother with a press release this time!
holy crap how did i miss this? just opened up the app store on my iphone, and there it was, the last entry in the best new games on the main page! Just bought it.
It's nice to see a quality game without all that freemium nonsense get recognized, and front page none the less.

looks great on my 6+ too
Yep, I'm a bit out of touch with the features thingy. @butterbean mentioned to me it was like New and Noteworthy - but it's a bit more than that it seems!
Very glad to see a win for the paid ideology
Glad it looks great on your 6+ One player I know has a 6 and loves the look - a win for the GameSalad stretch feature, eh?
It's great to see an indie game more so GameSalad game featured , on review sites too. Also, I love how there are no IAP or gimmicks, I hope to see this more often. As a dev I'm turned offby the Las Vegas style AppStore of IAPs and what ever else. Let's keep things real in the game and app community, great effort
I know TA reviewed the game, but you also made it into their best games of the week, which I believe will put you in their year end review of best games of the year!

See, I have no idea of that kind of thing. I think I won their forum game of the week too. Which is awesome, as that's voted on by the actual players!
I don't think my sheepy brain is processing any of this. I'll look back on it in a month and think 'woah', but for now I'm very appreciative if a bit confuzzled by it all

with all this good vibes, you might get a nice boost at the end of the year when everyone does their best of the year lists!
See, I didn't even think of that! That'd be nice

quantumsheep congrats to the success
Make sure not to spend all the wool too fast
Thank you - let's be clear here - we're not talking life changing money like @firemaplegames deservedly got with Grisly Manor - but it all helps, and I'm very grateful for it, obviously!
It's great to know that paid apps can still exist, and that there's a bunch of people willing to pay you a small amount once for something they enjoy.
What I really love is the reviews, not just from the game sites, but from the players themselves. It's really lovely.
I don't have kids (that I know of!) but I imagine it's like people approving of your kids. Makes you feel good for sure!
Thank you - it's lovely that people are enjoying the game - hopefully the update (still in review!) will fix my Game Center woes and give the game another little burst of life!

Congrats on the coverage, how has that translated into downloads? How many have you got so far? Did you submit any review requests along the way?
Thanks!
I wrote directly to people I'd spoken to before at TouchArcade and 148apps as well as new people at PocketGamer, ArcadeLife and iPhoneLife.
There is a direct link I feel from coverage on established and reputable sites to a boost in downloads.
And the Apple feature has been the biggest contributor to downloads for sure.
The trick is to get noticed! And the best way of doing that is to make the best game you can and treat people like people (which has a lovely side-effect of being good for your soul, too!)

what, when did you find out? I've always removed all dna traces and I have always had someone else park my Ferrari's for me and I live on the streets instead of in the castle so that nobody should know. Ok then, it's too late now so I guess that I have to admit it.. Luke.. ehr, I mean Socks, I'm your father!

Well, I am working on Fuel Supply right now...
Thank you both
I'm in shock to be honest!
Thanks! I'm drinking whiskey* to steady my nerves!
Thanks! You can never rely on a feature from Apple. It's like a lottery.
However, I like to think the positive reaction/press has helped somehow along the way!
I need a sit down...

Grats on the success and press.
Since theres sheep, and its in space, where is "El Chupacabra" as a level boss?
Thanks for that - I'd missed it!
The TA guys have been very kind! The whole TA experience has been pretty amazing.
That's awesome - you're half way there! Hopefully with a bunch of stuff unlocked too!
Thank you. How do you know 'El Chupacabra' isn't in the game, eh?*
Thanks guys - the ride continues!

*he isn't - unfortunately he was taken ill with food poisoning the week before he was due to be put in. There are other bosses though
