Prankstar is now FREE!!! Enjoy!

AfterBurnett

Hi guys and gal (you are the only one, aren't you, Peachpellen? lol),

I have decided to change my first app price to ZERO! I figure it's not exactly anything amazing, just a fun little app to freak out your friends and family with and it doesn't feel right charging money for what was, essentially a couple of hours work. Although I did have to pay for artwork!

Anyway, I'm making it free for all, it's a fun little app (it actually works well as a standard drum kit app, too!). Please download and rate it!

Cheers... and watch this space... my first "proper" game Max Vector: Resolution is very near to hitting the app store's virtual shelves... it WON'T be free ;-)

Downloading now, and will leave you some stars, fella.

To be fair, I think your app has been prematurely ejected from the paid section of the app store. Firstly, it's a bit of a slap in the face to those that bought it for money when it first came out to have it reduced to free so soon! Just my opinion!

Secondly, you could have waited till Max Vector was released, then updated prankstar to have an 'ad' for that within it (I'm guessing you don't have a pro license and thus the ability to directly link to it).
There are sites that pick up price drops in apps, and you may have got some extra downloads and greater awareness RE: Max!

But hey, what do I know, eh?

As to MV:R - from what you've shown me, I certainly like the style of it! I'm hoping there's more to it than what I've seen so far though! I know every day can bring major additions in the world of GS, so I'm sure you're doing fine!

Anyway, thanks for the free App! Long live Max Vector!

Yeah I thought about that but not many people bought it at all (pretty much just friends - lol). The majority of sales to people I don't know went to Aussies... I don't mind pissing them off, being a Kiwi and all.

And yes, I am going to use it to push Max Vector. The reason I have made it free is because it's still in "New and Noteworthy" so I'm hoping that'll get loads of downloads. I'll update the binary with ads for my game, feature film and novel too. MUAH HA HA HA HAAA!

AfterBurnett

Oh and yes, loads more to it. Each level is completely different graphically and features different enemies/waves and bosses. It's a fully-fledged shooter from start to finish

And the soundtrack... I have secured the rights to some bloody fantastic stuff...

That's fantastic to hear! Very much looking forward to it.

And I secured the rights to some awesome stuff too! I wonder if it's the same person/people?

BTW - do check out Pix'n Rush on the app store. Not strictly a shooter, but my god it's beautiful!

Baa. :P As an Aussie I will be sure to make a sheep sex joke in my review
J/k. Downloading now, looking forward to it!

AfterBurnett

Haha! I mean baa baa!!

*puts on something more comfortable and winks at QS*

If anyone here DID pay for it, I shall gift them Max Vector: Resolution!

Tris

Cool! Would be sweet if the pads changed colour when you tapped them. My partner just dropped my iPad, luckily on the bed!

Edit: I put a baa in my review

AfterBurnett

Hahaha. I warned you!

I could put that in an update, the colour changing thing... will finish my game first, though

goliath

why did you reduce it if it was still in new and noteworthy?

I can't seem to get mine featured anywhere and I thought my game turned out pretty good.

goliath

also- can you post some pictures of your new game?

AfterBurnett

Because N&N wasn't helping sales at all but I figured if it was still in N&N while free, people will see it and won't have anything to lose by downloading it

Dunno how to post pics here. There are pictures in the iTunes link

AfterBurnett

Bump... still free ;-)

You drive a hard bargain, and I'm a cheap bastard, but I got it and dropped you five stars. Look forward to your next one.

Cheers I got over 250 downloads from the US alone last night... big difference being free makes. LOL.

peachpellen

Hey - a little late to the party, I know, but I've just bookmarked the page.

I wont have anything to play this on until next month sometime, but shall download it then and give you a nice rating and review.

PS - Flattered at being mentioned in the OP :P Made me lol.

AfterBurnett

That's me... the flatterer. I get it all the time... "hey, there's that flatter guy"... oh... wait, my mistake... "there's that fatter guy". Damn.

peachpellen

Another lol. ^-^;

Lucky for you I don't mind fatties XD It just means they have a love for food - and I do LOVE food.

If I could find them, this statement would bring warm fuzzy feelings to my cockles!

I like this post very much XD Very clever.

If you are ever in Australia we may have a banquet!

AfterBurnett

I live in Australia, unfortunately. Too many Aussies. Kiwis are allergic to Aussies... we like sheep though... a lot. Eh QS?

peachpellen

Which state? I'm in NSW but SA was lovely - people were far nicer there, more polite, less rushed, etc.

I guess I should step back and let you two continue .... whatever this is. o.O;

AfterBurnett

VIC. People aren't that nice here. LOL.

peachpellen

Oh. Yeah. I lived in Vic for like 18 months before moving here. (SA from birth to 16, VIC 16 to 17.5 and then onto NSW.)

Victoria does seem to be the bastard state of Australia - I hate Perth, although I've never been - it just seems like it should be sunk. XD

I advise you to immediately move to Adelaide. My mother can set up a room for you if you like; so long as you don't mind that when she gets up to make her morning coffee she will assume you are asleep and wear ONLY SLIPPERS.

Me: OMG MUM!!!!
Mum: I didn't think anyone else would be up at this time!
Me: Well I .... Wait .... Why are you just wearing slippers?
Mum: So my feet don't get cold!
Me: *horrible nightmares to this day*

On second thought, maybe you'd be better off staying in Vic a bit longer. Lol.

AfterBurnett

Depends... how old is your mum? hahaha.

Oh, you had to go there, didn't you???

But seeing as you've dragged us there with you...

How old is she then, peach??

QS

AfterBurnett

And does she have sheepskin slippers?

quantumsheep

You just get worse and worse! :O

peachpellen

Sorry, been talking to my twin for like 6 hours on Skype - she complains if I type at the same time as talking, lol.

My mother is like 58 - although she's one of those women who stay younger looking - guess she looks like an attractive, slightly curvy 40?

Also, her boobs are GG or H. I'm not kidding you. She's had no work done. I did not inherit those, sadly XD

As to the slippers - I have no idea on her current ones - although she did used to have sheepskin ones.

QS - I'm sorry for your loss

AfterBurnett

For some reason, I'm picturing Flo from Bad Boy Bubby.

peachpellen

I can't find a pic and I've never seen it - although I'm sure I'd lol if I got it.

Flo sounds like someone's grandmother to me.
