    Looking extremely sharp, big fan of doing pixel art so you get a thumbs up from me. Hope sales go well for you.

    Cheers :) I just submitted to Touch Arcade too, hopefully will hear something back from them but not holding my breath!

    Now I'm gonna relax for a bit before getting into some hardcore marketing next week! I can not let this flop! LOL.

    Looks good.
    I like the pixel size difference in the first pic. Background pixels huge, moving stuff big.

    This seems to be logical but the mix in other pics looks a bit odd. Of course, when it is moving it may be different again.

    Did you try the joystick to be 'proper' hi res?
    In my imagination I think it may add contrast to the game.

    I would also be tempted to make small elements a higher res; bullets and points.

    My 2 Cents

    Joystick? Wash your mouth out! There is no joystick! Only a fire button ;) I didn't want any high res stuff in this game... totally retor... even the controls.... I think it would detract too much from the style.

    And the reason some pixels are HUGE and others not so much is that in all these older games thay had to scale sprites up as higher resolution ones were too much for the poor little 8 Bit processors... hence massive, chunky bosses and backgrounds. I'm trying to make it really feel like a retro game, not a game with a retro feel... wow, that's deep.... my new slogan!

    My slogan is:

    Nostalgia's not what it used to be...

    I have actually put "Max Vector feels like a retro game, not just a game with a retro feel" in the App Store description. Hahahaha.
  • ValanValan Member, BASIC Posts: 410
    Oops!
    Mouth washed out.

    I do like it.
  • AfterBurnettAfterBurnett Member Posts: 3,474
    I just had a closer look at the pics... you're right... pixel sizes for the BGs are a bit different... level three is much chunkier than one and five there... something to think about for the update or sequel! Cheers ;)
  • AfterBurnettAfterBurnett Member Posts: 3,474
    Wow, more votes for $1.99 than 99c... any thoughts as to why?
  • FranzKellerFranzKeller Member Posts: 517
    It's looking sharp! Congrats on reaching ... Er "this stage of the game"

    What to price is a tough issue. When I finish my game, it'll be a 99, at least at first
    May add more features later

    People on the app store whine a lot about various apps being too high priced... When only a couple years ago games cost 3 to 10 times this much ( I forget though, some of these kids weren't born yet!
  • quantumsheepquantumsheep Member Posts: 8,188
    Heh - too true Franz!

    I think having an introductory price of $.99 and then raising the price X number of days later could be the way to go.

    Cheers,

    QS :D

    Hehe, welcome to GS anyway... warning, though... it's TOTALLY addictive! I spend more time writing games than working, sleeping or playing games put together!
  • TaidakenTaidaken Member Posts: 271
    i usually spend my time working or training in jujitsu, and playing video games in my spare time, but lately ive been spending most my time working on my first game, so i can understand how its totally addictive lol.
