Maybe just throw it on the web somewhere?

Just like the feed your pet games that were a hit in Japan.

Hm yeah. I somehow would like to launch it just with banner ad maybe remove ad support in-app but on the other hand this feels like something that should not be monetised since its charm lies in the innocence.

Because of that conflict I can't take it in my app portfolio since I set for all my apps in there the standard to monetize well.
(multiple in-apps, chartboost full screen video + pop ups ads, banners..)

Since each install is valuable, chartboost wants $2.50 right now for one install on your game. Than you better have that one being well monetizing app.

Ofc there is always the chance that it hits the right timing and gets into the hands and it would even perform well with only having a banner, just due the pure traffic. But I somehow stopped relying on that factor.

Putting it on the web somewhere I probably could do that or atleast game salad arcade.
But I also feel for publishing it would need a couple of small things more.
Which I would have a hard time adding due the points above which would nag on me while doing so. I am thinking pretty much like a Business but as seen here the artist wants to come through here and there.

So I guess I just leave it as a youtube video.
Thanks guys for the positive feedback that one was hard to share because its pretty unusual to make sad games.

Yes it's sad but I see a lot of hope in there.

Game looks great !

I don't think it's particularly sad, I think the song you are using is melancholic (but would you even be able to use that particular song?), if you mute the audio on the video and then play something more upbeat while the video is playing it changes the mood of the game entirely . . . try something like this:

I love the song!!!!! Just close your eyes and play the song.....Its not actually sad per say. Haunting. Great song!

Shazam doesn't know the song. Must be original work?

Thanks. Shame on Shazam. The only bands I know from Australia is AcDc, Men at work and INXS.

yeah great music, in case I would finish it I would get their permission +link or/and pay fee.
