BitChip Bounce - crafted with Gamesalad

Hi GS guys! I thought I'd share what will probably be my first and last published game created for iOS using Gamesalad. Loved creating this little thing in my spare time with GS and now it's finally available on the App Store for you to enjoy or ignore at your leisure:

Really cool, i see you got a deal with appsolute games Why do you say is gonna be the first and "last"?

Mainly because of the inflexibility of the ad network support. It's actually impossible to have ad-mediation (which most publishers will want as it maximises fill-rate) AND rewarded videos in your GS app, because of the way interstitials are handled and the mish-mash support of the available networks.

I'll continue to use GS for prototyping (as a professional game designer by day I find it easy to quickly communicate ideas to my team with this). I love the editor for it's speed and ease of use and would recommend it to anyone starting out with game development, but I'm likely going to move towards Unity now to push toward using tools more sought-after in my career.

Never say never though, I suppose. If I think of something simple that could do well as a paid-for product (unlikely on mobile) or something that wouldn't rely on video ads so much, I may still come back. As too would I if GS matured their video-ad support (and particle system) but I don't see that happening any time soon.
