PG went all the to the top without advertising. (they didn't even get featured until they were in the top 50 paid) They don't advertise AT ALL, but they stay in the top because they have a cult follow

NOOOOOOOOOO! Your game was insane! Don't give up on GameSalad it got you in to the top 20 apps!

for a day through freeappaday.com it went to the top 5 of free apps. Bumps is WAY better than that game and a lite version will certainly get DLed a ton. A URL that automatically takes them to the fu

I agree about the 4 stars and above we have 3/5 stars atm and 2 bad reviews at the top pf most helpful so.....

The other option is to stack everything in the game on top of each other and turn their visibility on/off depending on what "scene" you are in.

I think your game did make it, and the fact that it sat there in the top 50 for that long is an incredible feat.

Heya Riffel. I got to check the game out today. I think it is really well done and can agree a little on the controls. But the art is definitely top notch and the game seems like it will be quite su

I was wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions for my game Doodle Destroy.

I've seen games pick up a little heat well after the initial launch hype, so there IS still hope for top 10. You might get featured by some non-gaming news site with a larger audience. However, even i

Well guys it's looking like Bumps will soon be out of the top 75 games and we saw a massive drop in sales again today (and a bigger one 2morro) but it's been a fantastic couple of weeks giving us enou

This Scene has 47 Actors in it. Every Scene has two layers, one for the inventory system and menu buttons, and one for everything else.
