Using a secret recipe of special herbs and spices, you hand batter each game to ensure that all of them are crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

drop the price,update often
threaten to kill a chicken:D

[karaokekarl]

twitter blast baby
and great Youtube trailer video
and more codes to encourage people to rate

[pharmx]

You need to "unthink" what you thought about cocks and try this game out!
(humor entry....if you've seen KFC's new slogan for their grilled chicken, you know what I'm talking about)

To answer that question for real....to sell a million copies, all you need to do is get on the Top 5 paid apps list in iTunes for a couple months :D
(ok so another humor entry)

Exposure is what you'll need....and lots of it. A little bit of luck never hurt either! Find a way to go viral, and you're golden. You can get exposure several different ways...just depends on how much free time you have or how much money you're willing to spend.

[The Bat Outta Hell]

You can sell a million copies by bringing Plus+ integration, therefore everyone will want it as part of their collection.

Oh, and have a crossover with minigore and pocket god =P

[MrTcj22]

shave a chicken and show its c**k then you'll get all the exposure you need

show the cows from chik-fil-a and then you'll sell a million

[jasonsmith]

Give all of us TA'ers codes and we'll review the heck out of thing. Okay, well maybe just those that actually leave reviews... :rolleyes:

[ImNoSuperMan]

Just create a million account and buy them all your self. Problem Solved ;)
--------
Get chilliongo to publish your game. :cool:

ok seriously, you'll need to promote the game a lot if want to sell that many copies. Get featured on AppStore(more of a luck required here).

Have some competetion for the gamers where you give away gift cards for top scorers on a weekly basis. Every week previous entries will be eliminated to make sure it still seem possible for most of the gamers. Have a big prize of 25-50$ for highest scorer plus a few more 10-15$ for first runners up. And then a few more for random selection from all the entries of the week no matter if their score is in the top 10 or not. Also a couple more for random user. Who bought the app in current week only.
If you follow this then either you'll end a millionaire if it works. Otherwise keep those bankruptsy papers ready :p

[Devilishly Good]

Each app purchase comes with a code for $10 in iTunes credit...a million will sell super quick then.

[tjoel16]

Give us 2 millions dollars then we just might buy it lol

but for real try to bring out a lite as people will be causious buying a 4 dollar game

[ImNoSuperMan]

Each app purchase comes with a code for $10 in iTunes credit...a million will sell super quick then.
My idea is better coz it'll cost him bout 5 million dollars less than your idea ;)

Just create a million account and buy them all your self. Problem Solved
------------------
Another great idea to sell a million copies with much less loss. Make the app free and give out 10$ certificate to whoever can show you a 100 different AppStore purchases of the free game. Will cost you 10000$ only. :p

A contest! for the upcoming iPods ( if there will be a new one on 9-9-09 ) ^^

[tv3636]

Don't be a chicken, just drop the game to free and you're sure to get one million downloads!

[XciteMe83]

Buy Cock-A-Doodle, a fantastic new time management game on iTunes, and for a LIMITED time only we'll throw in a dozen free buttermilk biscuits, along with large sides of mashed potatoes and corn!!! Fountain drinks not included.

A wise man once said:;)

Factors that make apps stand out are unique gameplay, high replay value and an online leaderboard that creates community.

Great content, not marketing is what drives App Store success.

Best of luck on your way to a million!

[lamdogkc]

Simple,
use your asset (Chicken+your brain).
Use this formula;
y = ab*
Where Y is your sales, a is you variable (Chicken), b is your factor ($ pricing) and * is your effort (Marketing effort)
so,
1.The more chicken you have (level, task, puzzle) the fun it will be, so people will download.
2.The more the price fluctuated the more impress people will think about your worthiness of your app.
3.More effort (marketing), the more awareness people will have regarding your app and it’s exponential.

change the name to minicook
=> apple will mean it has something to do with minigore
=> ur updates wont come out
=> the forum member will regret you
=> and every member will buy it
=> u get in the top 10
=> cause of the promocode reviews and of the member reviews ( all 5-4 stars) ur app will be soon number 1 and everybody wants it

[xerox]

Change the name to: Chicken fart. All game with fart word have a lot of sales

[Jacson-X]

drop the price to $0.99 for limited time!!

[upsidedown]

Tell everyone on iTunes that everyone who buys it has a chance to win a brand new toaster oven.

[eggzbacon]

Make the description the same as Flick Fishing's description and put screenshots of Pocket God and also say that it gets an update a week

[Rachel]

Give 1 million farm owners iPods/iPhones and there you go!

Or... just give me a promo code and I'll make it happen ;)

[JCik68]

apart from classic things like lower price to 0,99, put LIMITED SALE to your description together with great grades from reviews (place it to the top of description) I would suggest to change name to Cock tycoon - manage your cocks with the subheading FREE CHICKS IN A PACKAGE

[drelbs]

Adding OpenFeint support with achievements will get all those guys to buy it.

You could change to a hand-drawn style and call it Doodle Cock. :D
