BeyondtheTech Well-Known Member Sep 21, 2008 88 0 6 Desktop Support Engineer New Jersey http://www.beyondthetech.com #15 BeyondtheTech, Mar 16, 2011 Thanks for everyone's response here via PM and posts, and on Twitter, and Facebook. It's getting nuts coming from all different directions, so if you can continue to post here, I've got another batch to give away, since I'll be releasing an update soon, so I'll have even more from Apple. Just keep asking in this thread and I'll PM you back with a code. Thanks again, and if you didn't get a code, you can still pick up the universal game for only $0.99 on the App Store.

Flour Bluff #16 PureSkill, Mar 16, 2011 I will request a promo code then, Thanks Glorkininin Member Mar 10, 2011 7 0 0 #17 Glorkininin, Mar 19, 2011 Sorry for taking so long to review. Okay, so I like the idea and the look. I don't think many people would be willing to pay so often just to play. If you start with more bullets, at least people who are not as good at games like this would be able to play for a while. Ashenor Well-Known Member May 6, 2010 59 0 0 Metro Detroit #18 Ashenor, Mar 19, 2011 Would love a code if you have any left. koyut Well-Known Member Jan 18, 2010 418 0 0 #19 koyut, Mar 19, 2011 You seem to have extra codes to give. I would like one if they are available. BeyondtheTech Well-Known Member Sep 21, 2008 88 0 6 Desktop Support Engineer New Jersey http://www.beyondthetech.com #20 BeyondtheTech, Mar 20, 2011 Hey guys. I heard your comments and while the beta testers and myself didn't think the game was as hard as other people are making it out to be, you don't have to actually buy more bullets with in-app purchasing if you don't want to. I have implemented other ways, such as bonus money and ammo by posting your score on Facebook and creating assignments and submitting them. I am also in the middle of an update where either a bird or a briefcase enters randomly in some scenes, and if you hit it, it will also give you bonus money and ammo. Lastly, because I have noticed that people are actually using the in-app purchases for upgrades, I have decided to drop the initial price of $0.99 to FREE so that everyone can jump in on the fun. And the more assignments you make, the more challenging and expansive the game becomes. So, for the time being, the game is FREE to download and play. I do have one request, and that is please offer constructive criticism and a fair rating for the game. It helps me understand what I can and need to do to make the game more enjoyable and worthwhile. That being said, there is a 1-star rating and practically meaningless review sitting on my game, and based on all his other ratings, he's pretty much doing the same to other developers who are trying to do right on the App Store. If you could please rank down the review as unhelpful and/or report it as a concern to Apple, I would greatly appreciate it, especially now that I'm basically giving the game out for free. Thanks. Again, here's the link directly to iTunes: click here. Thanks again. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
