My first game, Flower Board has been released recently and has gained a small success (top 50 paid board game on the US store). However, some user/reviewer commented that the game's name is a down point. I think a better name may help the game, but since I'm not an English native, it not certain to me if a name is cool or not. Here is the link to my game on TA: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=98154 Please help me pick up a cool name for it
Don't know too much about the game but some initial thoughts: Think Link Brain Chain Connhex. (Connects ) Flink - (Mixture of Flower and Link) Strap line - <name of game> - Join the HEXcitement.
Avoid using any reference to hexagons in the title. People in general are afraid of complexity and hexagons are synonymous with brain challenges. Which is off putting to most users. Bloom Board Daisy Chain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fileaisy_chain.JPG I expect to be in the credits if you use any of those names Oh mr_wexer... why so vain?
Solid !!! Iam glad your making some money and you prove some people wrong too. Enjoy your continued success.
Daisy Chain is a clever name, but still quite feminine, which I believe was the reasoning behind some of the criticism towards Flower Board.
I probably wouldn't use 'Board' in the title. A board implies a static, uninteresting object, and it also sounds like 'bored'.
Daisy Chain isn't too bad because it still sounds kinda nerdy (in a good way) Zen Board sounds worse than flower board though. Anyway, you could always go overboard and name it something non-sequiter and attention grabbing which has nothing at all to do with the actual game itself "Dr. Batman's Topless Cyborg Lasagna Bloodbath" (hey, I'd click on that thread..)
It's quite good the name, but what you have written is precisely what stopped me from putting it down. Their's no pazazz or excitement about it. Nothing to say wow, I wonder what that's about, it's almost "too nice", "too soft and squishy". It doesn't fill you with intrigue, it's just there and very benign. How about: Powerball Plus Mighty BALLS!! 6's and 7's (from the saying - being all over the place "you're at 6's and 7's") Garden Frenzy - You'll really DIG IT! Flower Power Frenzy How about DIG IT! as a game name - Short and snappy.
