Promocode Giveaway: As this is unanimously the best forum for iPhone games, we hold huge respect for the gamers community here. Hence, to show how much we value their opinion, we will be giving away 20 Promo-codes to 20 lucky winners who post on this thread about their first impressions of the game and its video trailer. Now the best part is, we will be distributing the codes one day before the launch date so as to give gamers here a chance to grab the game before everyone else. Thank you
Awesome! contains all of my favourite things! Extreme violence, toilet humour, and nameless/faceless people being mown down in a bloody rampage! The trailer is really cool, great sound effects and music. Hope you have great sucess in the app store, this looks really fun!
2 Questions: 1. If we do follow each and every one of the steps above for the first contest are we GUARANTEED the $10 iTunes Gift Card? In other words, is everyone who follows those steps exactly to the letter going to receive the card? 2. Are the people who receive promo codes from you eligible for the $10 iTunes Gift Card as well? As for my initial impressions after watching the video, I love the premise and story of the game shown in the opening cinematic. The app icon looks great, and the features sound fairly interesting. The variation in character is nice as well. I would suggest more than just 2 types of guns, either added to the initial release or released in updates, as the repetitiveness tends to really build up after a while.
Loving the whole art style and digging the user interface and controls, everyone could stand to play this game, I will let everyone I know to check out "bloody hell"
I'm thinking Apple are gonna hammer down on the blood spurts and label this a torture simulation. They made iDrop Dead remove the blood (and replace it with flowers) too.
Thank you for your nice comments . Regarding your questions i will answer them in the order asked: 1) This is the whole point. The promotion is meant to reward everyone who spends his/her time playing our game on the first day (of course first buying it) and reviewing it on the same day along with completing other steps. 2) Definitely, as i said earlier, the promo-code giveaway is for this forum members only so they are automatically eligible for the promotion as well with or without the promo code. I guess here is chance for a few lucky people to get a game and receive a $10 iTunes gift card all for free. Regarding adding few more guns, please continue giving us more suggestions for next versions. We are already working on its first major update and are intending to keep updating it based on user feedback.
This is why a community is like a family, people helping other people even though they barely know each other. Sorry guys if i sound too sentimental.
Great game! I wanna play it Nice graphics, music. Ofenfeint integration my favorite feature, because i like achievements and world leaderboards. Softmines, i followed you in twitter
This promotion is meant to establish long term relationship with our users and to promote our brand. It is not meant for a single product success only.
Fair enough. Do you guys have any other games out there, or is this first one? Care to give us any hints about what's coming in the future?
This looks like a lot of fun. Trailer is jam packed full of awesome. Kudos to you for releasing a lite too.
Yeah! This game looks awesome! Love the blood spurting mindless mahem! My kind of game indeed! Needs more types of weapons, though. Sound effects are spot on-would like more types of victims to kill as well. Definitely want this game even though I won't be eligible for the gift card because I don't facebook or tweet. Will give a review after playing, however! Thanks! Also, do you have any other games out, or is this your first one?
Thanks for answering my questions, and it's really great to see a developer who is committed to the game and is willing to listen to user suggestions and make his/her game better.
We have currently two more games in queue, one near completion that we are thinking of beta testing with the help of testers here and the other is in a nascent stage so will take time to materialize. You can get a glimpse of these on our website (people who don't like the design of our website don't despair, we will be upgrading it shortly)
Today is your lucky day. The fact that you like this type of games makes you our esteemed potential customer, and as we are in a good mood you will be exempted from the social networking steps of promotion. Just drop us an email after you have written your review mentioning your iTunes nickname and quoting your post from this thread, we will send you a $10 gift certificate. In future, if you decide to start using Facebook & twitter just don't forget to like our Fb and twitter page. No, we don't have other games ( apart from a free game that we published for our friend-not available on app store now) as of now but will be coming out with a few more in near future.
