Oh man I completely agree. Seems like a really dirty way to go about doing things. Plus now the game is sitting at the top of the hot new games list, which is giving it more attention.
They didn't say you have to write a good or fake review, just a review. Nothing wrong with asking for some feedback.
Is this Weird? OK- there are 2 things here... 1. If you look on the promo forum, this is common practice here. You will also find on this thread, that some of our TA readers here have been particularly kind with their comments about this game in particular(And to those of you,we thank you for your kind words and we're glad that you like the game). It is a simple game, but not everyone is into bigger games like for example, Crime City. We genuinely believe a simple game that is well executed has an appeal in the market. 2. When a new bakery across the road opens, offers sample to get you to visit the bakery, asks you to put in a few good words for it or refer it to a friend IF you like it and offers a prize for a lucky draw, is that under-handed? It's an invitation to try the product and an invitation to tell us what you think of it on our "official guest book". This is fair game and nothing weird or underhanded or sinister about it.

Reviewed as Ju571nP on Canadian App Store. Sorry if it's an inconvenience that my review's on the Canadian App Store. Is it OK that my review is on another store?
i agree so much with this......i honestly would never have downloaded this app without this contest......yet i left an honest review and this game is still on my device. its not underhand.....its a $15 way to get a lot of people to pay attention. Believe me......i have taken part in much worse during my time at TA. The "promo code" craze was phenomenal. People would get suspended/banned for straight up asking for a code to a free game. I'm amazed how much it has disappeared
Happy New Year!! Happy New Year, everyone! And thank you to all of you who have participated, tried out the game and spent time to leave a few lines of review. Thank you for your kind words and constructive feedback. And the winner of the luck draw is.......(drumroll) Copaeci! Copaeci, I will send you a PM right after I've posted this message.
