    Hi Arn/TA Staff:)

    I've tried emailing you a few times over the last month, but I've had no reply at all. Totally understand that you guys are busy as anything but I wondered if it'd speed up the process by asking directly on here?

    Would you like to review Spooky Spirits: Puzzle Drop!! ? I'm more than happy to supply a code for review and a couple for a giveaway?

    New Genre of Music game

    Hi Arne you mentioned that for Puzzle games in particular there would be almost no way to get your attention, but I have a game thats a totally new concept of Music Puzzle and yes it's cheap but it's a totally new Genre where you work with your own music library. You actually work with your songs...

    How do I get you to notice it?
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audio-puzzle/id341210579?mt=8

    We spent a great deal of time looking for a relevant concept for the iphone and found some new stuff in the 3.0 options. We are the first to do stuff like this and even though we start small we have big ideas about how to grow from this concept. There have been some nice discussions about our app on the threads and the pointers we have gotten are all in development so I think if your a music lover like us you might enjoy the little cleverness in the app.

    Would there be anyone special who cover music apps, that we might contact?

    Any pointers on how to get noticed in the sea of apps?

    TouchArcade seems to be the the most, if not only notable iphone gaming preview website and there's none that I know out there that compare. How can you keep up with gaming previews if developers are exponentially increasing everyday and try to get in touch with you for exposure?

    I have tried from different email addresses for the last week. It's still rejected

    "The error that the other server returned was: 554 554 5.7.1 Filter Rule 16 - Global REJECT Filter Macro 11252 (state 18)."

    Email delivery failure

    Hey,

    We just tried to send an e-mail to [email protected] but got an error message

    Seems like a spamming issue, but it used to work so it may not only be a problem on my side.

    The help from the Google link does not seem very relevant as I am not a Google Apps user (are you?) but from the bounce error message details I can read there may be something wrong with the SPF record of my domain name:

    I'll try to make some adjustments on my DNS and try again but please let me know if you have any info on this problem and if you finally get our e-mail.

    Thanks.


    UPDATE
    What I did is to add spamh.com as a ptr mechanism in my SPF record. Although I'm not sure I have to do such a thing it did the trick:

    BUT that did not help having our mail delivered. We still got the same error message. I don't know where to search now...

    Thanks for the criteria, really interesting to read. I hadn't considered that price was considered but it makes sense. So many apps out there don't know how you guys keep up at all. Love to know how many submissions you guys get a day, is is dozens or hundreds?

    The format of Apps appearing in the threads??

    I appologise if this is not the right place to pose this question, but I am new to touch arcade and to the forum particularly.

    I was trying to add a thread/ post to the Games for ipad and the Games for Iphone/ Ipod Touch forum discussions so that I could add my recent game Bad Dog.
    I noticed that the presentation of the app in the thread, with the icon, the screen prints, description and voting functions along with youtube embedded movies all follow what appear to be the same template.

    However, upon trying to create my own submission, the form I was presented with did not appear to be formatted in the same way that might achieve that templated output..

    Am I missing something?

    Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated.

    Kindest regards

    Neil

    how to have a game in the list on Wednesdays?

    Hello,

    I'm a developer and my game is nearly ready for release. I would love to have it listed among the weekly games that you put out on Wednesdays, for games that release on Thursdays. How would I do that? It cannot be the same procedure as sending the app for review at the tips email, since the apps have yet to be released, so I'm curious about what I need to do.

    Thanks!
    Bob Sabiston
