    Thanks! This makes Survival far more enjoyable for an ol' slowpoke like myself!

    Nice I'm glad you like it :) Personnally I prefer it that way too, so thanks for the suggestion! There's still a lot of stats tweaking to do through! Next build should include all the achievements and some bug correction, since a lot of the game programing is finished!

    Also, do you like the tutorial I included? Is it simple and clear enough?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, you managed to cover the basics and get into the multipliers in just a few steps. Informative and tight.

    Hi guys :D

    I've just sent you the final build of the game :D If there's no major bug, this is probably the build that will be send to Apple. Of course, there won't be red sprites anymore (the ones with white text on it because of one missing license). But anyway, here's the final changes :

    -New icons, thanks to my girlfriend!
    -Credits screen completed with a link to our website
    -The cards are now filled horizontally, avoiding big holes at the end of a challenge game
    -Tutorial Mode - Added more steps to explain the different hands possible
    -Options Screen - You can now reset achievements without reseting the stats
    -Options Screen - Reseting stats don't bring you to Main Menu anymore
    -Survival Mode - Color hands don't do damage anymore
    -Survival Mode - New monsters name!
    -Survival Mode - Delay before new monster info is shown, showing the score got from the killed monster
    -Survival Mode - Boss system added - Slight chance of all stats doubled
    -Tower Mode - No more lag when game over
    -Tower Mode - An alert is now shown when a column is full
    -New achievement : Cleaner - Clean the screen in Challenge mode!
    -Some minor bug fix

    Have fun :D

    Hi guys!

    The final build of the game is finished and ready to be uploaded to Apple! But unfortunatly, the iOS provisioning portal is currently in maintenance since 30 hours now... So I can't send it right now, because I need a distribution profile for the App Store... Hoping to send it this afternoon and, maybe, release it on Feb' 21st! Else it will be on 28th!

    Have a good day and I'll inform you of any changes!

    Thanks Undead Cow for your support! :) I hope you were happy with the last version of the game fixing some of your issues?

    Also, if you still have some things you would like to change, just tell me and I'll make it appear in the next build! :D

    Thank you really much again!

    Congrats on the submission! Looking forward to this and hoping it's released sooner (21st) rather than later.

    The work you guys put into Poker Tower was apparent and I will be interested in seeing the reception it gets. It seemed to come a long way in a short time. Poker Tower is a clever idea that seems well implemented and polished.

    Thanks Guise! Looking forward to get your thoughts about the game! :D I really hope to get it out on 21st!! (Not only it is sooner, but on 28 there's Real Racing 3, and I won't have any chance to get it reviewed nor getting good sales on that day! ^^")

    Well guys, it seems that the name "Poker Tower" is already being used in the App Store... someone have another idea for me?! (This person will get a promo code of the game once it's released!)

    Don't need a promo code but these spring to mind:
    8-Bit Poker Tower
    Tower Poker
    Poker Tower Match
    Match Poker Tower

    Or only Poker Towers? This way I keep the name and it stays relative to the game? Or, based on your suggestion, Poker Bits?

    Poker Bits is catchy—definitely the best option so far. Maybe we can hear from LordGek or some of the beta testers?
