Hey everyone. I was wondering if any of you could give us advice with regards to our game. Does our icon sell it? Do our screen shots sell it? To those that we gave the free games to, is the game fun? How is our price-point? We've been told by many players that it is a great game but we'd like to hear from a more critical audience so that we can make any changes necessary to boost our market appeal. As we stand we aren't pulling in huge numbers and as all developers we feel that we are offering a pretty good game

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I think everything you have posted looks appealing. The icon and screen shots are very attractive. While $1.99 is an inexpensive price, it still is not the impulse buy that a 99 cents price brings. Your app store reviews are quite positive, but there is only a little traffic here on the game and I am waiting on web site reviews.

I see! That makes perfect sense.. So since it isn't priced at .99 and it is not an impulse buy then you are more reserved with the purchase and are waiting for reviews to see whether it is good or not. That makes sense. I appreciate your feedback, that is great to know!

From the data we gathered from the people currently playing the game it takes anywhere from 3 - 5 hours to beat the game's story mode once, while that is not long comparatively we do offer a feature that allows you to play the game again and again with increased difficulty, we also offer a different game mode (survival) where you see how long you last against each set of Nightlings (from each level) and we are actually in the process of adding new features such as new game modes and Game Center support.

Hopefully TouchArcade finds our game interesting enough to grace us with a review soon so that it helps people see the potential of our game.

Thanks again.

Looks good, any chance a lite version will be released?

[Shizapp Interactive]

Thanks sugimulm, currently there are no plans to offer a lite version but we did just drop the price from $1.99 to $.99.

I have not seen this at all before today, but it came on my radar with the price drop.

Just looking at the screenshots made it look attractive...but I can tell you that at a glance and skimming the description I still have no idea what type of game it is.

Was just stopping by to try to determine that now.

If I had not have noticed the forum post I may have forgotten about it.

[Shizapp Interactive]

That's a great point! Thank you.. We have updated the description and will work on updating the screen shots to make it more clear what type of game it is. Essentially you have 21 weapons that you unlock and you must tap, swipe and slide to launch, plant and destroy the Nightlings that are trying to make their way into your world from under your bed, your closets, basements and attics.

At a buck, this was a no brainer to try and I am quite enjoying it. The intro is great as are the in game graphics, sounds and music. I have only played a few levels and so far it is pretty easy, but this game just oozes charm.

Thank you slewis7! Glad that you like it. Yeah, the first few levels are warm up levels . Hope you enjoy!
