LMFAO!!! I got 13 listed, not including 3 I knocked off. Will sleep on it and buy tomorrow, expecially after some of Albies reviews
Hi buddy The actual no. is little bit higher than you wrote. Some of games are free and I have already downloaded .So enjoy that free stuff rather thinking about all games..
The worst thing is that they still arent stopping yet. New games are still popping up and only god knows what saturday is going bring with it. I hope its NFS Shift and Fifa 10. Then I`ll be officially bankrupt
this is the way it should be about time someone kicked ass at apple, clearly if they hadnt done this today most of these titles would be gathering dust for weeks! anyways, so far this week ive nabbed (with my personal rating in brackets): New: Aera (8/10) Dungeon Hunter (9/10) Gold Miner Joe (8/10) ZX Gamer (1/10) Sale: Durak (7/10) Katamari (8/10) have my eye on others tho, just awaiting the TOFTT brigade to roll out.
More importantly, how are devs going to sell in all this noise? Imagine your app's been in submission for weeks and then comes out in this avalanche? Toucharcade is the only site that tries to mention these smaller but good polished titles, they will go unheard of at Appgamer, Touchgen, Pocketgamer, SlideToPlay, IGN, etc. Plus with Apple going back to the top 100, they pretty much are going to make Lite versions and hope for the best.
So how many games did everyone purchase since monday? I bought 21 games, out of which 9 were bought in the last 24 hrs. It's crazy, totally getting out of hand..
I feel bad for the individual or small group indie devs, anything they release this past two days are likely to be buried by the flood and missed.
Yeh. Though we can do a lot to help the devs rise up the charts if their game is good. iBlast Moki for the win!
Agreed, especially in regard to indie devs - With the storm of new games that were released yesterday (and are still apparently coming today as well), a lot of the smaller titles I might have normally considered purchasing got pushed to the side beacuse of all of the big titles being released - There's no telling how many "hidden gems" I probably skipped over. And this is coming from someone who lurked around TA and AppShopper pretty much alll day yesterday - people who missed the "gold rush" yesterday probably missed out on discovering a lot of really good apps
Wow so many purchases as well. Ninja TD - pleasant surprise, challenging TD (8/10) iBlast Moki - pure fun and physics puzzler, hyped and well-deserved (10/10) Robocalypse - awesome RTS, safe to say, its the best (10/10) EGO City Invasion - very fun, and hard to put down (9/10) Castle Warriors - 3d galcon, very nice artwork, lags a little on older device (9/10) Boom Brigade - very unique line-drawing game full of action (10/10) Hybrid: Eternal Whisper - hate it or love it, I think its the best of them all, awesome combo moves, engaging storyling and great gameplay (10/10) Against the Fire - not as close to A4E as expected, but still fun (8/10) Faceoff - not nearly what I expected, controls take time to get used to (7/10) Above and Beyond Air Combat - very fun dogfighting game, I prefer over F.A.S.T. (9/10) Crusade of Destiny - I don't know if I love it or hate it, but it was pricey (?/10) *Need more time
I'm the developer of Headhunter (nice to be here!) and can confirm that Apple probably just approved a slew of Apps to get them out of the way. The wait time for approval was supposed to be 14 days, but I was approved in 10. I also have analytics installed on Headhunter and saw that Apple only reviewed my game for about an hour or so... They must be buried. Anyway, a bit bummed to hear that my game was released in a pile with all the others, but what can you do. Hope you guys get around to checking it out. FYI, there's a thread on Headhunter here. I also have a gameplay video on YouTube if that helps you decide whether to buy here.
I hear ya man. My friend and I worked almost 8 months on our game "Super Shock Football" Thread HERE. Only to see Apple throw it in a huge pile of other games. Hard to get your moment in the spotlight with that happening. Hopefully people will be able to find the Gems and get the ball rolling for us
Albie quote from another thread: I'd be interested in some of the vets opinions of the top few games from the weekend.
well, id say Castle warriors, 9000BC, iBlast Moki, Against the Fire One i did not like was Faceoff, but i am sure the devs will improve the controls.
Where can I know the total number of new game of a day and have a quick look on them? And where can I get the prmopt evaluations of a new game?
here's a graph of game releases for the last 60 days. The person who said 400+ read that other site wrong. that was # over a couple of days. The number at AppShopper is 302 on Friday alone. http://appshopper.com/blog/2009/09/21/fridays-avalanche-of-apps/
