    I'm going to be honest right now... But I haven't played all that much. I'm only in the 3rd planet at the moment :'(

    I've been ridiculously busy with work these past few weeks and haven't played much of anything (but I think you'll be happy to hear SOS is in the top three for amount of time I played)

    I still haven't even unlocked myself!

    This also accounts for my inactivity here (I really wish I could join the fun more!). I'm hoping the last few days of the week and this weekend will provide ample time for me though

    But as of now my favorite is still the classic Rubber Pleasures :D

    Rubber Pleasures' title sounds naughty, but it's my favorite track (so far...)



    And here's some more virtual biscuits for the group to munch on

    (Also: I think the 'Rubber pleasures are a reference to the rubber keyboard of the ZX Spectrum. But never let facts get in the way of a good double-entendre I say!)

    Oops - this was on the previous page!

    I don't know why people say they're not doing well - you seem to be doing great!

    And all those sheep saved! Yay! I wish I could count everyone's total sheep saved - that would be awesome :D

    I can't recall which game it was now, but one of those silly baloon pop or similar game that did indeed report "X items popped worldwide!" which was pretty neat.

    That would be pretty awesome I think!

    Ok! It's 5am - It's been a crazy few days and I think I need a nap at least!

    Keep saving sheep! :D

    QS =D

    EDIT: And of course, being 5am, I just had a brainwave.

    It requires a working GC thingy though, so I'll wait till that hits!

    Hello! Hope you're all well!

    I just wanted to thank everyone again for their reviews! Rich, yours turned up on the US store! Thank you for the kind words :D

    In the UK, I got what is my fave review so far (for obvious reasons I'm sure!):

    Thank you Madman1702 if you're reading this - that was awesome!

    Hope you're all well! I'm going out to dinner with the Aunty Sheep later. She knows the *best* fields to graze in!

    But I'll be on later if people want to chat/have questions etc!

    You guys!

    YOU GUYS!

    *sheepyhugs*

    I'm a bit in shock really. I went out for dinner, and came back to see someone mention this to me!

    I thought they were joking at first - I went and checked and there it is!

    I had no idea actually if it was a good thing to be on there - someone told me it was like the old 'New and Noteworthy' section - which is great, but never really put the game in front of players.

    Then a fellow dev said 'Actually, that's awesome - it's exactly where everyone wants their game to be.'

    And I kinda went weak at the knees a little! :O

    It's lovely to be recognised like this by Apple, and it means a lot. But I always thought that this thread was full of loveliness anyway - this just adds to that I guess :)


    If I may, I ask only one thing of you all, if you'll hear me out... just one favour...

    If you think the game has given you some joy/happiness/entertainment, I'd like to ask you to turn the game on, and leave the intro animation playing on your device.

    Then, gently, please pick up your phone/ipad.

    And give it a little hug.

    The game will really appreciate it!

    Thank you - you guys are so lovely!

    I'm still in a daze over the last few days (see what I did there!?).

    I'm not sure how the featured ranking works, but I went into the store and went to all featured games to see this and then opened the app from there hoping it would count as a view or something.

    Just when it seems this has little chance outside of the fans of classic style games  goes and surprises us.

    Hello!

    Nobody really knows how it works - but I don't think it has anything to do with people clicking/tapping on it (otherwise I may have accidentally done that myself. About a thousand times ;))

    (and bless you for trying - that's lovely!)

    I think Apple surprised us all - me especially! Fortunately not in the 'BOO! WE WERE HIDING UNDER YOUR BED' way, but in a really lovely way instead :)

    *checks under the bed just in case*

    OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!

    I tinkled in my pants and dropped my phone when I looked at the featured section not even 30 seconds ago!

    Congrats!


    Time to go wash up....

    Talking of lying down, it's 7am - time for a little sleep for this sheep!

    Congrats on being featured. Did it help ? Did you see a big surge in downloads ? Just interested to know how much more that helps, obviously it does but how much ?

    Yes, I'm interested also. It pisses me off when great indie games don't get enough recognition.
