    PR is an acronym for marketing, so any type of marketing like : Twitter, facebook, youtube, or marketing the game on your website. The more places someone markets the game, will be the winner, so if someone does multiple marketing like videoes, blog, review, and twitter, versus just doing one, they will win.

    I'll look at each one individually based also on quality of marketing as well as quantity :)

    So to win the $25 dollar gift card, you minimally write a review for the game in the itunes store, and will market the game via other avenues as listed above

    And yes, a trailer, video or anything is great!

    Nascor: Nice try! :) I'm hoping the game will go live tonight, so fingers crossed!

    I was a huge fan of the Wario Ware game series. Congrats on the game coming out, it looks great. I am sure I will miss the giveaway but at least its only .99 cents. Is that a release sale or will that stay the constant price?

    I'm starting the contest as soon as the game releases, which should be by tomorrow am. As soon as it goes live, I'll be giving out approximately 40 promo codes.

    The first contest will be for the $15 dollar gift card. Simply review the game in the itunes App store and I'll announce a winner by drawing names out of a hat, no bias. (most likely by this Saturday) I will be using your itunes ID to announce the winner.

    For the second contest, for the $25 dollar gift card, I'll give users until the following Wednesday to submit a video, twitter, blog, write a review, forum posts, and do whatever marketing they can. Whatever user does the most marketing, quality and quantity wins the $25 gift card :)

    For videos you can do anything trailers, review, gameplay, doesn't matter. There are no rules for marketing the game, but whomever goes the extra mile will win.

    The game is in review now, so I'm hoping to hear something by tomorrow morning!

    As soon as I hear from the App store that the game will launch, then I will announce that people can start PM-ing for promo codes!

    The game has been accepted to the App store! It will officially release tomorrow, but I can begin giving out promo codes, let the PM-ing begin! I will answer PM's when I get off work tonight, so if you don't hear right away, you will get one. They are first come, first serve, so I will go in order of what time I was PM'd. Thank you and Good luck! I will have approximately 40-45 codes!

    The first contest for the $15 dollar gift card will end this Saturday, so you will have until then to post a review. Whomever's name I draw out of a hat for that will have the gift card mailed to them, and the winner's name will be announced with their itunes ID.

    You can also start promoting the game for the second contest, and I'll probably issue a deadline of sometime next week!

    Good luck to everyone and thank you for your support!

    The game is called "Blink and Die", and I'm trying to reply to PM's on my lunch break!Please if you have any suggestions as to how to improve the game as well, be my guest! I also plan on bringing an artist on board so I can create more "wacky" and "zany" puzzles, these are more action oriented.

    I also plan to add levels, and where necessary make changes to smooth up gameplay if it's an issue

    Thanks so much!

    I also wanted to say that the game doesn't "officially" release until tomorrow, so when you redeem your code, you may not be able to see the game until midnight tonight, but you will still be able to download it so you can review it tomorrow. So go ahead and download it, and when it arrives in stores tonight at midnight or later, you can review it then :)!

    Good luck everyone! Always appreciate honest feedback too and will make changes as necessary to make this a truly fun experience :) There will be many updates for this game to come, so keep your eyes peeled for updates :)



    ALL PM's replied! Still more codes left for the contest! PM me you still have a chance!

    I just downloaded the game. I don't want to be mean, but the name and icon are horrible. It looks like it would be a horror game. You should make a new, fun, bouncy icon and change the name to Minigame Madness before the game is released on the store. You will get many more sales this way!

    Instead of mailing the card, you should just scratch it off and PM the winner the code.

    Thanks SuperMario, that's something that I can easily change, I will work on it for the next update :)

    I did it that way, because my experience with the app store has been that there are a ton of "cute and bubbly" icons and apps, and I wanted it to stand out, and made a theme with the name for the icon.... but I can easily change it

    Any ideas anyone? What do other people think of the icon?

    I can also PM the code for the itunes gift card
