That does sound like a good idea, and fun too...but you really might want to consider working on your next project, especially if sales are going down instead of up. Your time is money, so use it wisely.
The most obvious ........ was missed. Fwish! I tried your paid version. Everyone is giving you advice on how to fix /improve your game. Everyone missed the (absolute) obvious feature of your game. SHARKS HAVE ( little or ) NO AFFECT ON SUBMARINES! I am really surprised no one else gave you this piece of advice? Change the submarine with a scuba diver. Every time the diver bumps into the shark or see urchin he/she oozes a tiny bit of blood. ( like an octopus) This would explain the following of the sharks when the diver moves away. When the diver ( the game ends) he/she bleeds more profusely and all the sharks start to fill up the screen and the blood and sharks cover the entire screen. Great way to fade into the next game. The submarine removes the tension and fear element of being eaten by sharks. Fwish if you change the sub to a diver your game will be oh so much more realistic. Fwish, remember this peace of advice will cost you 1 favour when the time comes. You are immolating a real life situation. In game design it is always best to listen to the story you are trying to tell. It provides answers. After sex the second best seller is blood. Jeff Syndicated Puzzles
Yes my math was wrong> If you combine sex and blood that would push blood in to the third position. Thanks eugekava for the math lesson!
sex + blood + blowin' sh*t up = $$$$ So what story does that tell you? Oh man, I can't believe I just typed that... But sadly, it's true...
wow,such a great idea,should I change the name to beauty vs shark? but hte question is, the sub is very tiny in the screen, in this size, if changed to a driver,how could I use animation to make it believable? don't even mention bikini girl, how can user tell that is a bikini girl? btw, I want people to play my game because it's fun, not because of other things
Fwish, Stick to the diver and the tiny scale should be an advantage. It should make things easier not harder, leave the subs as well but have some diver episodes as well. Put the diver episodes up front of your app.
I would think so best still if it's random anothing is to choose the character, some like sub, some like diver male/female, maybe can run a contest to ask gamer to create a speacial character or something
yes, choose character maybe great,and I just got a idea that,I should use mermaid,she will be cute and lovely. and only user finish at least one challenge mode level,and earn himself a cup, then he can choose the mermaid instead of sub. how's that sound? sorry, jeff (I said a lot of sorry to you today,but you did inspire me,thanks a lot)because of the look of shark in my game,maybe horrible is not an option. I guess I will pass those bloody thing, make it more delightful
just went to your website ans saw your new app idecide so nice looking, actually We (my colleagues) are using this idea for our lunch location manually hope yours will get approve by apple soon. can't wait to try it out.
