Universal Polara - (by Hope This Works)

Hey bytebrain though it is a great idea, something like that would takeaway considerable time to implement and Im not sure if we will be able to do that or not. I will open it for discussion in the company, but I can't promise you anything. As you said, it's not really the norm in these types of games and since it is a mobile type of platform, these type of feature usually get left on the shelf due to cost and time vs brevity of production to ensure we actually make some money in order to live.

We are getting a number of requests and dumping them all on the one coder we have is a little unfair. So we will compile what's been requested and discuss what may or may not be allowable in the time we have for updates, etc.

Glad you and your kids are enjoying it though! and way to go on getting #2 on gravity wave, that mode is definitely the hardest of them all I find.

 

That's awesome of you to say! Though this sale is to help us rise back up in the store rankings because at the 3 dollar price point we weren't moving enough units to remain in the major public eye. People either don't trust us, don't know about Polara or only have a dollar to spare, so we need to bolster the life of this app again so please, by all means tell others to get it now if you can to help us remain in the public eye. Sure we lose a couple bucks per sale but in the end the longevity of being in the top of the charts will balance the profit 'loss'.

As I stated before, we're very small and very independent. This game was made with our own money, time and passion and we can't afford to ostracize the public with a premium price at this point. No reputation means people will not bother.

 

This worth my buck??

 

300+ posts half of them filled with praise, rest just talking about the game isn't recommendation enough?

 

I just needed you, Urthop, to tell me that it was indeed worth my 99 well-earned pennies. I thank you, my friend.

 

Have you given it a try yet Ninjackid? Was the dollar worth it?

 

Love it game but it is difficult to play on an iphone 5 because your hit boxes are moved so far in. Hopefully an update is coming soon.

Edit: Just read post on previous page. Thanks.

 

It's actually in Apple's hands right now and will be deploying as soon as they ok it!

 

That was fast!

Seriously, I hope this game does well for you because I'd love to see more from you guys. it is that good. Good luck.

 

Thanks Cygnet, it's an uphill battle for sure... a lot of frugal tastes, prejudice, and massive gobs of competition make it definitely tough to be recognized. But we appreciate all the compliments we've received so far. It's make or break time my friends!

 

Im also hoping that Polara sells well that it could fund your next project as well. Looking foward to what you guys could pull off in the next projects.

 

Thanks, that's the goal for sure... I would love to be able to open up a proper studio and actually make full fledge console titles, but that's a major pipe dream... right now, just making a salary is the goal

 

I think anyone who has played Polara hope you guys make a success of this game and can't wait to see what is in store from you in the future.
Reviews are very positive and given the sheer amount of content for the full price this is a steal, but I appreciate you need a track record to be able to command a price over $1 in the AppStore!
One small point, are you able to make the HTW games logo retina as it is really noticeable when loading the game?
Good luck with the sale and hope to see lots of new buyers on the leaderboards.

 

I'm workin on the retina update to the gfx, but there's only so much I can get done in a day haha but that will have to be addressed as well and will be.

 

Just decided to drop by and say what a fantastic game this is! An insane amount of content, extremely creative with new gameplay additions in every levels, rarely do I find a game so imaginative. I do hope it sells well as it deserves it, obviously a lot of attention and thought went into each level.

 

GiHubb, thanks for the positive words my friend Again, the trust level surrounding our game is very awkward... people think it's an evil money grabbing IAP ridden boring endless runner... Sad and unfortunate, but we'll get there with help from people like you. If you help spread the word it would be priceless.

Cheers for all the kindness!

 

K put it in there with the Halloween sale message. What else should I do, run naked screaming through the streets?!? hahahaha

 

No kidding I thought about getting a costume made and hiring a model and have her hand out QR codes in Toronto Union Station during rush hour hahaha But you can only give so many codes away and have to update... I hate that Apple limits you to how much YOU can hand out your product.
