If this isn't a shill, then I've never seen a shill before. And it is even more sad that this stupid employee was also bashing on another developers game, calling it crap. That's just disgusting and you just lost the last of my respect.
I just noticed that brainsolid became very silent. And as I stated before: why should Touch Arcade put any game or genre under censorship? If the game isn't reviewed by the staff, a forum members comes up with a review in the most times. So, TA would be very stupid to do this censorship and it wouldn't make any sense. Every game developer is a potential advertising space buyer. P.S.: I just checked the featured puzzle games of the last two months. There were more indie puzzle features than games from big companies. But, yeah - it is easy to pick out just the big ones. Also, I know that arn, Eli, INSM, VeganTNT and other mods or admins have quite a bunch of puzzle games they love and play, from indie games to games from big companies.
"Censorship" my @ss, what a load of crap. Stop crying wolf when it's clear nothing of the sort is going on here. Reviewers review games they want to review, and there's nothing wrong with that, even if what you're saying were true about puzzle games getting little attention (which is totally false). If this privately owned website chooses not to review your game, then deal with it, don't come on the forum spewing this bull. It's a shame...if your game really were any good then it would certainly get the attention it deserves here in the forums. As it is, I'll never support your company when there are so many hard working, honest and generous indie devs making great games. Even for free I'll never download The Screetch, Color Lines, or anything else you put out.
As I said, list of missed and underrated puzzlers can be continued: Polaris Yumsters Flippin' ColorSwing Chuzzle Piyo Blocks 2 Frenzic H.E.X. Qwing
Chuzzle and Frenzic are definitely not "underrated and missed games". Everyone and their mother has played these. Stop being a douche. I have no idea why you haven't been perma-banned yet.
Wow. You're ridiculous. Thats all you found in last one + year? Seems like TA didnt miss much then. Also I dont see anything even remotely interesting in yumsters, flippin, chuzzle, frenzic, HEX, Qwing. Also I'm pretty sure I can make a bigger list of action, adventure games which didnt get reviewed by TA but has good impressions in the forums. And I wont even need to go back almost 2 years, just a couple of months will be enough to beat your list. So I'm not really sure what is it that you arent understanding here. Puzzler or non puzzler, if TA reviewers like the game it'll be featured, if they dont, it wont be. Thats about it. Your conspiracy theory is baseless and nothing more than getting some attention to your own game (and you might not know but the plan backfired for you the moment you made the first post here.)
So what? It only means other similar and better games have been covered. You don't expect them to cover every single puzzle game out there do you? Chuzzle is too famous to need a review, Frenzic is too old (got a mention in the Ramp Champ review as a great iPhone app), yours is not great. Not only you can't take a non-review, your staff shills and even attacks games by other devs. Poor argument, low integrity.
All that I write in this thread are very polite. But now you start offencing me. About Chuzzle and Frenzic — yes, they are missed for TouchArcade readers, because TA don't reviewed even these definitely hits.
Agree with all of that except I thought Chuzzle and Frenzic were pretty fun. Seriously, man, brainsolid, LEAVE.
You offended me and all the TA members with your shills. You have no respect left from us anymore. Definitely generic you mean
Brainsolid, your brain needs to be cleaned out a little for some logical thinking. I'm sure there are LOADS games out there that are not puzzle games which don't get a TA review and thought that they are good enough to warrant one. Regardless of genre, your game doesn't stand out enough for a front page review. Face it.
This list can be continued by many titles, but I think that this is work for TA reviewers. Devil Invasion Spooky Spirits Heron: Steam Machine Puzzlegeddon Rowtopia iGem Colorix Line Up
If this continues every dual stick shooter out there will demand a front page review because some of them got reviewed.
Honestly? Let me put this in simple terms: Your employee was banned for shilling. There are tons of puzzle games. Not every single App Store game can be fully reviewed by TouchArcade. It's difficult to maintain a list of puzzle games, yet alone write reviews about them.
