All codes have been redeemed. If you are still planning on posting more, I would love to have one. Thanks!
I recommend not to have ads to come up until after several deaths. Some people will immediately get turned off by the ads without even really trying the game. Let them first get hooked into the game then give them ads.
I uploaded a new version just now that holds back the interstitials. But are they really that bad? I only use chartboosts static interestials, I find them very discrete and are quick for the user to dismiss. Anyway, 10 more promo codes added. Let me know what you guys think about the game FYRPRAJN9AML 9A9MY37FHA6E LHW4F3NHEXXR NW4TKH6K749A X7LYL4FNXX6R KA7K74FMK9FA KR9X34J7RPT9 PEY3AMTLMJ36 AJYYJFWFRPAT HATN33JHAE6A
An addicting, frustrating little game! LOL!! I almost got in trouble today because I was playing it while waiting in line for a new ID on a military installation. I think I yelled something like; "quit blowing up those spots!" I quickly had to say... "An iPad game! An iPad game!" LOL The ads are quite frustrating. How much will ad removal be? Thanks!
Hahaha! Hope no one got hurt The ad removal will be the lowest possible,"tier 1", I think that's about USD 1.00. I don't want to turn anyone off because of the ads. Would you say the ads are more annoying than most other ios games? Which are worse, interstitials or banner ads?
My app is being released later tonight, here are some more promo codes if you want to try it right now FPJHFPP3PXMA HFWY7LNAHJY3 6WHWF6JAJTMN A6FXHWHRTA4W WAKHJXN4XF66 X76MH97YAYNP 4KA46P77AFLX WA649LKYXWRA FWT7KJRLKEJJ RN63PYX4Y4MP
I wanted to play some more before responding so that I could give you better feedback. I agree with Coolpepper that the ads should not start immediately. Give the player some time to get to know the game and like it so that they will want to either purchase the ad removal iap or play despite the ads. Keep in mind, that there are many people who will never purchase iap's or games etc., regardless of the dev's hard work. For them, your only small revenue will be those ads. Getting them hooked on the game before the ads start is beneficial. And no, I would not say the ads are more annoying than most other ios games. And of course I think they're frustrating. They're suppose to be so I'll want to purchase the ad removal iap! LOL Interstitial versus banner ads: they both have an equal ammount of annoyance. Just make sure that the banner ads don't appear near the controls and that pop up ones don't pop up during game play. So... your fine. The ones I really hate are the interstitials that are videos that you can't close until it's finished! But.... no complaints if there's an iap for ad removal. What's worse, is when a dev leaves ads in a PAID app. That dev is nothing more then a thief. But obviously, this is always up for debate. So I will say nothing more on that subject... LOL The game. As I said before, I do love the game. I really love how when the goat is falling, his legs are still moving! LOL It's a great high score chaser. Unfortunately, sometimes high score chasers become monotonous. That being said, i would suggest that you also have different animals or characters that players can earn by how high they go, or scores, or coins if you added them. If you want extra work, you could change the background also, ie: sheep would land on clouds, elephants on peanuts, a dog on a dog bone, Monkey on a banana, pig on a frying pan.. (KIDDING!!)... Having different characters can give players an incentive to keep playing. As it is now, it is a great game but a temporary one for me. But don't take that the wrong way. It's still a cute game. And later, I will pay for the iap to support the dev. Especially because I think it's great when a dev comes here to the forums and listens to what others have to say and is active. Thank you for that. And good luck to you!!
I agree that it's not very motivating to have an ad show up immediately after the first try. I've already sent in a new version fixing this. Yeah I am not a big fan of video ads, I want to try this reward video thing for my next project, but only if there's a significant increase in ad revenue. Thanks! Glad you enjoy it! It would be fun with some more highscore rewards. You do get rewarded with up to 4 companions. An if you listen closely, they are they are doing this little dark knight rises chant http://youtu.be/sjRo-c-8cL8?t=58s
