    Hi all! This is Burç from Happy Doze. We’re currently experiencing a unique problem with App Store indexing and Apple has been trying to resolve the issue for the past two days. The problem is: if you search for “Planet Runners” on the App Store with a device running iOS 12.0 or newer, it does not come up in the search results. What you can do is to go here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/planet-runners/id1298487179 or just search for our previously released title “BIT QUAKE” and you’ll be able to find Planet Runners by clicking on “Burc Tuncer (Developer)” to list all of our releases.


    This is of course practically a nightmare for us since it’s an error completely on Apple’s side and it basically ruined our soft-launch. As of last month, Apple announced that at least 63% of the iOS 12 compatible devices are in fact running iOS 12. What this means is, at least 63% of our (already very tiny) marketing budget for the currently running ad campaigns, analytical data and priceless press coverage is being wasted. This is the worst launch imaginable and can easily ruin a whole career. Especially if you’re an indie developer and do not have the funds and/or power of a AAA development company. In other words, if you have only one bullet left to shoot.


    Thanks for your patience and keep following us for the updates.

    Hey there!
    Even though Apple did not bother to update us regarding the issue described above, I can confirm that they finally fixed their database issue and Planet Runners is now “searchable” on the App Store, regardless of your iOS version.
