    It's a platformer, and I love platformers. It also has a Spartan theme, and I love Sparta. So yeah, I'll probably get it.

    Yes I've been intrigued from the start. I don't know enough about it to say I'll get it but I'm definitely very interested in this game at the moment.

    I like your idea of game pricing. It feels much fairer for the price to rise at first, especially while there are still updates.

    After updates are finished and the game drops out of the top 200 (or something) it should probably go down in price though. Given the extremely short life of the current set of iphone games, it doesn't really make sense for a 6-month/1-year old game to still be selling for the original price.

    Or is that just because I'm a consumer? :D

    In any case, I'm really looking forward to this game. And the Romulus game! Haha.

    I have a few ideas for a game title, if you've not already chosen one.

    Sojourn
    Greco-Warlord
    Honor of Sparta
    Spear and Shield (or Sword and Shield)
    Rage of Sparta

    Anything that's like "... of Sparta" will sound too much like Hero of Sparta and I don't think any dev wants to be accused of trying to copy off another game. The game is not supposed to be like HoS in any way, so people shouldn't think of it when they hear about this game. I'm not bashing your ideas, I'm just saying Rage of Sparta and Honor of Sparta would be WAY too much like Hero of Sparta.

    UNLESS we wanted to sound like "Hero of Sparta" to build off of their success (we don't... well, we do, but we also want to be original.)

    The game is a 2D side-scrolling action game of a Spartan warrior. Player can customize the "heroes" armor and weaponry. We are trying to work out a multiplayer mode with the game, but it won't be in the initial release.

    It's your game, so you can name it whatever you want using whatever promotion strategies you want, but I wouldn't go with a name similar to Hero of Sparta.

    The game is shaping up to sound really cool. Spartan themed, platformer, customizable, I'm really starting to like the idea. By multiplayer you mean online right? Or local wifi?

    The goal is to have online, not just local WiFi. However, it is difficult to properly do multiplayer online, but we are readily working on it.

    iDracula would be FAR more popular with online multiplayer, allowing it to remain in the Top Games section.

    Sadly for them, the update didn't warrant a 2.99 price tag.

    But we know what you mean.

    I love your name MojoArcanus.

    I should make a game about a hip and happening mojo-infused Arcane mage who shoots lightning bolts and rains down fiery destruction as he disco dances.
