One issue might be your landing page for the game in the App Store.

The static images and their text descriptions do not convey what the game is about. e.g. Platform action, puzzle solving. The description section helps, but I'm not sure how many potential customers go past the images as a first filter.

As someone not familiar with your previous games, it wasn't until I went and looked at the video on your website that I thought that yes, this is something I would find fun to play.

I think the reviews coming out should help to attract customers for you. That is, it will be the review that sells them, and then they'll go and buy your game, rather than making an impulsive choice while browsing the App Store.



Holy crap, you're not going to believe this, but we have a version of that video that was supposed to be on the App Store and you are the first person to point out that it's not there.

I'll go see what the heck happened.

Wow the time I spent hanging out on this thread totally just paid off. Thanks!


Yes, desperately needs to make an app preview video. The screenshots look dull, but a lot of the video looks a lot more interesting and dynamic.


Okay, it turns out that App Store video previews only play on device. So you don't see it on the web or in the iTunes App Store. :/
