Hi All, Today when I opened AppAnnie I realised that my game got featured at Turkish itunes AppStore in both Arcade and Action in the New Games Category. This is a first for me so got really excited and wanted to share with you. Game links are: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/steve-hopper-action-runner/id1162261386?l=tr&ls=1&mt=8 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.volkan.codenamejackson
Hi Thank You, No to tell the truth! LOL Because it was featured only in Arcade and Action section and in my country Turkish Region so I guess that's why. Not too much happening but still it is an excitement to live this kind of thing. Thanx to Buildbox and Buildbox community. It has only been around 1 month or more maybe I started using Buildbox and I see this kind of thing happening. Seems we need to go for the main page of feature not sub categories. Still nice. Let's see what future will bring.
Congrats, that's a great accomplishment. Did you do any localization or write any emails to the feature team?
Well done. Even if the downloads are not to great, still be happy that apple have chosen your game out of the millions that are on there. Guess it means your tracking in the right direction. all the best...
Hi, Thank You! No I didn't do any localizations only I added all the languages like doing localization but copy and pasted all the meta data from US English language. I have learnt from Steve P. Young that if you do that in some countries you can rank for those keywords like in Spanish kind of thing. So you almost multiply your keywords for different countries. And if you were to use a keyword like flappy bird you wouldn't be able o translate it anyways.
Yes!! Definetly! Believe my that made me more happy than earning revenues (Total Lie! LOL) But still yes it is not only the money but knowing that you accomplished something makes you really happy and like you said Apple picked my game among millions of apps.
Thank You! Yes that is my main aim. Last night I updated my game with different keywords (did some ASO) and also added my game character in the main screen holding a cardboard saying Would You Review Me! Hope that might push some people to review my game. I will also update the game with new levels and some etra features. I think that is the main mistake I did before just publish a game and let it go. We need to polish it during the time to increase retention.
Perfect thinking. I had one game get featured in racing category only in Australia. then released two updates over two weeks, adding new levels over the following two weeks, then bang, apple spread over 6 countries in racing, then the downloads started to improve. All the best with the future of it.
Thank You. Also I feel like game is not finished yet I am planning to make another world with check points and maybe add some extra powerups. I am happy to hear that your game spread around in 6 countries. Good Luck with your games also!!!
Thank You. No they didn't send anything I saw that at appannie webpage at feature section while I was checking it.
No only 2 of them I did with buildbox. Hero Jump Quest and Steve The Hopper. All others I did with Construct2 game engine.
Bro i find some problem in the game while jumping it stuck on the air and die so it would be good if you fix and update the game
