Great Work Xaron. Looks very nice!

Hihi, thanks Sung. Congratulations and thanks for the awesome graphics, because that was your part! :)

Any chance of a Kindle Fire version? It looks gorgeous!!!


Xaron(Posted 2012) [#5]
Well why not. Is there anything special to make it work on a Kindle Fire? I guess I must submit it on the Amazon store? This would be a no go at the moment as we from Germany are exclusively excluded from this. lol

The kindle fire -is- an android tablet. Just because it does not have android market doesn't mean it can't run android apps (that is, any apps that don't require superior hardware).

The unofficial way: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2396276,00.asp

In theory to do it officially (not used it yet myself) all xaron needs to do to do is just to submit his apk to amazon's store as well as googles.

I'd do that but I can't because Amazon rejects devs from Germany at the moment because Apple has the rights on "Appstore"...


D4NM4N(Posted 2012) [#12]
That sucks more than a little bit. It seems the german courts and government is bending over for apple at the moment.

Yes that's totally stupid. Our german courts are a bit behind the curve when it comes to New technologies...

You could always do an ad based version until things change.. and get a friend to upload it. Ads do not get you much but will boost your presence.

I would do it for you but do not have a dev account on amazon.

Just a short info: This baby takes off like hell. Incredible.

Having more than 2,000 downloads per day for Android (lite version):

at the moment:

downloads lite: 17,294
downloads full: 558

And that's all within a month. Not that bad! We will expand this game now with much more features.

We are now at place 22 in the Arcade Top Seller Section! WOW. Page 1!

Nice one!

With those figures try tweaking it so that you are offering a little less with the lite version to encourage them to register.
Take advantage of the spotlight.

After 7 weeks since the launch we crossed the 100.000 downloads for the german lite version! That's awesome, never thought it would be that many!


Xaron(Posted 2012) [#21]
Just released an update for Android with a new game mode including salvo shots, bomber and mines. This makes it much more faster!

I've added Openfeint as well. Multiplayer will follow!
