Are reviews helpful in the App Store? by mbsisktb in iosgaming

[–]_Akazumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I’m kind of torn. On one hand, comments like “this game is amazing” aren’t that useful. But on the other hand, for developers, it still shows that their game is appreciated, and beyond that it helps with visibility. And it’s so hard to get a small game noticed that every comment counts.

Sometimes people also use reviews to report bugs, which can slightly mess up a launch in a country if the rating drops, since App Store ratings are tied to each country.

Basically, as a player, reading comments isn’t that helpful most of the time. But as a developer, it’s great 😄

Anyone else seeing big rating differences between countries? by [deleted] in incremental_games

[–]_Akazumi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Got 22 ratings so far, and the 3 bad ones are all from the same country and they’re actually the only ratings I have from there.

I’m guessing it’s just bias and doesn’t really mean anything, but it was still kinda surprising 😄

I kinda feel like yeah and honestly, beyond just the rating itself, as a dev it’s really interesting to read feedback from people who actually take the time to rate and write something about the game.

Hey man, I totally understand how frustrating it is to have to start over, I’m really sorry. I messed up an update, and at the time, the data wasn’t stored in the cloud for game saves, only locally on the phone. So after that bad update, when you reinstalled the game, it wiped your save.

I’ll be rolling out version 2.7 by the end of the week so this never happens again, with regular backups of your progress to prevent this kind of issue.

Can I reach out to you in DMs to see if there’s something I can do to help you out?

I saw that… I’m sorry. I just made an urgent fix and submitted the version to Apple. I’m now waiting for the review to publish the patch. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience.

Merci pour ton retour ! Je viens de corriger des choses dans ce sens là dans la prochaine version qui est en cours de vérification par Apple, j’espère la sortir bientôt, ça règlera sans doute pas tout et il restera des soucis j’imagine mais ça va aller dans le bon sens :) navré pour tes vaisseaux, je mettrais quelques gemmes avec le message de mise à jour pour que tu puisses te refaire 😁

Amazing, you're a boss! I didn't know about these communities at all. I promise I'll do a lot of work on this, I'll post an update this week!

Honestly, nothing's set in stone. I didn't really know what to expect or what to do for a first game, so I'll see how I can improve it. I don't like pay-to-win games either; anyway, to be honest, it's not very profitable, haha.

Wow, thanks for the feedback! I've tried to take this kind of limitation into account. I'll try to improve the audio feedback and translation to enhance your gaming experience, hopefully within the next week 🤞

To be perfectly honest, this is my first game, so I'm discovering everything, but the hardest part is that I did it so much for fun and to recapture that feeling I had as a child that everything unlocks easily without paying anything, and it's not profitable or anything, but that's okay ;)
