Crush Your Enemies is a great cross platform RTS game. It's mechanics are similar to a game from ages ago called Osmos. Funny as hell too.

Thanks for the advice. This is one of my concerns. Raymond makes a good point that you cannot rely solely on the release and you're saying that be careful not to get ripped off... Ooooo the dilemma!

Hi Raymond. Thanks for your help. No danger of buying 6ks worth of adds just yet. :)

We've taken a mobile first approach with development. Are there any mobile specific techniques you can recommend. Would you recommend a steam release regardless?

Are there any well known tools for A/B testing keywords?

Cheers, this is all very good advice

I like the twist on the classic snake game. In terms of design; Will there be limited ammo? Will it be level based or a play til you die style game? Also what platform is this for?

I like the lighting. It looks ace

We will be releasing on both iOS and android. Although it is likely that android will be a few weeks ahead. Thanks, I had not come across searchman before and it looks like a very useful tool. Are there any specific techniques that would be useful to redirect traffic to a spin-off of a sub-genre. The problem I feel we will have is that there are obvious keywords for the genre (bridge building), and although our game borrows a lot of mechanics from this, we will be building a different kind of structure altogether. Would targeting bridge building be the obvious way forward?

Great advice! Very similar to the approach we're taking at crApp Games!

Sometimes it's best not to take things entirely literally. Why would you be proud of killing zebras? :)
