cool ! good for you :)

we also noticed that the review times are again at just ~48 hours

one thing makes me wonder though - why 17th ? it's wednesday, is that a better day to release ?

It'll make a fantastic example showcase for cocos2d.

How much? (ah yes that question).

1.99 USD. Aggressive price but, well, there is no publisher in the middle...

This is a 100% indie title!

For whats on offer that's really amazing value for money.

I'm glad you didn't succumb to the lure of publisher money (and promises).

Just got it off the appstore, VERY nice game, superb polish all-round and music is fantastic.

Well done.

Downloading now! Thanks for letting me beta test :)

Only one negative comment, could you have waited until next week we'd have liked a shot at the number one spot ;)

Congrats! Been watching and waiting for this one to come out for a while. I just bought it and downloading now. The only negative is I will be playing your game instead of working on mine!

Just picked it up and left a 5 Star review. Great graphics, Animation, and Gameplay. Just started playing but everyone pick this up! It really shows off how powerful the cocos2D engine is! Back to playing :)

@Zombie

I just bought it! Congrats on completing the game. Very professional production and highly polished. Loved the ragdoll physics and splatter engine. It gives me inspiration to create a high quality game. Best of luck on the app store!

Storming up the US charts and without even being featured! Congratulations.

Have a quick read of the negative doodle jump comments, it helps put the inevitable 1 and 2* reviews into context not that you'll be getting any of those any time soon.

lol: Just read the "Can't wait to see what they'll add" comment, like there's any room left :D

We already got a 2 star rating: Game is too hard.

We knew that would happen and we hate too easy games. Be a man and fight!

Can you do a post on your marketing at some point? You guys were everywhere leading up to launch. Even though I have the beta I wish I could download it now. But it's over 20MB and I won't be near wifi until 5pm :(

Congratulations!!

TUAW have just posted a good review about your game!!

http://www.tuaw.com/2010/03/17/hands-on-with-zombie-smash/

Please feedback us how this review helps to boost your sales.

All the best!

1. I noticed "Until" is missing in the introduction to Zombie Bruno. It should be "Until then..." not "Then you..".

2. Back buttons are nearly always on the left side why is yours on the right?

I'm going to change my 5 star rating to 1 star because these are fundamental flaws.

Yes I am kidding, some of the reasoning given in these reviews defy belief.

As we are just started to sale it, it will be hard to quantify how much the tuaw review helped.

@mhussa: point 1. is add to our bug system. Point 2 not. I like them where they are :)
Hope you can increase the rating to two stars after the next update :)

@Knighty I will write post about how we did it both development and marketing wise. We ignored a lot of advice like produce many games quickly etc...Let's see how it turns out.

Feedback is not so bad so far ;)

"Feedback is not so bad so far ;)" = Understatement of the day!

On release day and you're in position 53 on the US top 100 games (and climbing) without a publisher.

Looking forward to your post :)

abitofcode - I don't know where you're checking, but MajicRank shows Top 24 Action, Top 34 Arcade which I guess is around Top 130-150 games

Gonna break into top 100 soon I guess :) Good luck zombie ! Tiki Gods keep their toes crossed ;)
