88, thats sooooooo 40 minutes ago, you're now 77! Picked an island yet? ;)
Seriously goes to show that time spent on testing and polish is worth its weight in gold.

I haven't downloaded it yet, but I wanted to say that it looks awesome. I'm glad to see that your hard work has paid off, too. It's nice to see independent developers rising to the top! Congratulations!

How many times have you checked MajicRank and Appviz in the last 10 minutes? ;)

@hkmars Its fixed but we are already working on an upgrade. So adding some April days is not unlikely
@friken Yes, we do! That's a very good alternative to a publisher. We pay them in full. No rev. sharing. Will write more about that later and make a summary about our whole approach.

@patrickC Don't forget Chipmunk ;) The whole splattering and ragdoll effects makes heavy use of the Chipmunk physics engine. Scott Lembke also gave us great support if we got stuck in optimizations.
@gaminghorror. We work with triplepoint pr. When you are producing your first indie title, like we did, and nobody knows you, you need either luck, a publisher, or a pr company to bring it to peoples attention. But in general non of this works if your game is not appealing for the masses. It all starts with the right game.

MemberCongrats! It sounds like you guys did perfect execution on this game. It's currently #36 of the charts in the US and have been moving up. Just a question for you, was there a lot of customization involved in the Cocos2d and Chipmunk engines to optimize the performance needed? I hope it'll be the first #1 Cocos game.
