   @indy2005: Yes, we used Box2D. The tracks have been designed with our own little graphical editor written in C#. The editor itself directly exports track description with can be read by Stick Stunt Biker.
   Everything in the track is a single Box2D body with multiple shapes attached to it.

   I wish I knew how to do that. I really want something as good as LevelSVG, it's just so out of my price range. :/ Great job!
   I just left a review on the game in the UK app store. ;)

    Such an editor is rather simple to make, takes not more than 1 - 2 hours if you are familiar with C#.

    Hi,

    Thanks. So the tracks elements are all multiple fixtures in one body? I thought multiple fixtures per body had to retain their position relative to each other, and you have things like rope bridges?

    Well then, too bad I am not familiar with C# :/ .... may just have to muster up enough bucks to get it.

    can you attach sprites to your track to make i more visually appealing? (I mean.... 'easily' attach them?)

    @indy2005:

    You are of course right.
    Every static line in the track is a fixture connected to a single common body. But bridges are multiple objects with multiple fixtures attached to it.

    @duckwit if your interested in C# search for C# express edition, it's free and will get you started. Only a few things the express version can't do, mobile development for windows platform etc.

    Robert Szeleney, why does that sound familiar? Oh just looked are you the skyos guy?

    Did you do any advertising to get to the top or did it just start climbing the charts as soon as you released it? Any tips would be great help.

    @odinseye I think he is doing that good because he has a good portfolio of games. So release a new one, and announce about the new game on older ones, as already thousands-millions of people have download them.

    Congrats for the success!

    Robert,

    Great game! Im surprised it got so popular. A really good thing about it is that its not perfect - i mean it has a lot of room for improvement, so if you release a few more updates (polish up gameplay + more levels), and do some promotion around that, you will stay high on the charts for a long time!

    May I ask, did you do any publicity other than review sites, or is that it?

    Thanks guys, we are happy that so many people like Stick Stunt Biker.

    @Artur: I didn't do any real publicity. Just posting a few promo codes here and there, but this doesn't really drive sales at all.
    Fortunately I have a few more games currently in the top 100 in various categories and countries (Rope'n'Fly 2, RunStickRun, Stick Sports, etc...) where I use cross promotion. (A simple 'More Games' button where you can directly buy Stick Stunt Biker from.) . I'm pretty sure that this has a huge influence on the download numbers. (e.g. If for example Stick Stunt Biker Free is at position #1 US, Rope'n'Fly 2 full game sales increase by around 500% catapulting it directly into top paid at #70).

    To summarize, my experience is cross promotion from your other apps (especially free ones) works best.

    We simple record the pyhsics data for each physic object around 30 times a second. This data will be saved for later used to actually display the ghost.

    Congrats Robert!

    What's the best way to save the array of information that you've captured? I'm current using sqlite for my long term storage. But it feels a bit...clunky.
