We are on the same page. Our second app was a puzzle game that (we feel) is WAY better than some of the games they have featured right now. It's entertaining, endlessly playable, and has multiple levels of difficulty. It's a new puzzle game that nobody has really played before, but we're losing to games of much lower quality.
Plus, our downloads are very low, but I blame this on the fact that there's a single "Brain & Puzzle Game" category for EVERYTHING!
I could scroll for an hour and probably never see my game.
The "Just In" category was all that I had, now, I don't even see a way to get noticed at all after getting pushed out of there (which I did by someone who posted about 50 different crossword puzzle apps in one day)
Very frustrating, but I too am sticking with Android for the long haul.
I was thinking about trying to advertise with AdMob maybe - so our paid game shows up at the top of some other free games.
- metachris 17y ago> after getting pushed out of there (which I did by someone who posted about 50 different crossword puzzle apps in one day) This is a real problem on the Android market; I experienced that myself. In almost all categories there are people pushing 10 or 20 (mostly poor) apps in one day, driving all others out of the first pages... Maybe a submission timeout would help. This is problem is avoided pretty well by Apple's approach, although I prefer the open market of Android.
- trajan 17y agoFWIW - every roughly 2 weeks, an update to your app pushes you to the top of the Just In list.
