Block Rider - REDUX - Major update

Looks cool! Abit like that piano tiles but with a ton of explosions, very cool indeed.

Great, I have a game also so what do you say to a little review exchange?

HAHA, our game is Cocktail Cube Challenge I made a thread for it here Please login to see this link.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it

By the way what did you use to create your trailer? I find that one of the hardest marketing things to create.

Oh that makes sense, which program would you suggest for creating trailers as I only use Windows Movie Maker although I remember using a great video editor when I studied Media in college but can't remember the name of that.

I will watch that video as soon as I can as really need some help with creating trailers.

Let me know when the review is up and I'll do the same for you.

Hi matey,

So I have downloaded it and found a bug on both the main menu and the how to play frame. Roughly every 20-30 seconds it jumps to the advert so if I was to review it that part would minus some stars off for me. I will hold off reviewing till you fix if you want as I imagine it's only a simple thing to sort out.

We are both in Britain ain't we so I imagine it would be 1 here too.

I hate having adverts in my games but it is literally the only way on Googleplay as nobody buys anything.

Hi matey,

Sorry about the wait I tried the game and gave it 4 stars, I like it although at first I wasn't sure if I was meant to tap the word nuke or bomb so died a fair few times from that. The visual effects look awesome.

Sounds messy. Happy I could help, btw would you try my latest title in development Dash Tank Fever?

Well, almost nobody. I myself am extremely wary of free games and almost never install them, since the horrible free2play models have all but killed the enjoyment of mobile gaming for me. I hate ads too. So I pretty much ignore everything on google play that is doesn't have a price.

But I'm aware that I'm in the small minority here, and that most people prefer grindy F2P mechanics and annoying ads than the thought of spending $1

It's not so much that people prefer grindy F2P mechanics on Google Play, it's because pirating a premium game is so easy compared to iOS. Therefore you will find a lot more free games on Google Play that use advertising and IAP to recoup money spent in development. I think there was some report on a paid game that had a 95% piracy rate on Google Play. So you can see why a lot of developers are wary of premium titles.

Good point about the rampant piracy. But that doesn't explain why F2P dominates iOS games too. Many games are made for iOS primarily, and then ported to Android later - certainly most of the major ones - so if they have F2P mechanics on the Android version, it's probably because they were already designed like that for iOS.
