Rationale - iPhone and iPad Gaming

I'm sitting here with a cat on my lap the day after Christmas. We also celebrate Channukah, but Xmas was the big gift day this year. I tell you this because 2010 marked the first year that I didn't get any iTunes gift cards in my stocking (yet). Does that mean the game market is slowing? I'm not sure.

Last time I spoke with Howard, we were discussing developing Buzz Ball for the iPad and/or adding some refinements. We didn't create something like Angry Birds because we weren't bright enough. But I think there's still an opportunity to do some lucrative work in the app market and will be looking ahead to do so.

If you have suggestions on how we can make Buzz Ball better, put a comment in the show notes. We love to hear from our users.

Best,

Jeff

FRANCE!

According to sales figures of BuzzBall in Europe, our game is selling like mad in France. Viva le app store!

We're currently working on updates to the game and also on other products for the iPhone and for the Android platform. If you have games or apps you'd like to see developed, please leave a note here in the comments.

Thanks!

Wiffle Ball

We're in negotiations with Wiffle Ball to brand BuzzBall as that game. Would be fantastic for all involved.

Keep an eye on this blog for more info. And we'll figure out a way to allow existing owners of BuzzBall to get the new Wiffle Ball-branded iPhone app.

Thanks!

More reviews rolling in - update coming

We've gotten reviewed in CANADA too!

And the first set of updates is coming soon. Among the changes are improved gameplay, some tweaks to scoring and rewards in Target Mode, and a sound toggle.

Stay tuned for a BuzzBall contest that we're going to run around the World Series. Lucky winners will get baseball- and buzzball-related prizes.

Reviews to be released this week

We're waiting right now on two reviewers (and maybe some other big names) to take a look and tell us what they think of BuzzBall.

Go get yours now in the iTunes Store.

If you're a big deal, leave us a comment here and maybe we'll send you a free game code. It's only $.99, so don't take advantage of us.

Hope you're enjoying the game. Later this week we're submitting v. 1.01 with some great fixes and tweaks.

BY THE WAY....BuzzBall is going up in price on November 1. So get your copy today.

For $.99 you'll get all updates forever.

Thanks!

Jeff and Howard
