Your Hoppy game is a lot more fun than most of the shit on there, I reckon you could have made a bucket load of money with that game if you charged even a small amount.

Yeah, kinda dumb not to have put a price tag on it, to be honest...

I wasn't comfortable sticking a price on something so mindbogglingly simple, but.. I think in future, Mr AGameAWeek is going to have to start being stingy!!!

I'd love to do a "Deluxe" edition of the game, with badges and proper level subsets and things. .. Not sure how much I can change it, though, without breaking what makes it fun in the first place.

Got a workmate hooked on Hoppy Bobby (Android) and then Spike Dislike 2 (Android), which he purchased for himself.

Got another workmate hooked on Spike Dislike 2, but when I told her it wasn't free, she (iOS) just sneered, "Well, that's stupid!" Yet she's perfectly happy to make pointless IAPs. Boggles my mind, it do.

All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.

Aye, people have gone crazy!!
Every game should come on cassettes with a £1.99 price tag slapped in the corner!

...and now I have a sudden urge to change my DVDCase into a Cassette Cover!

Angry Birds was mindboggingly simple.

|edit| I guarantee many developers or even players first reaction was, "why the Peking-Duck didn't I think of that!". |edit|

Figures...

After day one, Hoppy Bobby iOS has had 209 downloads.
Hoppy Bobby Android has been out for about a week and a half, and currently has had 87 installs.

.. Considering the game's free on both sides, and each has had about the same amount of "advertising" (ie, a few tweets, and bog all else) I'm not entirely sure if that's significant or not!!
I will say, however, that Android users seem to post more reviews.. (7 Android vs 1 iOS). This might be due to the fact that Devs can actually reply to the bloody things on Android... :/

Oops. I didn't know it was available on Android. I felt really left out for awhile.

About to play it now.
