Oga you or you p-man be jazz man/baba lawo?



BTW very nice one

When I grow up, I want to be like you op... (waiting to see how your in app purchases first work tho'.. Hope nothing unreasonable)

Though I think 3d building is too much for me. Too much math

We didnt implement in app purchases tho....maybe when we upgrade

As at present its free to download n play

Thanks for All ur support

Op, didn't want to reply until actually testing it. My chinko sadly doesn't have the power to run it smoothly, so couldn't get very far. Anyways, as I love to hear the sound of my voice (metaphorically) a few notes pls;

-A few typos. Eg, evill and misterious

-That Unity camera seems to be doing an awful job. Yes, I know. Fixing that would likely be a mean feat, unless they have other viable options out of the box. But even at that, you'd still need to do another round of testing, etc. And the camera might be bad only on my chinko and its likes, with their (somewhat, at times) crappy hardware simply incapable of keeping up.

(I will try on an emulator later though. You could post apk here if you're inclined so others can directly install/play. Only technically savvy would be able to install it, therefore it shouldn't effect your ratings/usage stats on google play.

Then again, I make this request simply because I'm lazy and therefore may be lying. Maybe not so many users have problems installing apks directly. So, if you think it will affect the numbers, don't post the apk. I'll extract it when I'm cured of my lazytitis, less busy etc)

-Little tutorials as to how the game mechanics work may help? (Again, I didn't get very far, so you may have already added that... rendering this suggestion useless.... anyhoo)

-It does say it features in app purchases. Maybe one of you dudes ticked a check box accidentally

That said, I'm definitely not saying in app purchases are somehow bad. I purchase them myself on games like say NSS, but implementation is sometimes rather poor (even NSS handles some aspects of it absolutely horrendously. I do think they make more money on that model though, but they had to suck us into the system first by giving us near free 'trials' for a few years, getting us hooked. If they hadn't done that, don't think they'd have been successful). Man must wack, and deservedly so. I just hope that if and when you implement, you do so 'reasonably' (<- note, reasonable is subjective).

Options abound. Eg, you could have a paid version available, even now, which gets rid of those pesky ads. That may generate a wee bit of revenue. Eventually, like you stated earlier, add in app purchases just as NSS did (which hopefully get rid of those pesky ads as well , even if just for a period of time) for certain nice but non-essential perks. Eg added powers of a sort, extra levels etc.

^^^ Note, all above; speaking out of my behind

More grease to your elbows. And you seem to have used contextual music to great effect in the little time I spent with it, that's excellent!

Good lucking with future endeavors

not sure, but I think most local banks give one the option to use visa/master along with ATM. eg I do most of my transactions using an access bank stm card. it's fastest on Google plat sef, less than a minute no hassles, and theyve deducted the cash, given receipt etc

Google at least acknowledges 9ja exists and tries to integrate. unlike a certain other company

with those clowns I once had to claim I was from Niger in order to get what I wanted. and guess what? it worked... so much for the fabled apple security.

Lol at Niger
the platform isnt really the main issue...the banks do a good job.. its the culture of paying for virtual products and services that isnt ingrained yet. the choice to charge for your apps regardless how small cuts your market base by a lot

FREE is readily welcome... i believe as it grows the market will change

Hmm. sadly, you do have a point.

Applying the option though, that is both free and paid without ads, shouldn't affect those after the free version. Alas, I doubt many would understand that due to cultural reasons as you state. And perhaps it's not worth the hassle of extra development, even if it's just removing some plugin or the other.
