Hello all, 

This week my game featured on the main page of the Google Play Store under the Indie Games Festival section. Thankfully, because of this, over 6k people have downloaded my game! It is most popular in Russia!

Unfortunately, some users could not play my game due to a crash on start up (sometimes experienced in the main menu). This was due to an issue with the games fonts, so this week I've learnt a lot about fonts (Unity's TextMeshPro). I did get some negative reviews which is understandable and deserved. However, most players have not found any bugs and are able to play and complete the free levels!

Some players have expressed the need for improved controls and a level intro skip button. This is good feedback. Feedback that I have acted on in this update. One player has asked for Google Achievements which I will implement soon. 

I have never experienced anything like this before. Suddenly going from 1 or 2 players to a couple of thousand, very quickly, is scary! I'm gutted that some players experienced crashes especially when my game was promoted. Not ideal. I've fixed the issues now. Hopefully some people may give my game another chance. Oh well. I move on. It's a learning curve. A learning curve that I will never forget. It will make me a better game developer. I'm very grateful for the free promotion :D

I did though get some really nice comments and ratings. My dad was the first person to buy extra levels in my game :D Thanks to the Google boost, I now have a second customer! So thank you to that person as well as my dad. I'm very grateful :)

As well as bug fixes, this update's focus was to add some cheaper IAP purchases. You can now buy extra levels for as little as £0.99/$0.99. It's the cheapest price to set an IAP purchase on the Apple app store. So if your interested in experiencing some of the other features in my game that are not available in the free levels such as Swinging Shopping Aisles, the Seagull Thief or the Closing Tills feature, you can now buy some of the extra levels rather than buying them all, for a cheaper price. Give them a go!

Thank you so much again for those who have purchased extra levels and played my game :) 

Jake
