Fishing Frenzy

Tintash (my workplace) released Fishing Frenzy (a small fishing game) for the iPhone in early May, It just made it to Top 10 Free apps in the US AppStore today, a big moral booster indeed!

A few things that I noticed in the reviews:

• Thanks for all those 5 ratings (they were 500+ when I checked), it’s huge, we were not expecting such a big success! Thanks also for those reviews which pointed out things we missed, positive criticism is essential to improve.
• and no, mscarim, Daisy99 and tayyba are not the developers, it’s us. Lets just say that they are some well wishers who want all our apps to succeed!
• About the accelerometer controls, definitely calibration will be there in the up coming version. We had touch controls in mind too but had to cut them from this version since it was already going beyond its schedule. (are accelerometer controls really that bad? we had received some really positive feedback from the people we showed it to at GDC, may be we should be doing more R n’ D on input).
• Is the game too difficult? this is perhaps related to the accelerometer issue, because once you get the hang of input controls, one finds it a breeze.
• The game is short, we know, plans are there for a lot more levels and a lot more fish types. 

Have Fun!
