Yay!! We've made it!

Top 64 out of more than 9000 applications!

The next app star competition is organized by Microsoft and the selection was 50% user votes, 50% Microsoft judges.

Unluckily our "payed" version made it, not our Free version, which are equivalent (except for the banner)

You can the the brackets http://nas.newwp.it/4J8A97K
Voting is a pain in the ass, you can't vote directly for match-ups..
We'll I guess it's fair, but I don't see myself going through all apps, installing, testing and vote.

The prices are good but we are probably out on the first round!

Our opponent is a tower defense and those are hugely popular and this one has good prod value, lots of eye candies.
But no reason to be bitter, may the best apps win!

Getting top 64 got us a 600$ phone, so that's awesome !
Next round price would only be a wireless charging pod of 70$..

Later rounds starts to be more interesting.
Some 300$ home speaker with bluetooth/NFC/wireless charging for the phone
A Sony Vaio laptop
Then some Advertizing...
A trip to USA for a Microsoft conference.

A the winner gets a prime-time TV ads...

Not bad as this is all cumulative!

No, I think it's impossible for us to pass the first round.
The system is made so you can choose what you will vote for, so you have to vote for all the match-up and that make it so the people will just select the one with the shiniest screenshots .
And I don't want to start vote whoring (as in this case, its more than just pressing one vote button).
We would have a chance against many other apps but this is sparkles and tower defense with much longer time in the store and a large fan-base =)

But it doesn't matter, top 64, that's cool enough!
I'm sure less than 1% of the voters will actually try the game/app before voting.

Good question

It's a puzzle game set in a dungeon.

here is an old review:


This was the beta, the UI has been redesigned!
