Hey NS,

Since the end of the summer my dad and I have been working very hard on our first iPhone application. It is a game called "Drop!" and was just added to the App Store today. We are very happy with how it came out, and I think you guys will all like it.

Essentially, you have to steer a skydiver (by tilting the phone), in order to avoid obstacles and fall as far and as long as possible. It supports gamecenter, so you can compete with friends, and has 4 unique levels, all featuring interesting obstacles. Each level has a day and a dusk version. the dusk levels come after you complete the first 4 levels. There are also currently 3 powerups: Free life, jackhammer, and disco power (this ones my favorite).

Here is a pic:

Let me know what you guys think! It is important for me to get as much feedback as possible so I can start improving the game and begin to market this thing!

I took two courses over the summer, one where I learned some basic C++ and the other one was specifically for Objective C (iPhone programming). Ever since I have just been learning myself through books, and with the help of my dad, who is also learning (although he has previous programming knowledge). It was fun because we were both new to iPhone programming, so we got to learn together.
 
Yea it was pretty awesome, we had a lot of fun, and it is such a relief to finally see the app in the store!

Here are some more screen shots:

hahaha you guys have 5 stars and 11 ratings most likely from your friends but i think its awesome as fuck i am downloading in right meow. i cannot wait to play it ill give it a 5 star review and mad props. and mad life props for doing it with your dad i find that awesome
 
Thanks for the downloads guys!

Last night the searches weren't bringing up anything in the store, but now it appears to be the top app if you search "drop".
 
looks good, but id say on the graphics, make the parachutist look more natural with the background, instead of making him bolded and such (for example tiny wings)
 
I make $.70 per app sold

apple takes 30% of the original $.99

Thanks for all the support guys! Remember, try and give us a good review/rating, it really helps! Also, if you like it, tell friends/family about it!
 
you dont mind me asking, how much money have you made so far? and what software do you use to create the app? i wanna try this sometime, looks sick
 
i just realized you could make a shitload of money doing this. at 70 cents per download, 1,000,000 ppl dwnld it, thats $700,000 in your pocket. Is that money taxed at all?
 
so when I first read that you invented a new game for other peoples iPhones and you nammed it my iPhone game and the object is to drp their iPhone and the person who owns the iPhone says "My iPhone!" but this is almost as good... good job
 
thanks man

The Game was sitting around #90 today in the actions game category.

I am going to release a free version soon, so hopefully that will help boost sales.

Remember to leave a good review if you buy it, and also to rate it!
 
That's so sick man, I do android Dev but that's a different SDK haha. That certainly is a huge accomplishment though, congrats man!
 
dont have my ipod with me, but this looks like one of those games that you see everyone buying on the iphone. wouldnt be surprised if it got pretty popular. congrats.
 
Haha that's so awesome, I'm really glad you guys like it!

Sales have been pretty good so far, but the first day was by far the best. Soon I am going to explore some marketing techniques such as releasing a lite version, making it the free app of the day (FAAD) or even possibly hiring a company to manage the marketing.

Thanks for all of the support guys, I really appreciate it
