Preview!

Here's the game that we made in a month... Swipe the Gold!  It will go live in the Apple App Store on Monday, but if you have an Android device you can go get it RIGHT NOW!  Swipe the Gold for Android!  You can also find more screenshots at that link.

This was a hoot to produce and I was responsible for all the art stem to stern.  It's what is called an "incremental" game.  If you've played Cookie Clicker or Make it Rain then you know what sort of game it is.  The pirate motif was really fun to play with.

How awesome is that. Simple but smart. Your colors are always great.
I bet it does very well. It's the kind of game the kids on the van play on their phones. I'll tell them to look for it, buy it and let me try it out.

No buying necessary... it's Free to Play.

That should sell it. What's the business plan there? First one's free?

Fantastic! The parrot and the Kraken are so RickSchmitzian!

Ellis:
There are in-app purchases... the Royal Navy comes along to take some of your loot away. You can buy Kraken calls to destroy them and keep all your money. You can play without paying, but the Navy takes 40-60% of your earnings, so it can be quite a setback.
Also, there are banner ads at the top of the screen that display until your first purchase, so we make money off of those as well.

Oh, and thanks Tom!
