My Newest iPhone Game - Dummy Defense

Hacker News

The game is Dummy Defense. It launched yesterday and is currently at #41 top overall in the US app store. I did some heavy promotion yesterday with a large email list, and FreeAppADay is promoting my other app, SimplePhysics, which is driving quite a few sales. I'd be glad to hear your feedback about the game as well as answer any questions regarding the development or marketing efforts. Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzk5WVb3JcE&feature=player_detailpage Here's the app store page: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dummy-defense/id460832678?mt=8
