I'm really wondering why... Is it just that there are so many other games in existence already so people simply won't download all of them?! Hhmm... that's something I have to figure out on my own ;) Nice posting and 100% signed ;-) Four weeks after releasing Puzzle Blox (my own game) the results are quite similar though the number of downloads is dramatically lower.

So never mind the bit about passing me in Cards/Casino. But best of look with Musical. Sorry, I’m confusing two blogs I’m looking at simultaneously.

Some of my apps' comments: "measures nice c cup boobiez" "My grandma plays this on my g1, then i pretend my face is a bus and she rides the bus all the way home" The one bit you didn't touch on is that you'll get downrated because the app failed to download. Some publisher choose to add to the description that they have no control over this. They still get all the 1-star "won't download" comments. It's frustrating for sure, but it's a relatively even playing ground, at least - we all have to deal with the same frustrating users (though I can't say I've gotten any calls to commit suicide). I've found that one's users' maturity depends on the section of the market - and Cards/Casino doesn't rank very high. Btw congrats on passing me (Beat The Joker Slots) there. Man, I heard that.
