Damn, I really wish I had an Android device just to play this. I was always a big fan of Super Mario Galaxy which makes me think I'd like this game too. Did it influence your design at all?

Damn, I really wish I had an Android device just to play this.

I can't resist pointing out that there's an x86 Android distribution available -- you can create a small partition on a desktop or laptop hard drive -- say, 20 GB -- and install it, then set up dual boot. It beats having to buy an Android device just to have an occasional exposure or run a test.

Good news: free, runs on x86/64 machines.

Bad news: only runs Android programs that either don't have any native code, or that have multiple native executables for different platforms.

Thanks for the suggestion. I may have to set this up.

Yes, obviously ;-) I really like Super Mario Galaxy.

congrats on launching! hope it goes well for you.

small suggestion: try to add some screenshots to the play store that give a better idea of what the game is. at the moment i paged through all of them and i'm still unsure of what kind of game it is.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Pretty good. A small tutorial or help page in game would go a long way though... plenty of users will install without thoroughly reading the description.
