Posting a new thread since the original is more than 90 days old

Na4 is now free on Android. I'll be updating the iOS version soon too.

I've taken on the feedback I've received and made the following changes:
Na4 is free with 50 levels. An additional 50 levels are available in an expansion pack (all existing users automatically unlock the expansion pack)
You can skip levels whenever you like
Tutorial is streamlined and easier
The first 25 levels are considerably easier
Aiming is less jittery

Thanks! I put a lot of work into it so I'm glad you like it

Edit: In the 4 hours since it was approved on the App Store, I've already had 385 downloads. I think it's pretty clear that free games get downloaded a lot more than paid games lol

It was approved 13 hours ago on the app store and I've had 1,780 downloads in that time. On Google Play the update has been out 2 days and I've had 7 downloads.
Don't let the numbers fool you though. I'm fairly sure Apple just promoted my game as "newly updated" or something like that which is why it's getting this many, I reckon the downloads will drop off soon. Meanwhile organic traffic on Google Play is mostly generated by the "More Games Like This" section on similar games. It'll take Google a while to figure out where to show my game, but once it does, the installs will pick up.

This is all guesswork of course. But my most successful game previously was Ryder which totaled 80,000 installs on Google Play (it wasn't on the app store). It started off really slow and the daily installs picked up and peaked after about 6 months. I imagine Na4 will do that same.

Interesting, that was a fabulous install number. Do you think there was any trigger that made it peak after this 6 months?

It is rarely enough to submit a game on google play and expect to get downloads. Make a little web page for it, post a couple of gameplay videos on youtube, tweet about it with a bunch of those re-tweet type hashtags, post about it to your friends on facebook, linkedin, etc.etc. Make sure the message content is relevant and on-topic for whichever platform you are targeting. Google will look at all the links across the web that point to your game on play store, and whether those links are on relevant pages (so include links to your app in those social media messages) which all have an influence in where your game appears in the sea of other games on there. Do all that as a "freebie" minimum and your app will surely be a success. Getting the game published is just the start!

Could we expect a steam release?, I think this would do well on steam, the base game you can release free with the extra levels as paid DLC.

Yep

I'd been considering putting it on Steam when I first released it but wasn't too sure. I've decided now that I might as well. I suspect this game targets a desktop gamer audience far more than the mobile gamer audience and it's well suited to being played with a mouse. I haven't made any profits off the mobile version, so maybe I'll recoup some of that from the Steam version (and even if I don't, it's only $100).

Not sure if I'll go for a free game with DLC or just have for it $1-2. I'll look into which is the best business model for PC games. I've certainly learnt that paid games don't work on mobile, but maybe PC will work better.
I'll also include a level editor for the PC version.

Not sure how long it'll be until I get around to doing this. Likely within the next couple of weeks, but I might end up taking a few months, depending how much I procrastinate lol.
I'll just need to tweak a few things to make it PC friendly, integrate a level editor, and prepare all the steam graphics. Shouldn't be too much work I don't think
