Thanks for your last post I’m glad that we can have this discussion and gather feedback about what can be done to help improve the game and improve sales. We’ve already made a number of improvements for the 1.1 release, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, we’re not going anywhere, we’ve got new iPhone apps coming. Thanks again for your feedback, it’s appreciated.

actually let me apologize. I was being childish and used profanity just because I was so pissed off thanks to totally different things unrelated to Ramp Champ or the Iconfactory.

I love the Iconfactory, their free icons and many of their games. The attention to detail always surprises me.

Truth be told, Ramp Champ IS a beautifully designed piece of software. Freeverse’s Skee-Ball can’t be mentioned in the same sentence design wise. I also love Ramp Champ’s sounds (and effects).

Every little detail has been carefully thought and designed. Starting from the Ramp Champ’s website.

The icon and the name don’t tell much. As mentioned before. I think that’s partly the reason why it hasn’t been that much of a hit TOP50-wise. Your marketing campaign, however, was exceptional. Even I – who doesn’t follow that much iPhone related sites – knew about Ramp Champ long before it was released on the AppStore.

I don’t know how the flicking experience could be improved, at least nothing comes to my mind just now, but it is frustrating to say the least for the time being. Maybe I need more practice, I’m not sure.

But I have bought all of the addon packs. AFAIK there are four of them now and all have been bought. When I bought them, I had faith that the control system would be improved with updates. Then (within the past 24 hours) later on I stumbled upon Ged Maheux’ blog post on how badly Ramp Champ have done thus far. I was disappointed BECAUSE I did see potential in Ramp Champ and never would have hoped that Ramp Champ’s development would cease. Hopefully that’s not the case at the time being.

I do hope the Iconfactory get back at least the money it cost for them to develop the Ramp Champ and some extra too.

I wish I could delete my unneeded rant comment and go back in time, but instead let this post be my official apology and statement.

Here’s wishing everything good to Ged, the fabulous iconfactory team and Ramp Champ!

Have a nice weekend ya’ll.

I’m sorry you feel the game is “shit” but that’s not the feedback our beta testers gave us while the game was in development, and it’s not what’s reflected in the reviews in iTunes. Could game control be better? Of course it could and in fact we’re working on that as we speak for a future update. Just because one aspect of a game isn’t up to your ideal, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worthless.

I’m open to all forms of constructive feedback on how to improve the game. Please try and keep that in mind.

I find it funny the iconfactory is whining over this when they clearly don’t see how shitty a game they have developed.. no wonder people aren’t interested in it.

Thanks for spreading the word!
