In general it seems good for kids.
I don't have children so i can not test it with them, just coming to my mind that after some time it can be boring doing, repeating the same task with the same concept over and over again. Maybe in future yo can add some other mini games with diffrent graphics like show Santa Claus to deliver the gifts with the correct order or show mailman to distrubute mails with the correct orders etc....

SimplesApps · December 2013

Thanks @talis, you're right.

The game needs something to make it less repetitive, although the operation is based on repeating plays, like Simon's game. I've thought about it, but I have not developed anything that is fun using repetition as a base.

My intention was to create a series of games based on this concept, so I called "All Replay Christmas Tree", thinking to do after a "All Replay Animals" game, etc..
But maybe I have to rethink it...

Sincerely I expected more opinions from the forum, specially from the top posters... @ar2rsawseen @OZApps , @techdojo , @ hgvyas123 , @Mells , @phongtt , ...

Developers, specially indies, need feedback. This is a community of developers, isn't it?
Please, I need your reviews, opinions, ideas for improvement, etc., to stay motivated.

Anyway, I guess these days the low activity in the forum is due to Christmas holidays.

Many thanks in advance.

Not bad, interesting, some buttons are too small, after all good game for a Chrismas.

SimplesApps · December 2013

Thanks @bravcm.

Which buttons do you refer are too small? The ones in the menu screen?

Mells · December 2013

Hey @SimplesApps,

Please, I need your reviews, opinions, ideas for improvement, etc., to stay motivated.

I understand. Here is my feedback, in all honesty :
I saw your discussion, but was not attracted by the graphics and chose not to download it (well, I keep only a few apps on my device).

Why am I saying this with brutal honesty?
Not at all to discourage you, but quite the opposite. I believe some users who see your app in the app store might do the same (leave within 3 secs) without telling you.

Too much of anything
I feel a lack of consistency between the fonts, buttons, colors used (if your background is red, you might choose a different color for your buttons/calls to action).
Santa has a different style than teddy, which is different than snowman, same for the star, etc... I feel the hand is scary because too realistic (shading).

What you can do about it
- buy all your graphic assets from the same store, and if possible from the same artist
- use only 2 fonts (get inspiration from other apps)
- use adobe kuler to use a color palette that works. Currently green (tree) on red (background) is not working
- change your icon, something more stylized or that conveys the goal of the game (for now, from far it reminded me.... this from Dr Slump)
- make sure your screen title attracts the eyes.

Please don't take it too hard. If it doesn't look so, I hope you understand my intentions are to be helpful.

SimplesApps · December 2013

Thanks @Mells for your time.

Honesty: it just was that I needed. It's not so easy to find people like you. Your sincerely opinion really helps me to improve.

Regarding the figures and other objects you can find in the game: the majority of them are real objects that I have in my house (teddy and Santa are made of ceramic, as an example). I took pictures of them. My wife cooked the cookies that appear. They are homemade.

But you're right. There isn't consistency between all of the objects.

About the icon, ha ha, I'll tell my friend who designed it. When we were young we saw the Dr Slump series. We remember the poop, a friend of Arale!

I take into account your advices.

Many thanks again,
David (SimplesApps)

@SimplesApps this game have a lot of potential. The idea behind is very cool. I had played it but it is just more for children. I will ask my son what he think about this

. But my oppinion is make another set of graphic and use this. For very good graphics you can take a look at opengraphics.org. Or graphicriver but this is paid stuff. But i think with some more features like facebook scorewall and invite friends the game would be an very nice casual game.

@GiderosFan I appreciate your opinion, especially being your first comment on this forum.

Thanks.

@SimplesApps
You're welcome.

Don't hesitate to ask for specific feedback when you feel the need for it.
I usually don't comment if people don't explicitly ask for help. You never know how people react (and accuse you of being "a bragger").

Regarding the figures and other objects you can find in the game: the majority of them are real objects that I have in my house (teddy and Santa are made of ceramic, as an example). I took pictures of them. My wife cooked the cookies that appear. They are homemade.

That can be a marketing angle, "includes homemade cookies (my wife made them)".
But back to my point consistency is what will bring people who see your app to try it.

Getting traffic so that people know that your app even exists is another problem.

I'm glad if I could be helpful in some way, and good luck with your projects.
Feel free to keep us updated.

Howdy, Stranger!
