Hi everyone!

After months and months of work, our hard work is finally ready to see the light of day! I bring to you, "Ducky's Coffee". This is a time-management, dash style game with an engine based entirely on Sparrow, of course!

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/duckys-coffee/id478228124?ls=1&mt=8

Here are a few promo codes. Give it a spin if this sort of thing is your cup of tea. Comments and suggestions are welcome, of course!

A big giant thanks to Daniel for the awesome framework. Sparrow made creating this game very much pain free.

This looks amazing. I love the arkwork and the gameplay looks like it would be quite addicting too. I'm always a sucker for these types of games.

I bought Ducky's Coffee and it looks and plays very well. The story's funny, the gameplay's hectic but well-paced and the Duck theme suits the game nicely. For the genre that it's in, I can't think of anything that would make it any better.

Congrats to all at the Little Robot Studio!

Very well done!! The number of elements and objects is steadily increasing, keeping the challenge up, while not making it too complex too quickly. And the graphics are sooo lovely -- I love ducks! =)

One thing is missing, though: an entry on the wiki page!!

Thanks for the support! Really appreciate it! Hope the game will keep you entertained for a while. =)

"For the genre that it's in, I can't think of anything that would make it any better." Wow! That's really high praise! It's really encouraging. We spent a lot of time trying to make it a solid title for the genre. I'm glad somebody took notice! Now... only if that same somebody would just leave a review in the app store...

@Daniel
Thanks for checking our game out! Appreciate it! We went through a number of iterations to get the pacing right. Can't believe the difference it made with the testers with just a few tweaks, here and there. (And wiki page, here I come!)

Just because it's so duckin' good, I gave you guys 5 stars on the Aussie App store

Btw, there is a 2 star review there that promises to upgrade to more stars except they complain about their game crashing on level 11. I'm on level 17 with no problems, so it's disappointing that they didn't contact you before down rating.

Thanks for the glowing review, Paul!

It's actually really troubling to have a bad review right as the game launches. There are so few reviews for the game at the moment. Even a single "my game crashes" review makes it look like the game is crashing 100% of the time.

As a player, I really haven't realized just how important these ratings and reviews are. As a developer, I really wish players would at least click a star rating.

(As a side note, Flurry reports that 3% of all game sessions are encountering exceptions. Ouch.)
