It's Free...

We've just released into the wild a Free version of Droid Invasion! It's supported by ads so you'll notice an ad banner at the top of the screen. We tried to be as unobtrusive as possible and the ad actually gives way to the stacks of Droids when they get into that area. We really hope you enjoy it. If you or your friends have an android device but have been sitting on the fence because you don't like paying for apps, now we have something for you to try. And if you like what you get, consider clicking on one of the ads that come up!

If may take a couple hours for the ad to show up in the market but if it's not up when you check, it'll be up soon.

Marketing begins

After a couple great weeks with Droid Invasion on the Android Market and Amazon Appstore we've found the exposure for our app hasn't gotten much beyond our groups of friends so it's time to take our message to the streets, well the virtual streets, of Facebook. Today began our first foray into advertising with a Facebook Ad targeted to people who have shown interest in different Android devices. Hopefully this pays off in the long run as we get some more exposure for our app.

Update

The first update to Droid Invasion went out last night. A few minor things and a new Easy mode to slow things down a bit for beginners and kids.

What's in this version:

1. Added a confirm dialog to the Back Button so you don't accidentally exit.
2. Added High Score to Settings so you can find it any time.
3. Added in-game notification of high score so you know when you've achieved it before the game ends.
4. Added a new Easy mode, configurable in Settings.
5. Made mute menu button more interactive and save mute setting.

Let us know what you think!

Droid Invasion comes to Amazon

If you prefer the Amazon Appstore for Android (or just abundant amounts of alliteration) you can now find Droid Invasion there as well.

The price is the same and we find the description they put up amusing. They took some things we wrote and added some of their own thoughts and impressions. Overall we're pretty happy with the Amazon experience. They took longer (about a week) to make Droid Invasion available but they also went through and tested to make sure it worked as it should on a wide array of devices. Or so I've read anyway, we didn't really get any feedback through the process but then again we always test pretty extensively in house.

A note to the DI insiders: expect an update in the next couple days. Nothing major but a few updates we know the fans will enjoy.

Page 25!

Thanks to your downloads and great reviews Droid Invasion is currently up to Page 25 in the Android Market in our category, Games: Arcade & Action.That is a really good start for a game only a few days old and it's all thanks to our fans and friends.

Keep the support coming and don't forget to tell your friends about us. We'll keep you updated as we move up the rankings. I don't think the next challenger "PopPop - Balloons a Poppin" will last long against the Droid Invasion.

And amid all the excitement of our first release version we haven't stopped working. The first update is already moving forward so if you have suggestions for us post them up, we'll try to get to them all in time. We really do appreciate any feedback you have so things you love, things that annoy you- let us know.
