My first game "Nebula Retro" now released on Google Play! [UPDATE: free version available]

My first game has now been released on Google Play.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simpleinteractive.nebula
Very relieved to finally get it out the door. Originally developed on Corona but then I got sick of Corona's bugs (especially with box2d which my game relies heavily on) and converted it over. Best decision I ever made! Gideros is rock solid and a joy to use! I can honestly say that all the bugs I wrestled with were my own and not with Gideros.
I'd like to thank everyone for their help and advice on this forum. Although I've been mostly lurking, some of the discussions here have been essential in figuring out how to do stuff.
If you have any suggestions for improvement please let me know. I'd also like to knkow how it looks/works on different Android devices. I've only tested on my Xperia PLAY. (app does not support PLAY physical keys yet, that's for the next version!)
If Nebula is successful I'll buy a Mac and get it onto the iOS app store also!
[UPDATE: I've now added a free version, Nebula Retro Free. I'd appreciate if people could test this!]

Seems colorful and enjoyable from the screen shots.

Is it me or can anyone else spot the irony in the app description "Remember the days when games were simple and fun?" which is then followed by some of the most visually complex screen shots I've ever seen?
Regardless of that @john26 - congratulations, It's a real "money supermarket" kind of feeling when you see your first game go on sale.

@techdojo, the complex screens are showing the built-in level editor. But I think I'll redo these screenshots as it is giving a false impression of complexity. I should also do a video when I get time. Any tips on how to prepare a video?
Now all I need is someone to download it... How should I publicize this game?

As for the marketing - step 1. make the game the best it can be, make the accompanying sales page and website just as good.
Pay stupid people $5 to film themselves doing crazy stuff on Fiverr and upload it to YouTube.
Pray...

BTW, is there any way to make this thread into an "announcement" or does that have to be done by moderators?

So I'll let the Gideros team to sort it out for now
