"Action Basket" , my new app

SimplesApps · July 2014

Hi to all.

Within these times of changes, specially here, I've recently published my new app made with Gideros (I'm a paying member), a free game called "Action Basket".

Now that the Football World Cup is live, maybe you know that the Basketball World Cup it will be in September. Because of this upcoming event and due to the fact that my 11 year old son loves and plays basketball, I decided to create this game.

Here are the links to the stores (Google Play, App Store, Amazon):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplesapps.actionbasket
https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/action-basket/id882610308
http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.simplesapps.actionbasket

I hope you enjoy it.
I wait for your valuable feedback.

Please, rate it and send to your colleagues.

Many thanks,
David (SimplesApps.com)

Wow, I'm just working on similar idea, but with different mechanics and I really can appreciate the way your net is moving awesomely

My current basket net is like created from rock

Thanks @ar2rsawseen

Get the effect of the net movement took me a weekend.

Btw, I don't know how to boost the app in the Google Play (for iOS is ok).
I think the ASO on-metadata is ok but maybe no. The first days I found the game in the store but after I changed the description I cannot find it.

Regarding the ads Chartboost is working well but the Admob banner no. Google is behind again…

I know you are "Android oriented", so what are your advices/experiences about it?

Thanks,
David (@SimplesApps)

Google Play is a mystery to me.
I am currently conducting an experiment, where I simply publish games made from free assets, without any marketing and promo, just to see how much it is possible to get organic downloads without any mentions or specific optimizations.

And on my first app after a week now, Google Play is one of the worst ones to perform on it. Only 1 single download. Even Amazon have 2 downloads

Well there are bunch of third party stores, that did not get any download and that is understandable, but I did not expect such results from Google Play.

Slideme is currently best performing on organic downloads on zero visibility, provided over 1k of downloads on the first week.

I will be trying the same for different type of apps (the basket one I've mentioned is for the same purpose), variating from genres to specific features (like having in-app purchases, or platform specific leaderboards as Google Play Services), to see if there are any differences and maybe also trying out different promotions, like tweeting, +1, maybe even advertising on Admob or facebook, etc, just to check what seems to be working better.

For now estimating if I could create 2-3 apps a month, it would take me about 10 month to release all variations and gather some data and then I will be able to share a better report on it

But also don't forget that it is a side hobby project for me for now, so if some more important stuff comes my way, I may have to postpone it

Google Play and Apple Store only provides some visibility to games on top. The rest of games are almost invisible.

I am sure a lot of game developers uses bots running in computer farms to get more downloads. Once you are on top it is easy to increase downloads and revenue.

Wow @ar2rsawseen , a good job to be done.
Please share when you get the report, it sure can be very useful.

But 10 months is a long time. In that time Google can change their ranking algorithms.…

Btw, apart from the Slideme what other third party stores you put the apps?

@jdbc You're right, but I think (or I want to think) there is a small hole where we can go in and make visible our app. But that takes time and patience, luck and above all a good promotion.

Currently without any promotion for the first 10 days I have 4K downloads in the Apple Store of my app Action Basket, mostly in USA. Not much but it's something.

In contrast with Google Play does not reach 100 downloads...

I have to do promotion with a press release, etc.. but do not know very well whom I send it. Maybe someone on the forum with experience in promotion / online marketing can help.
