Our game Moto X Mayhem has been approved this morning and is in the store! It took two weeks in review and is finally out! Hope it's cool pimping this here. It's what I've been doing after work for the past 3 months. Our web site with a temp video is at MotoXMayhem.com.
Here are a couple screens we're using:

but the graphics could have easily been more "feelgoody" with more saturation
Congrats on the game!
Congratulations on a completed & successfully released product though!
This is basically just a remake of Action Supercross, yeah? Looks an awful lot like it from the screenshots anyway.
MoP it's definitely influenced by the other side scrollers. Mostly the recent flash ones that were popular over the last few years though. We tried to get the same feel as them too.
Elasto Mania! was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the screens. If it is a remake I will have to pick this up for my ipod.

I'll be grabbing this tonight!

We just became the #1 racing game in Canada and #2 in the US, UK, and six other countries!
We're in the top 25 games overall in Canada, UK, Italy, and others.

They're not all perfect but we don't mind. We're working on more levels and other cool things to come
Thanks for all your support Polycount!
If you're taking suggestions, though (aside from more content and tracks, anyway
- Have your personal best time displayed on the upper right corner of the screen, so you have some idea of how you're doing during that run.
- Possibly a small visual indicator (aside from the rider's body position) of the current tilt. I occasionally have trouble getting centered when I play with one hand (while i smoke, eg).
Maybe a slider at the bottom or top could show you the iphones/touch balance. I think people don't realize that you can tilt it in different directions too like when it's flat you need to tilt it down still... not towards and away from you if that makes sense. I'll probably re-do the How To Play for the next update.
My Aqua Globs game is not even in top 100
Vladino: It's not necessary that it be a racing game of course (Flight Control, Doodle Jump, Fieldrunners, etc). There was a series of events that have helped us. The first was choosing a game that I felt was missing from the App store. I looked for it because I wanted to play it and it wasn't there. The second was creating solid gameplay (we are lacking content I'm told). Then we happened to get reviewed by TouchArcade. It wasnt a good review but any publicity is good publicity. We promoted everywhere we could aside from that as well. Apple put us on the "What we're playing" list a week after we came out and before the weekend. Following that we were noticed by a couple bigger review sites, Appmodo and Appvee... And here we are hoping we'll keep doing well.
Aqua Globs looks sweet! Keep promoting and cross your fingers... I dont really understand how it works either
Thanks a lot for a valuable information! It helped a lot
The update includes:
A new island with 7 more challenging terrains!
New digital and analog control options!
Faster and more efficient Highscores!
Various fixes and improvements.
You can follow us on twitter or facebook where we try to keep everyone interested in the loop.
PS. nice touch on the skeleton biker at the end of the first level
