Hi All,

After spending a few months looking at various frameworks for games, I started looking at Corona in December and found it refreshingly easy to use. Studying "Ghosts vs Monsters" from Jonathan Beebe was a great help to see how to structure the game software, so thank you Jonathan!

I've spent the last 2-3 months learning Corona and developing a game and it has just been approved for sale! The links to the game on the App Store and to the website are:

Here are some promo codes. If you take one, please let everyone know on the forum which one you've taken. Also, please leave me with some (hopefully) positive comments on iTunes!

Help Glubbo on his journey through the galaxy to get to planet earth. Time your jumps to perfection to hop between planets, and fly through space according to the laws of Newtonian physics!

- Simple controls - Only one button, but make sure you press it at the right time!
- 36 challenging, hand-crafted levels.
- Stunning pictures of stars and galaxies.
- Highly dangerous black holes, perfect for monsters to fall into!

This game looks like it'll be fun, I snagged LNXYM3LTP7A3

ADDITION: Great concept, I love the gameplay. There's a bug with launching the app however; it looks like you messed up the multitask setting because every other time the app crashes.

@jhocking, I'm glad that you like the concept and gameplay, but am very worried now about the crashes. Could you please let me know details of the device you're using? I tested it on iPhone 3GS & 4, and on iPad.

I don't know if the forums here allow for PMs but if not, maybe you could contact me on http://www.zendec.com and we can communicate using email? I'd really like to get this resolved.

In ase anyone else is curious, we're only seeing this crash when we restart right away. Wait a few seconds before restarting and it's fine (which is what users normally do) so only a minor irritant.

I should have included some screenshots in the original post. Well better late than never...
