An old guy here: I too was making video games in high school, but mine never nearly looked as good as this, nor did they ever get this kind of an audience. You don't know how good you've got it :)<p>Good work and good luck with whatever you decide to make next!

Nicely done! I noticed it was sold by <a href="http://makegameswith.us/" rel="nofollow">http://makegameswith.us/</a> -- can you elaborate on why you chose them? I notice that they take 30% after Apple takes its 30%, leaving you with just under half of the selling cost as your gross revenue in exchange for help and promotion. How widely have they promoted the game? Your game is also translated into tons of languages; did you need to arrange this yourself, or is that something they helped out with?

Fellow high school IOS programmer here. This is pretty cool, It's nice that you get help with the art, that is the main thing that keeps me from making games. Instead I just make apps for psychological researchers: <a href="http://hume.ca/ix" rel="nofollow">http://hume.ca/ix</a>

Just downloaded it. Curious - from start to app store, how long did it take?

I've always wanted to learn a language and make a game out of it, but procrastination always gets the better of me (5 years later, I still haven't learnt anything). Congratulations, good luck and keep it up!

Did you learn Objective C as part of your high school curriculum or by yourself in your spare time? I think all high schoolers should at least have an introduction to programming in high school, if not middle school.

Congratulations, Chris! I'm sure Mr. T and Mr. S are very proud, too. The work looks fantastic; Jeremy and Ashu have done a great job getting art assets into place for you guys.<p>-- A friendly HS alum

I've been trying to learn Objective C and make iOS Apps, where did you learn? Everything I've tried so far has been really, really boring or outdated.

Did you create the sprites yourself, or did you contract an artist?

Do you have any gameplay videos or promotional videos?
