In reply to Angry Anything. I made a game with zombies in it is not the top indie game by a long shot. check out games like Bastion, Limbo, Braid and Super Meat Boy. Those will show you what a good indie game is.

indie games must improve. Most of the indie games are just Sh…T!
even the top indie game “i mad3 the junk with zombies” is a crap.

While the positive feedback mentions things that are true, it’s tough for us Indie devs now that the Genre search has been replaced by a 2,000+ game list. It makes it worse that Top Downloads and our sales data have not been published since November 22.

As a 1-man team, I had just released “Angry Zombie Ninja Cats” on Mon Nov 21, and I was pleased with the 1st day’s sales, which was great for a Monday. But, I am missing data for the full first week, which includes the 4-day Thanksgiving weekend, so I am definitely eager to see the full sales data at end of the quarter (Dec 31).

On a positive note, AZNC has been on the top-selling list in various places:
– #60 in the 2,000+ game list
– #14 if you filter by Action/Adv (on xbox.com)
– #10 if you ignore all the “Miner” games 😉

I have since released an update, which includes features requested from user feedback, and have started working on an Xmas sequel, “Ninja Cats X”. We have heard from Nick G of XBLIG that they are actively working to resolve the issues. 🙂
