    I am thinking that those of us who took time to help are certainly celebrities looking for a PM!

    It worked I got a pm lol. I didn't ask for one but thanks for the code Jeff. We just messing with you about the "celebrity" thing it's just an odd term to use to describe who gets codes/lites? Or whatever you meant. I'll post some impressions soon. Thanks

    Seriously, celebrities like Ashton Kutcher and others got codes.

    Sent out one more code...really my last until I get more.

    Have been doing more marketing on Twitter than anywhere else and if Ashton even mentions the game to his 3,000,000 followers we might get 10 or 11 more sales.

    Talking with my developer - Howard - about upping the price with the first update.

    Will keep you in the loop.

    The leaderboard setup is very good. I'm still trying to figure out the aiming with accuracy and develop a strategy. So far the game is different but pretty cool. Any tips?

    Check out the blog - link below.

    But yes...

    Stick with one ball position to begin. I like holes on the bottom. That eliminates one variable.

    Flicking strength DOES determine a slight variation in distance and break.

    High Score name CANNOT have a space between first and last name... yet.

    Target Mode top score is limited to 100... for now. Going to give free ball for each bullseye in first update so the top score will be unlimited.

    After 10 strikes in pitching mode you'll see a hula hoop. You have to pitch through that AND get a strike after that point.

    Use practice mode liberally to see how ball breaks.

    Holes on TOP are nearly useless right now, but they are good if there's a hoop way up top middle and you need a ball to sink fast for a strike.

    How's that?

    **I've gotten MANY 100's on target mode. But I thought it was bad to put my name in top scores. When we remove the ceiling I'll submit my scores.

    Oh, the voices and sounds in the game are my father, me, some friends and a few free sounds. The woman's voice is a waitress at some bar in Boston where we were taping my video show... NomX3.

    Just some random info.

    Ok the holes on the bottom works much better. This is a pretty decent game once you get the hang of it.

    Yeah I can tell the voice work is you and people you know. Other sound effects in the game are cool, the comments also add a little humor in the game. Not bad so far, anyone who likes Paper Toss should check this game out.

    Just messing with ya too! But I guess I can be subtle sometimes enough to make things happen!

    Just downloaded - excited to play and leave impressions. Been away from wifi all day but for some reason been reminiscing about the games of "automatics" my brother and I used to play in our backyard as kids. That is the sign of a good game - when it just can't get out of your head! I have been wanting to play this all day and little did I know I would have a surprise waiting when I got back! So now, off to try my skill!

    Thanks Jeff! :)
