    Thanks for that :)

    How much do you think it's worth? Actually, it's probably more useful to know what people who wouldn't buy it at "any price" would pay :)

    I don't want to sound cheep, but since there are many great app store titles out for 3-5$ if you want a lot of sales I would sell it for 2$ but that's just me. What do you think of that price?

    I would expect to pay around £3.99 - £5.99 for this game, although you may want to take into consideration the competition from other low price games. I think that £3.99 is a good price.

    I'm usually not a fan of accelerometer based games, but Glenn has done an outstanding job with this one. Without even taking into account the racing aspect, the thrill of boosting through the air with the ground far below you as you discover a new shortcut is simply awesome. I'm especially impressed with the graphics and performance, as well as the tilt responsiveness that I had, playing on a first generation 8gb iPhone. Most games of this type don't play well on my device, so I was pleasantly surprised.

    Thanks LBG, It's cool that nobody said 99c/59p :)

    It will be less than £3.99 though, still thinking about it...

    Thanks for that pharmx. We played and designed the game around the accelerometer from the start and it is the way it is meant to be played.

    I spent a lot of time making the touch version feel as similar as possible and it seems to work. PureSkill used it to set record times on half of the levels.

    Sounds really impressive & I'm even more excited about this one than I was before.

    If it's gonna cost less than £3.99 it looks like good value for money too. :)

    Ground Effect has been submitted to the App Store! :)

    I'd like to thank the beta testers for all of their help and encouragement.

    Maybe I can relax for a few days...

    Thanks Josh. Ravensword is looking amazing by the way.

    After much pondering I clicked the $3.99 (£2.39) button.

    Thanks Jeep, you have been a great help. While everyone else was helping tune the gameplay you were actually finding bugs! Not that you aren't great at the game of course. A few days ago you owned about 2/3 of the level times but my kids spent all weekend systematically attacking your scores. Sorry about that :)

    Thanks but that has got to be one of the most Apples/Oranges comparisons I've ever seen.

    ok. From the looks of it its at least worth 4.99 - (thats what I'd pay for it)
    Now that we know when it was submitted - it will be a good judge of how long things are taking to review these days. :)

    I agree $4.99 is definitely reasonable for this game....but pricing is so hard to determine with the AppStore crowd. Lower price for greater exposure with the hopes of greater returns in the long run.....or higher price for maximum returns at the risk of losing exposure. It's a fine balance and I don't think anyone's cracked that formula quite yet.

    Oh, by the way Josh, Glenn suggested I name Fuzion "Raven's Word"....what do you think? :p
