Take a brief look at the description:

With a good technique and a little bit of patience, you can build a three or four story (or even higher) card tower with our very addictive and interesting iPhone and iPod Touch game. Now you can explore your inner architect in the comfort of your palm of the hand. No more winds, pets, or family members to destroy your creations!

With more than two decks of of cards and unlimited time, you can compete with people around the world (online score submission will be added in the future versions) for now - top ranking with screenshots available now.

Beautifully designed game, with accurate physic rules and an undo feature to give you a chance to correct small mistakes not to ruin an entire tower you've spent hours to build.

For a limited time only the Card Tower is offered for US $0,99! The game that is really interesting, addictive and for some people can be even useful to improve patience and coordination, using multi-touch technology of the iPhone/iPod Touch and our unique idea. Enjoy!

All codes have been used. It'll be nice when people learn to post when they use a code.

Looks interesting and I was about to buy it, but then saw your keyword spamming in the description and changed my mind.

I really hope this (keyword spamming) doesn't become as annoyingly frequent as it has on eBay.

For anyone who doesn't have a clue what I'm talking about, the end of the description for this app states:
This app doesn't contain: poker, playboy, nude pics, backgrounds, adult content, ifart like effects, flight simulator

Which means anyone searching for the words in that list will get this application in their search results

Cheap tricks like this really wind me up and could completely ruin the usefulness of the App Store - if I'm searching for Flight Simulator I don't want to see things that don't do it!!

I agree. He was about to get a WTH $.99 out of me, but now I think I'm going to pass. Thanks for the heads up.

Honestly, we're spending on all types of advertisement, with our TouchKarma app ( http://www.touchkarma.com/ ) we went to radio, tv, PR, magazines, adwords, admobs, etc. We didn't move at all in top. With Card Tower we made it to top20 in our sub-category in the first day without any paid ads. As any developer we're using all possible ways to promote our apps and so far nobody can tell how apps are making it to the top, looks like promotion inside iTunes is the only way to be seen and developers are very limited in it. I'll remove this keywords if you convince me that it's bad to use keywords like many other developers do in the market where you compete with 50k+ apps and 0,99 price tags..

The problem with keyword spamming is that it will inevitably get to the stage where people won't be able to find anything because of the spam keywords. It's up to you whether you employ these tactics but I refuse to purchase any apps from companies who use keyword spamming.
If everyone did the same the problem would go away.

Make that me too. Lavrov, so far you've lost $4 because of your keyword spamming. I think you should remove it before you lose any more revenue.

Actually we've lost thousands of dollars due to pirates and cracked installs. :( 59% of all installs are cracked... looking at Pinch Analytics right now... :(
