Not sure if it's supposed to be here but what the hell, I just want some design advice on my iPhone game.
So I had a game and it was selling pretty well (Tangled) so I decided I would pay a professional for graphics and get some music + add some gameplay modes and music.... I was going to release it all in an update but after spending close to 6 months (on and off, I just do this in the little spare time I have) I was given the advice to release it as a new game (Tangled 2) to get more exposure (that didn't work out so well and I wish I had just released it as an update...)
Now I'm trying to figure out if there's anything specific (and hopefully small as I've already started other projects) that I could change to make the game more appealing (at least to the level Tangled 1 was).
Here's a quick video of all 3 versions I have:
Tangled: Video
Tangled 2: Video
Tangled 2: Doodle: Video
Now I've done some thinking on my own too and by looking at the 2 games I figured the lines in Tangled 2 might be a bit thick... So I decided to thin them out a bit, here's what it looks like, what do you guys think?
Thick:
Thin (don't mind the ads....I'm just working on an iAd version):
So what looks better?
