We've been working on an update to Star Ninja to make sure everything is in order for Windows Phone 8. The upcoming update is fairly small and addresses some minor issues that have been reported as well as adding fast app resume to the premium version.
Star Ninja plays great on our Nokia Lumia 920 with better framerate and smoother gameplay than ever before. We'll be submitting it sometime in the next day or two after our own QA wraps up with it.

Just a few minutes ago I submitted the ad-supported version of Star Ninja to the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace. Hopefully it will get through certification quickly! It's the same game as the original, except it has been updated for Mango to support fast task switching and of course it has some ads. The ads are only shown during the pause menu and in between levels where there is a brief delay before continuing the game. I hope people are happy with how it is set up. I've had a good time play testing the game again and I hope this makes it possible for more people to experience the game. I believe the ads are pretty unobtrusive and the game itself is fun, really! There's no reason not to grab it if you have a Windows Phone, so I hope you check it out sometime.

Just a quick note to let you know an update to Star Ninja for Windows Phone version 1.2 has passed certification and has been published to the marketplace. Version 1.2 is also in Peer Review on the XBox Live Indie Games (XBLIG) and will hopefully get through review quickly.
It will take up to 24 hours for the new Windows Phone version to be available. When you start up Star Ninja you will get a message saying a new version is available, so if you go to the marketplace before the update has reached your particular country's marketplace you may not be able to download the update quite yet. Don't worry - it's in the tube and won't be long!
Version 1.2 has a few small bug fixes, performance improvements and various tweaks. Some people will be glad to hear Focus mode level 25 has had two stars added to it, making that level easier to finish.
You might wonder - what happened to version 1.1? That's the version that originally came out for XBox. This update brings the phone version in parity with the version that is currently in Peer Review for the XBox.
Thanks for playing!

Something we've been thinking about doing is tuning up our development build of Star Ninja that runs on Windows and making it a proper release for the Windows platform. Is this something you'd be interested in? Would you be willing to pay $1.29 for it, or would you prefer an ad based version?
If we do anything, it will be a DRM free release.
Please let us know if this sounds like something you'd like to see. Thanks! |

Star Ninja has been out just a few days now and we are happy to see that people really like the game!
There's been a number of reviews already; here are a few of our favorite quotes, with links to the full reviews:
"The biggest reason Star Ninja earns CotW [Catch of the Week] status is because it’s just fun to play"
"On top of its extensive replayability, the game also has some of the cutest character designs I’ve seen, and the voice acting is hilarious."
"Everyone wants to make the next Angry Birds. Star Ninja is a better Angry Birds. "
"Fans of this genre will enjoy the game a lot and at only 80  it is a must buy."
The players are helping us out with good reviews too, which is great and is helping to keep it high on the "top rated" charts on the marketplace. If you like Star Ninja and have an XBox Live Gold account (required for reviews) please help us out by going to the marketplace page for Star Ninja and give us some stars, ideally all 5 of them because that's the only way we'll go up in the charts at this point - the competition's tough! If you are able to do that it would mean a lot for us because it really does help to be visible in the top 50 charts. It's huge, actually.
Speaking of the players, one of the greatest things about making video games is being able to talk to the you, which is why we put XBox Live contact information in Star Ninja - we wanted to make it as easy as possible for players to send us a message. While we're glad for any feedback, it's especially satisfying when they write just to tell us how much they like the game. Here's an example of the kind of messages we've been getting from them so far:
Obviously our goal is to make more fun games and the better Star Ninja does in the market, the more we can dedicate to future projects so your support is deeply appreciated. Thanks!
