I guess I can take that as a "No"? :(

Unfortunately no, our responsibility is developing games, it's the big boys' job to distribute them. We're all seeing the challenges of setting up a marketplace with the Ovi Store, it would be utterly foolish for a small studio like us to try to tackle the same problem field.

Thanks, Frand - bad news are better than no news! :)

Though I really wanted to play your games - now there's just to hope you'll eventually port it to MeeGo and THAT will have a better store. :(

Zen Inbound - bug found?

When you are wrapping around in the game and you get a hildon banner, something interesting happens.
In my case I was roaming and got a hildon banner telling me that "cellulair data is not available", which I am sure other Zen Inbound road warriors may get as well.

You don't notice the bug as you can keep playing without problems, until you raise the menu options. None of the buttons work anymore!
Switching to dashboard, closing the game (buttons above), ending the session or restarting the session (buttons bellow) do not respond.
The menu simply disappears again and all you can do is keep playing or click the menu button bellow again.

You're stuck.

The only way to exit the game is to use the CTRL Backspace shortcut on the keyboard and touch the "X" to close it.
I haven't repeated the bug, but I will try since I roam the same way back and will get a hildon banner again when playing.

To be continued...

I can probably confirm the bug for Zen Bound, not sure what you have been playing. Don't remember exactly how it got to a state described but unresponsiveness to reset and end game occur in certain situations.

i've gotten this behaviour as well, sometimes when re-playing a just finished object.

the buttons will respond, but only to an extremely rapid fingernail tap (as fast as you can). try that and see if it solves the unreponsiveness issue.

Some users have reported issues with SPiN failing to start unless its configuration file is manually deleted. An update to the problem has just been approved by Ovi Store QA and the new version should be available for download soon.

@Frand
Any figures you can release regarding any of the released games?
If not are you and the company selling enough in your opinion to keeps supporting the Maemo platform?
Brilliant games by the way I have bought all releases and will continue to koodos.

No, no... we're not commenting on sales numbers or future support after this short period of time, understanding a sales channel takes a bit more data over a longer time period :)
