The Mensch is back with a review of a great game Tower Madness. This game reminded me of Starcraft. The game starts out giving you a map that you have to set defenses so that the aliens can’t get to the sheep you are trying to defend. At the end of a long day, there’s nothing more gratifying than watching hordes of aliens fall victim to your laser cannons and missile turrets. Its a tower-defense strategy game for iPhone.
The objective is to defend your flock of sheep from aliens, cockroaches and other strange creatures hell bent on abducting your woolly friends. You do so by building towers containing laser cannons, grenade mortars, missile turrets and other weapons to defeat the invaders; each kill gets you a few dollars. The strategy lies in how you arrange these towers, when to build them and what weapons you decide to buy.
It’s pretty addictive and fun after you get good at it. The full game costs $3; a free version, Tower Madness Lite, is also available in the App Store.
i have a product that is very promising and my web designer offered to do a website to sell it online. he offered to do it very cheap in exchange for a commission on sales from the site. seemed fair given the right rate. but he wants 15 percent and not that i know a lot about these things but that seems really high to me. if anyone could give me ANY guidence at all i’d really appreciate it!
thanks!!
Right now, pre-launch…15% seems like a lot – but its worth it to you, if this product gets the exposure you desire, along with the sales income. You can put a cap on it by setting up a royalty agreement form stating that the commission is only effective for the first 100 unit sales (figure a dollar limit on your web designers creative efforts) You can also drop the commission to 10% for the next 100 units or whatever your conscious allows. It works like this – 100 units sell for 30.00 each and 15% is 4.50 dollars – x 100 equals 450.00 – and the next group equals less commission till you get to 1000 or more units.
Now you are not married to this web designer forever, and the cow doesn’t die. All good things must come to an end, and include an exit clause.
Well, now on the Live Feed you can see everyone’s status updates. The facebook on the Iphone/Itouches are very limited, they need to update. Now statuses just have a weird design like this {a|:} it’s so weird. It’s just a bug. The online Facebook feed shows all statuses.
They need to think twice before using their credit cards.
They need to live in a green way: reduce, reuse and recycle on everything.
They need to pump in more brain power for survival.
