Rocket Sledge a paid PARENT and ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY game

Recently I have been thinking about games from the point of view the game being free or paid.  It seems that quite a many games you can download free from app stores are not really free.  Once the player is “addicted” to the game you will buy in-apps etc.. 

In my opinion this is of course fine as for the developers games are a business or if the player is using his own earned money to buy in-apps.

The situation is more challenging, if you are a parent and the player is your kid.  I have been following closely parents whose kids are playing and bumping repeatedly to a point in which the kid should buy something to proceed in the game.

Disappointingly to the kid the answer from the parents is a no quite often.  This seems to be causing only an argument, sometimes a loud one, between the kid and the parent.  I don’t have kids of my own so I’m observing this from outside.

A free game with the possibility to buy in-apps makes the cost of the game unpredictable to parents.

I have concluded that Rocket Sledge will be a paid game.  In the case of kid players the download price is going to cost for example to parents.   I’d like to call this PARENT FRIENDLY game pricing.

The other issues I have been pondering are sounds and music.  I have heard quite a many times requests to lower the volume from the parents and people around the player .

I have concluded that switching the music and sound on and off needs to be very simple in the game.  I’d call this not only a PARENT FRIENDLY but also an ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY solution.

Well enough about this I need to get to writing the Rocket Sledge code!

Thank you for your interest.  Please follow us up as there is more to come…
