I just checked in on my sales statistics tool to see if a mention in one of Swedens larger tech magazines had boosted downloads for Ninja Fingers in any way and stumbled on something nice in the form of a user review.

We’re not getting a lot of App Store reviews, just a few, so I read them all to see what you all think about the game. The latest review said: “So much fun for all the family. Even grandpa could not stop playing. We love it, thank you!”.

And… Pause.

It just warms my heart. I haven’t always been sure of why I want to make games, but this is it. I just found the best motivation of all. Of course it’s lovely to work with something creative and free, but when someone responds to something that you’ve created from scratch with joy, it just warms your heart.

Your response sums up exactly why this game came into creation. I wanted something simple, where the game mechanics are self explanatory, and where you can play people at all skill levels with high replay value. I was basically aiming for the whole family. I think I nailed it.

So, thank you too, the iPad gamer who wrote this, and tell granpa I said hi!
