Positive reaction to AIR touch-screen fighting game

I thought I'd pass along news of a touch-screen fighting game that I recently released:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.WRFree

It has had a positive reaction on Google Play so far, with over 10,000 downloads and 100 ratings per week - 10% of which translate into purchases. There is also an iOS version which is playing catch-up.

The game features sprite manipulation and depth sorting on a massive scale, so even if you're not a fan of the genre it may spur some retro 2D ideas of your own.

I never thought I would get to make a mobile app at all, so thanks to Adobe for that!

This particular one has been a huge undertaking because I had to create my own animation system and learn a lot of AS3 on the fly. 6 months so far and it's still a work-in-progress. I estimate that future projects in this style will only take 3 months because I've laid some solid foundations.

ok, I just tested it on nexus s (jb 4.1.1) and ipad3, and it's working smooth like butter on both devices.

so you did it pretty much all by yourself, one person? that's amazing man!
