6 Tips To Become Successful iPhone Game Developer

Apple Store has now more than 1 million applications and games. So for an iphone game developer it is really tough to get his/her app noticed and attract the attention of users. However, there are a few techniques which iPhone game developers can employ to make their games successful.

Many games have found their way to success despite the fact that majority of mobile games have followed the following combinations. So, these points are not fail safe way to make your games a success.

1. User Friendly Design/ Good Graphics/ Simplicity

Creative games with high quality graphics immediately attracts a lot of attention but a crappy, awkward and a bulky game will not even lure user to complete the game. For example, Angry Birds is successful because even the older and technically challenged persons can play the game by the stroke of a finger. A well-organized game with simple and user-friendly interface (not simple gameplay) will definitely help the game to be a successful one.

2. Creativity

Creativity is what sets the 'game' apart from the crowd. If you develop a game that is similar to another game, don't think that your game will just be as successful as the game from where you have 'copied' your creativity. If it is at all similar, then there must be a new and attractive feature added to the game. For example, your game could have better quality graphics, free or lesser price to download the game or a more user-friendly interface. You game just needs to have some aspect that will make it stand out in the market compared to other existing mobile games.

3. Storyline

A conditional point. Storyline does not apply to all mobile games. For example, Angry Birds or Temple Run are very successful games but does not have a robust story, but take for example RPG games that require intense and creative story-lines. If you make story-lines similar to Zenonia, then your game is sure to get 'negative feedback', which will take you nowhere. Make your storyline original, creative and interesting, you game might stand out in the crowd.

4. Theme

A coherent theme to the game is necessary, as it is in writing and art. If you just develop a game where you throw papers to flying pigs, you are sure to receive 'negative' words from disgruntled buyers. But for example if you develop a game where you throw papers to co-workers who abuses you...then perhaps your game can draw some attention.

5. Free of Fail

Every small 'victory' is a celebration. In mobile games, it is always advisable to reward the players even if it is a small achievement just to motivate them to keep on playing. An intriguing gameplay logic will make your players happy.

6. Marketing

This is the most important aspect of a mobile game to be a successful one. If you can market your game properly, the results could be just phenomenal. Angry Birds has a Youtube Channel, Website, Podcast and almost every possible marketing channel out there that can reasonably market a game. Positive reviews and suggestions from users in every marketing channel, where your game has been uploaded or showcased will definitely contribute to the success of your mobile game.

The success of an iPhone game does not depend only on one of the above aspects. A combination of these tips can help a mobile game to be a successful one.
