The Official Aldorlea Games Forum

So it seems that To The Moon wasn't very successful here at Aldorlea - it wasn't in Top 25 at all (compare it to Sweet Lily Dreams which made it to Number 16 in one last December week...).

Now it remains to see how much correct were my guesses for the remaining Aldorlea games rankings. One thing is for sure - MM4 is first (as far as I know it was Aldorlea exclusive in 2011 and still won the sales even if other sites were taken into account).

Nope, it's a good game but it didn't do so well on Aldorlea. Not sure why you guys were putting it so high (reviewers?).
SLD did very well though which isn't surprising since WoaR had done okay too, and the style of Arend is not so different from mine (Dreamscape is also quite a close concept to SLD's xD)

Safe bet lol

I will try Laxius Force 111

I haven't even tried To The Moon. I guess that's because at the time it came out I've still been in LF replaying fever.

Hopefully you'll have time to play TBOL when it's out lol

by **Cassiopeia** » Mon Jan 16, 2012 12:16 pm

Oh, I'll sure be done with WoaR by the time TBOL comes out. Atm I have a lot of time for playing.

I meant that I would put Laxius Force 111 into 6th position

To The Moon is a great game with a strong style, but other games such as Fated Haven or Vagrant Hearts also have their own qualities. It's interesting how people's perceptions can be affected by reviews and coverage.
I'm pretty sure people expect that what works best all the time is what is rated high and/or covered massively. But the Net has a varied range of tastes, much more varied than what appears on a few websites. I also give equal promotion to all new affiliated releases so results can be "different" for that reason: it's what YOU guys have liked, not some arbitrary decision made by me. A lot of games would do better than what they do if they received more attention.
