DNK posted:I think games that rely on push notifications for their gameplay are terrible abominations. If you can design a fun game without relying on notifications to drive the user then I guess they're ok. I guess this is like "Your bank has generated $0.01 in interest! Pick it up!" every 5 minutes vs Puzzle Craft. From a dev standpoint, there's a pretty big difference between push and local notifications. Local notifs are the 'Your tiny cow is ready to harvest' messages. Push notifs come from the server and are for things like remotely triggering 'Hey! Did you know that today is Friday and therefore you should play this game right now?' for all users. I'd definitely implement local notifications if you have timer based events in the game. Most people turn them off if they don't want them and use them if they do. It's easy to get your app lost in the noise and this helps people remember that it exists and they liked it. You can get away without push notifications much easier. devilmouse posted:I can't give specific numbers, but yes, having 4.X stars has a very measurable impact on your downloads. This is entirely true.
