    Congrats and KUDOS!

    I played (Android) -
    Nice simple UI - Took me a few tries to figure out that it was a 'simon says' type game...
    I like all the different 'twists' and 'powerup' changes....

    My REAL question is HOW did you get so many downloads and reviews?
    I mean - it's a neat game with neat replay value - but there are thousands of those on app store(s) that get lost in the shuffle...
    Any particular marketing trick you can share?

    It's about following a given rule and trying to hit only the given color/shape, testing your reflexes and how fast you can think.

    First of all, thank you for playing and for the feedback!
    Well, It doesn't have that many downloads, on Android it has near 2000 now. Mostly what I did was posting on facebook and twitter. Twitter has a very active community of developers and on facebook you can find groups that might be interested in the game.
    I did get A LOT more downloads on windows phone because the visibility is so much better.

    Trust me - 2,000 is a LOT in this crazy world (without a formal marketing effort)- near 50 new games being published on google play store EVERY DAY!!! Kudos to you!

    Any helpful hints for building or publishing for windows phone? Do you need a separate Unity pro or windows 8 (unity) license? Any gotchas?

    Thanks!
    Unity for windows phone is free, you just need a computer with windows 8 and a microsoft dev account, that costs $20 if I'm not mistaken.
    About publishing, just make sure you submit the promotional art when you submit the game, bacause unlike google or apple, they do put random games on featured spots, and that's how I got most of the downloads.

    @SilverGames
    That's the idea! :)
