10Up - Could This Be The Next Big Puzzle App?

With the rise and fall of apps, both big and small everyone starts to wonder what is the next big app? This year alone in 2014 we have had the likes of Flappy Birds and 2048 among all the big corporations but these cases are the ones that make many think about this next big app. Although there are many great apps being published daily, which of these will captivate the app user world?

Well, the wait may be over. There is a new app on the block.

It's available on Android - and it's FREE.
The game is called 10Up. It's a number puzzle game that was conceived from a popular game played on Sydney's Cityrail trains where you join 4 numbers (which is the ID of the train carriage/car) to make 10. Sounds simple enough? Well this is only one key factor in all good games and it doesn't end there.

Another key factor is to make it simple to play, but at the same time challenging enough to keep someone engaged and hopefully playing again. There is a points system to this game, where the closer to 10 you get, the more points you get. When you do get a 10, you get a 10Up. This gives you point boosts based on your streak. You must get as many 10Ups as possible before time runs out!

The app looks beautiful with a very simple UI with animations. The game is very addictive and there is an easy mode available to help you learn the game. It is designed to be suitable for children and can be used as an educational app. You can beat your score and share your results too. The developer is also updating the app constantly and quick to respond to user feedback.

With all these factors, it's no wonder that 10Up could be your next app and that of many others and it's free! So why wait any longer? Download 10Up right now - I'll provide you the link:

And then post your high score! Mine is 620 points. Can you beat it?

10-Up: Getting recognized

Today I tried to get 10-Up reviewed by more reputable review websites such as windows8core and betanews.com.
It's pretty tough to get noticed. 10-Up has done quite well getting into the top 100 paid apps in the Windows Store within the first 2 weeks (albeit jumping in and out in terms of rankings) and now to push to the next level where it gets well into hundreds of downloads, I feel 10-Up needs some reputable review sites to do a piece on it, also further development to be made for the users who play the game, to try and provide both a better experience and allow more content.

More marketing needs to be done to help as well including gameplay videos and marketing videos.
To help with this, I have also started making a list of feedback from users on my website. This is located at www.andrewsario.com/10-Up.php
I will use this location for the page until I get a subdomain or a domain setup for it.

To move keep the Facebook page fans engaged, I have also started random challenges where I post an image of a sample puzzle, allowing users to put in their answer.

It's hard to keep up with the market, but I will continue to work as best I can.

In the meantime here's a sample of a puzzle posted on the Facebook page:
