Cross the finish line without second-guessing every detail

A thorough pre-launch review of your store presence — icon, screenshots, copy, and submission steps — so your game arrives on the store the way it deserves to.

// the promise

What the Tune-Up delivers

A store presence that works

Your listing gets read by a fresh pair of eyes — checking that the icon, screenshots, and copy actually communicate what makes your game worth downloading.

A submission guide for your project

Not a generic checklist pulled from the internet — a guide written around your specific build and the stores you're targeting, so you know exactly what comes next.

Calm going into launch day

Knowing that someone has looked through your store presence carefully means the final stretch feels measured rather than rushed. Less second-guessing, more confidence.

// the problem

The last stretch is harder than it looks

You've spent weeks or months building something. The game works. You know what it is. And now, just as you're ready to submit, the store demands all these things you hadn't thought about in detail — screenshots in specific dimensions, a short description that has to sell the game in two sentences, an icon that reads clearly at 60 pixels.

Most developers handle this stage alone, late at night, slightly exhausted from the build. The results tend to be fine — but fine isn't quite the same as considered. A description that's slightly muddled, a screenshot order that buries the best moment, an icon that competes poorly with neighbouring tiles.

None of it is catastrophic, but it does affect first impressions. And first impressions on a store page are measured in seconds. This service is for developers who'd rather handle that stretch carefully than hastily.

// the solution

What a careful review actually covers

The Tune-Up works through your store presence methodically — not looking for big problems, but checking that each element is doing its job clearly. We look at the icon with fresh eyes (does it hold up small?), work through the screenshots (do they show the game, or just a moment?), read the store copy aloud (does it flow?), and then write a submission guide that reflects your specific build.

The output is a set of written notes with specific, actionable observations — not vague suggestions — plus a step-by-step submission guide you can follow directly.

What the review covers

  • Icon review — legibility, clarity at small sizes
  • Screenshot order and framing assessment
  • Store description and short description proofreading
  • Keywords and metadata suggestions
  • Tailored submission guide for App Store, Google Play, or both
// the experience

A measured, unhurried process

1

Share your store materials

Send us your current icon, screenshots, and store copy drafts — whatever you have. We'll let you know if we need anything else before starting.

2

We review everything carefully

We work through each element without rushing. The review typically takes three to four working days from the point we have everything we need.

3

You receive notes and your guide

A written review with specific observations and your tailored submission guide lands in your inbox. You can act on the notes at your own pace before submitting.

The pace throughout is deliberate. We're not rushing you to the store — we're helping you arrive there with everything in order. If something in the review prompts a question, we're here to answer it before you submit.

// the investment

One fixed price for a complete review

Store-Ready Tune-Up
One build, one complete pre-launch review
$380

Everything included

  • Icon legibility and clarity review
  • Screenshot order and framing notes
  • Store description and short description proofread
  • Keywords and metadata suggestions
  • Tailored submission guide (App Store, Google Play, or both)
  • One follow-up question round before you submit

For a game you've invested real time in building, $380 for a considered review of everything a new player sees first is a reasonable final step. The alternative — discovering a muddled description or an unclear icon after launch — tends to be harder to fix.

// the proof

Why store presentation shapes early downloads

A browser on the App Store or Google Play spends a few seconds looking at your listing before deciding whether to tap through. In that window, the icon, the first screenshot, and the first line of the description each carry significant weight. Small problems at these points — an icon that's hard to read at thumbnail size, a description that starts with a tagline rather than a clear hook — have a measurable effect on conversion.

These aren't hard problems to fix, but they're easy to miss when you've been staring at your own game for months. A set of fresh eyes and a structured review process catches most of them before the listing goes live.

What you can rely on

Specific notes, not vague suggestions

Everything in the written review is actionable. We don't say "improve the screenshots" — we say what we observed and why, so you know what to work with.

The submission guide is written for your project

We don't hand you a generic checklist. The guide is written around your build, your platforms, and your current readiness — so the steps are relevant from the first line.

You set the launch timeline

There's no pressure to submit immediately after the review. Take the time you need to act on the notes. We're available for follow-up questions before you go live.
