So I've made this iPhone game..

1 points by innernode ↗ HN
It's simple and a lot of fun; based on the Japanese game show Silent Library. It started out as a game for me and some of my friends who are fans of the show, but after several parties where everyone wanted to play when we got started I decided to take the app to the App Store. It has sold 5 copies in as many days... Any tips on how I can market this app? Any success stories amongst the news.ycombinator readers?

play a game with your friends, upload to youtube, hilarity ensues.
Silent Library is probably the least exciting name for an App ever. You need to play up the naughty/dangerous/outrageous angle.
Well it's a group effort - and when people get into it, it's hilarious. I've placed it into the Entertainment category rather than the Game category. Maybe that will help...
I'm not sure if marketing will help much. The game doesn't seem to be interesting.
