The game looks nice. Only thing about the trailer is that the effect for the writing doesn't look good (it's that default text thing that iMovie has). Although, that's more of a personal preference of mine. Besides that, I like it. Nice job!
@muoch10 I thought about that, but in the end I just decided to use the default text. Next time I'll probably use a different font though. Thanks for the advice
Update: PetRun is now 'In Review'! The update should be out soon.

@HalfBakedProductions - Great job, especially for your first time! One thing I would recommend: Don't blur our and have small titles in the middle of the screen. The blur takes you away a bit from the gameplay.
I tried it out I like the sounds you chose...what's your source for finding sounds? Also noticed the parallax scrolling...nice work. Did you reskin or did you GameSalad "code" from scratch?

I use bfxr for all my sound effects (for 8-bit games), and Newgrounds, a website where indie artists can post their music, audio, art, etc. that they have made for almost all my game music.
I coded everything from scratch, as I wanted to learn as much as possible (this being my first game). If I came across a bump, such as when setting up IAPs, I looked at a tutorial
This thread started almost 3 months ago, how long do you plan to keep it alive haha. (not trying to sound mean). I think you should start showing off your next game.
@LooseMoose, I know, my next game will be out soon. Part of the reason why it is still "alive" is because I have released PetRun for different platforms, and did not want to release multiple threads.
Also, it seems like it is common practice for many (but not all) of the "Announce Your Game" Threads to last for a while
Nice job! I hope to be there very soon releasing my first game/app ever. I am just starting work on it now so it may take a bit. I wish I had gotten started at your age, instead I am 29 and just getting a start, I guess it is never too early or too late! Its crazy where you can find inspiration!

I'd love it if some fans of PetRun free could write a nice review for PetRun
(not trying to sound mean). I think you should start showing off your next game.
