Oh! Random idea. How about having multiple levels of difficulty?
"Every 5 words you gain an additional 15 seconds. "
Easy would be, say, every 5 words gives you 20 more seconds. Medium would be 15 seconds, and hard would be 10 seconds. Something like that!

Yeah, that actually makes more sense right. Right now the normal, lightning, and chaos modes have very little to differentiate each other from. Essentially, the normal mode is 4 times as long as the chaos mode, with really no other difference. At least varying the seconds would make the difficulty more palpable.
Just to add, what are your ideas to promote such apps? We are looking forward to create a lot more.
If you could include a tournament ladder that requires a paid version of the app it might work.
We do have an online leaderboard. Is that what you are referring to ? For the paid version, we were thinking to remove all the ads - price it around $1.99 ?
I think one thing we do have to improve is the speed of the submission of a word. Seems like its quite slow on older gen phones.
Cool! Nice job, looks great for a first app :)
I am happy to say that after almost a month on the market most of the goals were met! I post this today as we cross the $25 revenue generated via ads. I still don't have a sense of marketing, but we do have approximately 1900 active users of the game, and is growing daily! Any marketing ideas are greatly appreciated.
Some shameless self promotion - our game is on the android market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smallsteps . We also have a write up on my website: http://www.achinbatra.com/firstapp . Any suggestions, comments are welcome. Thanks!
