We have made our UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app for Interference<\/a> – so how do we get it seen in the App Store? It’s an indie game and it’s free to play – but so are many others in the store.<\/p>\n

However, it is also a really good game for all devices – especially those with pens, such as the Surface range – so therefore perfect for Windows Ink. It just so happens that there’s a Category in the Windows Store called “Apps for Windows Ink” – so how can we persuade the custodians of the Store to let our Interference app<\/a> in?<\/p>\n

The apps in there already have been there quite a long time and not many of them are\u00a0new and on the Universal Windows Platform – so surely Interference would fit in well and be able to show off the Ink’s awesome capabilities.<\/p>\n

However, we do not know who the mysterious custodians are – searches via Twitter or the internet do not yield any identities. Well, you can’t blame them – if they let us know who they were – they’d be bombarded with pleas, bribes and offers of all kinds of favours all day every day!<\/p>\n

So, we wondered what we could do. Then we decided – let’s mount a CAMPAIGN! We would try to impress the @windowsstore via Twitter. We started back in January – with Day 1<\/strong>. Each day since we have tweeted at the store and included an amazing gif of one of our players playing Interference by drawing a picture.<\/p>\n
