We're a small team - just two of us (Howard and David), and so we really appreciate the various ways our fans, customers, and enthusiasts can support us back! This directly helps us to keep on working on updates, content, and new games to keep everyone happy and entertained!


Trying our games

The best way of all to help us is to try out one or more of our games - and if you're reading this in the help from within a game, then thank you! 

Each download counts towards the totals for the game and helps to keep our titles visible in the charts, so that more people will find and hopefully enjoy them!

We have quite a wide range of games available, and so it's wonderful if you can try out more of our titles! Where there are free downloads available, you can give lots of our games a try and just keep those which you like.  You should be able to find a "Get More Games" item on the front page of most of our games, which will take you directly to a listing on the Astraware site containing the games we have available for your device.


Purchases and Adverts

Some of our games are full ("deluxe") versions with everything built in and purchasing one of these supports us directly. Some other of our games are free to download but include additional features or content that can be purchased within the game, and some include adverts which are shown either at the top of the screen while you play, or between rounds or levels of the game (also called 'interstitials', like ads on TV).  We try to chose advert providers who have interesting and relevant ads to show, because we usually only get any payment for showing ads when a viewer decides to tap on them and find out more.

We have many players who come back and enjoy our daily games each day - seeing an advert each time after playing a Sudoku or Crossword for instance, and just that (with enough players!) is enough to support us in creating new puzzles and making them available.   We try to price our 'go ad free' options reasonably too if you'd prefer that option, and we're delighted to have players who love our games enough to want to play without any interruption.


Social Support

You can also support Astraware by visiting our Facebook page (or put in a quick search for 'Astraware' at the top) and "liking" Astraware, or any of the games in particular we have listed. We don't post a constant stream of spam, or demand that you send invites to your friends, but some of your friends will see what we do - especially if you 'like' any of our posts or games - and take a look for themselves because they trust your opinion.

We're also on Twitter - follow us @astraware where we announce news and also share anything we find particularly interesting (games, new technology, anything funny and nerdy!)



Becoming a Tester

For every new game, and most of our game updates, we offer these to our lovely group of Beta Testers who offer to try out the games on their devices and give us feedback (things they like, things they suggest, and things that aren't working right yet!).  We run our beta tests through a Facebook group and Google Plus Community. We don't expect our testers to try out every game - just the ones that interest them as we go along.



Thanks very much for reading and your support! - Howard & David
