eddylkhon Do you like "Monster Smash", the name of my whack-a-mole style iphone game?

A follow up: How about "Tap the Monster"?

"Tap" is a easier vocabulary that more Chinese (who are not good in English) understands, comparing to "Smash".

eddylkhon Why does my iPhone game, Thick Lips, suck in United States?

So, what's the difference between Thick Lips and Fat Lips? I am a Chinese who doesn't understand the language quite well. It seems Americans will use "fat" instead of "thick" to describe the lips?

Besides that, according to other comments, "Thick Lips" sounds like it might be a racist slur against black (African) people. Do you think "Fat Lips" will get rid of this issue, or I should try another completely different name?

Thanks for your brainstorming anyway :)

eddylkhon Why does my iPhone game, Thick Lips, suck in United States?

Thanks for your explaining the US culture. It helps a lot, especially for a Chinese like me who watches a lot of Hollywood movies without having been to United States.

I've tried searching the copy editor, and it seems it worth to try those service.
