Thanks AppStar.

AGK was new and I quite liked the broadcasting feature. Thought I would give tier 1 a try.
Tier 2 would usually be my choice since you can write platform independent modules which can be reused even if I decide to use a different tool other than AppGameKit in future. But tier 1 has some advantages too
As far as downloads are concerned, I am not too worried at the moment. Both my games were written quickly for competitions, I don't feel I have done my best work yet, I have some better games in development right now. I also make apps for other people and that brings some money in while I wait for my apps to start doing well in the stores. I am setting up cross promotion with chartboost so hopefully one successful app will help the other apps too, synergy
