hmm, I feel like a name that's short and funny would fit well since it looks like the game has a lot of moments like "ah! can't believe I didn't see that before!". I'd say "amazing brain puzzle" doesn't have that much of a ring, it's just too objective. I would suggest made up words, I like the idea of the acronym, you could do something like B.U.T.T.O.N. (Brutally Unfair Tactics Totally Ok Now).
(not related to the name but I think that in the case of hangman puzzle (for example) you could've made the obvious answer available(completing the word) but really hard, so when people think laterally, they feel extra rewarded like they're "cheating inside the rules")

Awesome feedback thanks.
I think I'll play with different acronyms and see how that affects the Google Play search algorithm.

  Our Mega Man inspired platformer has had the name "Copy Girl" as a temporary name for way too long. Our biggest issue with it is that having "Girl" in the title serves no purpose other than saying "hey you dofus, you play as a girl in this game" or "omg female protagonist so cool" The main character is called Copy, cuz she can copy the weapons of bosses. In the story you're fighting robots in the cyberspace, to stop pretty much the enslavement of the human race Been trying to thing of a final name for months now and nothing... |

Ok, here goes - someone actually brought this up to me at Invisible Arcade last night, so I'd like to submit this to you guys and get your input. The game's already released, and so changing the name at this point might be problematic, but I'm curious.

good?/bad?/why?/suggestions?
TIA

 I'm working on a LAN multiplayer team-based skirmish game, with zombies. It will have various game modes e.g. survival, king-of-the-hill. It features a map editor and will allow players to use mobile phones as controllers, so not everyone needs a computer. Working title is "Dead by Dawn".. but day/night is not a feature so this seems wrong, and maybe not a very memorable title anyhow. You may have trouble with that name – it's also the name of a band, a song, a film festival, a movie... It's also going to get lost in the piles of zombie media with "Dead" in the title. Howabout... something playing off... Urban Decay? Our Mega Man inspired platformer has had the name "Copy Girl" as a temporary name for way too long. Our biggest issue with it is that having "Girl" in the title serves no purpose other than saying "hey you dofus, you play as a girl in this game" or "omg female protagonist so cool"

I can't get away from names like RepliKate, DupliKate, DoppelGinger, some of which I'm sure are already in use. |

TolrokoAn open-world adventure-ish game set on an alien desert planet called Tolroko. The gameworld is inspired by the Barsoom books where Barsoom is the marsians name for the planet Mars.

I'm making atmospheric sci-fi 2D platformer where you explore unknown mine accidentaly discovered on 7.5 km depth built by alien civilization. You will have to operate variety of heavy mining machines and also encounter strange huge devices which among other functions can cause time distortion effects. Possible game title: ChronoMine What do you think? Is it sound mysterious, interesting and cool to you ?  |

Not sure about the name, but I love the artstyle.
I'm no name expert, but the game looks paper-y, so maybe a name that has something to do with that?

You mean like it's made of paper (it wasn't intended to be "paper-y" at all  )? |

Well that's surprising opinion . Maybe it is because I changed colors a bit. Could you look at these screenshots and tell if they also look paper-y ? http://halvedcirclesmine.com/gallery |

It still looks like paper.
It's not a bad thing, I think it looks really nice and unique.
Maybe i'm just a bit off when it comes to texture stuff.
