Hello there, how are you?
As some of you know, e-Pig Rope was free for yesterday (I will extend that promotion for today 2).
It makes 23.000 downloads! Thats to much!
It`s in top 100 OVerall in USA!

51 in All Games, 16 in Games Action and 12 in Games Adventure! Just in one day.
Now is Ranked in 67 countries rather than 27.
And in more than 40 countries Ranked in Top Overall. (11 of them better than top 100)
My best is 14 Top Overall in Slovakia.

I want to have advice on what to do. Yesterday e-Pig sold twos a normal day, thanks to e-Pig Rope free strategy.

I can Return to price, and see what happen.
I can leave it free… and sell more of my other apps maybe, get more people to know my ePig Games brand and website, and in the future have an update with iAds.

Or another Option! Help!

Thanks!

    Thats amazing!!!

    I'm not sure what you should do but those figures are GRrrrreat:)

    If you have other games that are linked from this maybe leave it until it drops down the charts then put it back to paid?

    I was getting up to 10,000 free downloads per day when I put iSUB up for free (mostly France, Russia and Hungary)..but it went back to 1 sale every other day when I put the price back to paid....

    so for me, the free pricing didnt really help much, other than to help boost the ego when you see your app actually in the charts, and shifting what looks like promising numbers.

    I need to get it updated, and include a link to Mole in a Hole to see if any of those free iSUB units help generate any sales for the new game.

    Maybe instead of a free complete game, give away a lite version, with a few levels only, showing a link to the full game, might generate more sales?

    E-pig Rope looks to be an excellent game, by the way! It deserves to sell, in my opinion!

    Actually I think you should put it as paid now, and when you submit your sequel then you make it free to create some more hype for the second
