    Thanks!

    I will report, if things change.

    In the country list I didn't include countries with lower download rates than 10

    Looks like you are #7 in the entire app store now.
    That's incredible!!!

    You ONE-UPP'd Plants vs Zombies
  • HunnenkoenigHunnenkoenig Member Posts: 1,173
    yep :-)

    What do you think, how we feel now? :-)
  • synthesissynthesis Member Posts: 1,693
    Are you going to bump the price a buck to $1.99 to harvest the momentum?
  • HunnenkoenigHunnenkoenig Member Posts: 1,173
    No.
    It will stay on $0.99

    That we have talked about and we think, raising the price would let us look greedy.

    This money is far enough for us for now.
    The next game might be priced different, we will see.

    amazing figures....

    makes me think I should pack in the day job and concentrate on making a truly awesome game...

    well done indeed....

    right...hmm.... now how can I get fired..

    @draper

    I did pack in the day job. Only problem is i'm missing the good game lol

    I figure 24 hours in the day free to make games i better come up with something good at some point.

    I'm just saving my master game idea until i feel like i am really comfortable with game salad.
    for now though i'll just keep pumping out small games to learn and have some fun.

    The game i wanna do is actually pretty simple but i want it to be perfect.
  • HunnenkoenigHunnenkoenig Member Posts: 1,173
    @Tshirt, you may be right. We will think about it, but to be honest, it is not my decision as I am only the publisher of the game and all final decisions come from the guys, who made it. It's their game, so they must know, what to do with it :-)

    If it were mine, I would try to raise the price at latest, when it starts to lowering :-)

    @ Hunn

    I've heard the opposite story on being in the top 100.. I've heard people get a bit enthusiastic and change their price to 1.99 and they drop from the top 100 spot because of it.... I say if you're in the top 100... enjoy staying there and don't change anything! Just me 2 cents :)
  • HunnenkoenigHunnenkoenig Member Posts: 1,173
    Yeah...

    We experienced both with our other games too... although not in the top 100 :-P
    You will never know, what's best.

    But most of the most successfull games, like "flight control" never change their price....
  • JamesZeppelinJamesZeppelin Member Posts: 1,927
    aint broke dont fix it

    IMO that could replace the golden rule
  • JGary321JGary321 Member Posts: 1,246
    I would keep it at .99 unless it was already noted that it was on sale for a limited period.
  • rebumprebump Member Posts: 1,058
    Maybe add the verbage "On sale for 0.99 for a limited time..." to make them think it may go up. Wouldn't hurt I suppose.
  • design219design219 Member Posts: 2,273
    Is it cracked yet?
  • rebumprebump Member Posts: 1,058
    @design219: Yep. Check your inbox, I just sent you a copy!

    J/K! ;-)
  • HunnenkoenigHunnenkoenig Member Posts: 1,173
    It is already cracked, but they can be happy with it. We don't care. Their destiny will catch them sooner or later :-P
  • design219design219 Member Posts: 2,273
    Karma police are alive and well.
  • HunnenkoenigHunnenkoenig Member Posts: 1,173
    Nr 2 in top paid games
    Nr 3 in top paid apps overall

    :-)

    Do you think, we can beat the 25 game app?
  • EastboundEastbound Member, BASIC Posts: 1,074
    Well it has already been on the charts for a long time, so I don't see why not :p
  • JackBQuickJackBQuick Member Posts: 524

  • synthesissynthesis Member Posts: 1,693

    Thats insane..i hope we all will get to be in that position one day... :)
  • HunnenkoenigHunnenkoenig Member Posts: 1,173
    I hope too!

    We are working on two additional games at this time. I assume, they won't do much, but hope dies last :-)

    In the hungarian appstore we needed 20 downloads to get to the first place :-)

    LOL
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    amazing!!!

    knowing your sales figures trigured me to work till stupid o'clock last night on my game.

    Please keep, keeping us informed.

    I wonder why so few downloads in Ireland? oh I guess its South Ireland only, as the rest is UK?
  • HunnenkoenigHunnenkoenig Member Posts: 1,173
    Probably. I don't know :-)

    I hope, we can shortly rename this forum to the "club of iPhone millionaires" :-P
  • design219design219 Member Posts: 2,273
    Uhmmm, I think I'd like to join that club.
  • rebumprebump Member Posts: 1,058
    I just want to be a part of the "my house is completely paid off" club. That would really make life much less taxing.

    Maybe even a nice little stash in savings that generates enough interest throughout the year to pay the yearly taxes on it too.

    :-)
