We will submit an update shortly with ADs in the game though.
This action was taken
1. to get the game aknowledged and maybe it will profit after we switch to paid again (what I don't really believe)
2. to have people already installed it on their devices so they will update to the AD version, which should give it a boost start
Dude u make the Illest apps
I swear u are my inspiration do you have an email? I would love to talk with you
However downloads were boosted again, when Appshopper finally updated its list and the game was mentioned on the first page (after 10-12 hours or so...)
Best,

good to see you!

It's simple. They saw that the game is successful and wanted to be a part of it. They asked me to put the FAAD text into my description and for that they put the game on their website.
I said yes, because I thought, an extra exposure is always good :-P

The game is made with unity. The point is not the engine, but the numbers. I just wanted to share (and show a bit off :-P)
---
How we went to free from paid? I don'T really understand the question :-)
Just go to iTunes Connect and change the price to free in the pricing option :-)

Actual numbers coming shortly.
At the end of the day we were:
Nr 5 Action
Nr 12 Arcade
Nr 19 All Games
Nr 23 Top Overall
The game was downloaded: 129,858 times
USA: 62,515
China: 12,780
Germany: 11,881
France: 8,041
Canada: 5,678
Taiwan: 4,082
If that is not impressive, than I don't know what is!
I find it especially interesting how powerful the USA is. My stats,although on a much smaller scale mirror the country list but sales from china are small in numbers. They just seem to download everything they can!
Nr 3 Action
Nr 6 Arcade
Nr 10 All games
Nr 11 top overall
I will post exact numbers in the evening, because now I use my phone.
Unfortunately numbers go down already. I am curious, how will it translate to paid downloads tomorrow.
I don't expect much.
Total: 142,296
By Country (not all):
United States 54,346
United Kingdom 14,052
China 11,168
Germany 10,970
Canada 7,899
France 5,887
Netherlands 4,308
Singapore 3,964
Russia 2,955
Hong Kong 2,931
Taiwan 2,738
Australia 2,522
Spain 1,664
Italy 1,560
Turkey 1,444
Wonder what the equivalent figures are for the overall paid chart? I would guess approx 25% of the above figures? Think I read somewhere that, on average, people download 4 times more free apps than paid
Cheers
P.s well done on the good download figures. It must have boosted the sales of your other games, assuming you put links in to them?
Not really exciting.
Unfortunately crossadvertisement doesn't seem to work for us.
Although there are an other games section in the app, the other games didn't get any bosst. At least nothing outstanding.
There are always fluctuations in sales based on the day of the week and other factors, but the charts don'T show anything unusual in the last days. All numbers are within the normal frames.
