Made Doodle Ski free for the weekend : now top 25 in Germany

I have made ski free for the odd few days here and there over the year or so it has been out.

But I accidentally had set it for free this weekend.

All of a sudden, it's number 24 overall in Germany :) so am keeping it free for a while longer to see if it keeps rising.

Quite exciting, but I have a question :

Say for example (theoretically), because of this massive rise in sales, I get some sort of decent "what's hot" feature. Is it bad form to then re-set it back to a paid app?

    Cant you add " free for a limited period" in the app though? This way you can better justify setting it back for sale again later :dunno:

    Well done though :))

    Sparky, that's awesome!

    I don't see a problem with doing that. Lot's of people set their games free for a day or two or three, and then back to paid. Don't see why you couldn't either. And Lykke has a point. Maybe update the description on the app store reflecting that it's free for just a few days.

    IAPs are supposed to be coming to GS this summer....

    I'm guessing you already have links in it to your other paid apps?

    @Shaz yeah .

    Not seen much cross sell so far though, which is a shame.

    Maybe Mago is right. Not quite the same, but with a lite version - if I like it enough to keep playing, it might take me a few weeks of occasional play to finish it. So the dev would only see a full version purchase from me after a few weeks, not a few days. Maybe a lot of other people have similar times frames with their buying habits?

    7600 ish on day 3

    pretty nice numbers so far.

    Still no evidence of cross selling. But I'm happy to get the user base for the game up.. especially as we are waiting to add GC as soon as 9.3 is out.
