Impossible Pixel [V1.5.1]

So cool , way to go!

I'd love to do a follow-up interview-style post with you on the creation and marketing process, if you're interested -- particularly on your experience working with AppGratis.

In the middle of this crazy past day I was completely oblivious to this one post Joe... Sorry about that ! I would absolutely love to do an interview, feel free to contact me to do it !

Thank you all for your support ! It was the weirdest day of my life so far.. I did a complete round up this morning before the app went back to its selling price and here is what I got :

It finished the day #2 in Top Donwloaded Apps in the US App Store. (In front of Plants & Zombies !)

#1 Top Downloaded App in 9 Countries
#2 in 30 Countries
Top 10 in 53 Countries

Main Countries :

#1 in Macedonia, Jordan, Romania, Lebanon, Slovakia, Croatia, Portugal, Switzerland and Uruguay
#2 in Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Bulgaria, Mexico, Albania, Pakistan, Germany, Spain, Egypt, UK, France, Luxembourg, Hungary, Belgium, US
#3 in Italy, Czech Republic, Austria

And to answer bonzero it takes apparently 633 000 downloads a day to reach those spots and 225 000 in the US. Keep those to yourself

woot over half a million!!! awesome, now pray that 10% of that will buy the game

Damn ! You're rich ! Did you pay App Gratis to get your app featured ?

I wish !!! People tend to buy more apps when they're free... I didn't pay AppGratis, I'll share more info with you when we'll do the interview with Stencyl's team.

I'll pray as hard as I can, all the gods on earth, just to be able to earn enough to make a new one.

Don't you get reports on iTunes Connect , you must know how much you got right ?

I know how many were downloaded but all those 633 000 downloads were free.

Great work

Thanks Jooohn, impressive figures, I hope one day I'm able to get something like that.
I hope it keept the great sales after it became paid, usually there should be a halo effect there.

I wonder how much it could have made if it had iAds or in-app

congratulations !! 

(Moved this to Mobile Games)

A new version of Impossible Pixel is about to be ready and we need a few people to test the game !

You can be on anything iOS, from iPod Touch 3 to iPhone 5 and iPad 3, no restriction ! Post your email here or send it to me personally and we'll send you a invite to the beta via Testflight ! I hope so see you all there !

You can also go there to get into the beta : http://tflig.ht/UEXhXf !

I wonder what ads do you use? because stencyl only can use iAD network, how you implement the other ads?

Hi John,

Congrats with Impossible Pixel.

It's really inspired me to do a fast flowing platform game now.

May I ask how successful it has been with numbers/money? How many downloads do you get a day? How much money is made from pop up ads? My last game, Simple Mind Games, launched 4 weeks ago and has around 12,000 downloads with not much marketing.

Tom

Hi Tom ! Thank you and good for you !

Impossible Pixel just passed 700 000 download. I cannot disclose the earnings but what I can say is that nothing is magical and despite everything marketing is a predominant part of the success of a product. Then if the business model works (either by In-App, ads or paid apps) and the product is good it should work overall. Study and analyze your numbers and optimize what you can !
