Hi Stencyl!

So Colburt187, myself, a super talented musician only known as IsYourGuy, and GeorgeN -who did a ton of work on the Android side of things- released a new game called WRASSLING yesterday.

On iOS!

And Android!

Wrassling is an F2P  wacky physics arm-flailing-simulator where the goal is to wrassle as many opponents out of a wrestling ring as possible, and not get wrassled out yourself.



There are also hats in Wrassling that can be unlocked by completing tasks (custom achievements, basically), watching video ads, or purchasing the iap to remove ads for $1.99.



So we released it yesterday and ended up getting a Best New Games feature in the US store, which has been amazing! My best guess is that happened because the reviews have been extremely positive. We're currently at 5 star ratings on iOS, 4 on Android, and 4 on TouchArcade.

Pocket Gamer gave it a score of 8 out of 10 and wrote a really lovely article.

148 Apps gave it 4.5 stars and wrote a pretty nice article.

AppSpy did a neat preview video.

And yeah that's p much Wrassling! We're currently collecting feedback and bug reports (there are a bunch) so if you check it out and have any suggestions please let me know :)

Congrats on the feature! We'll be adding this to the showcase for sure.

Right now, it's #30 on the Top Free Games chart for the US.

Advert revenue is good.

Sitting in the top 10 in the US and Canada on iPhone and top 5 on ipad today.

all going pretty good apart from a freezing but that appears to be related to admob.

Also: Wrassling has 218 ratings sitting at 4.5 stars. I've never had any of my games receive such positive response in such quantities.

Excellent job guys and thanks for sharing the data! It's interesting and awesome that Apple featured a silly app like this.

We just pushed out an update (requested an expedited review to make it happen) that addresses a nasty bug that made the game freeze up after pressing restart.

As a result of that, there are no reviews showing up so we would super appreciate it if people could update and write a review for the new version :)

I did notice the text would sometimes overlap if there was quick events happening that requires text to pop up.

Cool game tho - I think you guys stuck with good style and humor to make everything come together.  It knows what it is and takes itself lightly - which I think a lot of people can dig into.

Congrats.  Love the name, Wrassling... lol, and the in-game simple tutorial made me laugh.

Thanks! Also, the update fixed the overlapping text issue :)
