Lots of Updates!

Another eventful few weeks have gone by and it’s April!
With that in mind, here are some updates:
sin(Surfing)‘s statistics have been released and we learned that we received ~80,000 downloads and had about a 3% conversion rate so HUGE thanks to everyone that bought the game!
BattleSweeper unfortunately did not do nearly as well so I won’t state the numbers here.
And lastly, the TIGSource Cockpit Competition (extended) deadline was today at midnight so I will reveal my entry that I have been working on recently: Detective Crash
I’ll be polishing up the game over this week but for now, it is playable so check it out. I’ll post here again once I’ve got it to a v1.0!

Hey congratulations no such success with sin(Surfing) and on completing Detective Crash in time for the competition! A 3% conversation rate is pretty good, what’s your secret?
Also, when I looked for BattleSweeper about a week after its release it was very difficult to find. I ended up having to browse through the list of games starting with “B”… I think that the marketplace has gotten crowded and Microsoft hasn’t implemented a good discovery mechanism yet, so most likely people are having a hard time finding your game. All of this is to say I think the game was great and more than likely the problem was getting it into the hands of your customers.
