Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know that Penguin Pounce is going free starting tomorrow, Saturday, through Sunday night!
Get it while you can for free before it goes back to $.99!

If you have time, please rate and review.

----------------------
Just some video gameplay that I found on Youtube recently.
Please note that the game doesn't look like it does in the video. In the video it looks stretched.

    Hope it goes well. You never know what might happen on the app store. It still feels all very random to me.

    Thanks, @HoneyTribeStudios, we'll see how it goes.

    nice even tho i already have the complete version, bought it ;), so how been the sales iam planning on releasing a very similar game, i bet you've seen it "block bear" oh btw, just PM you, great game indeed :)

    @lightbulb - sales aren't really good at all. :\

    I would recommend, if you have Pro, to do 20 or so levels free, then add the others for an IAP. As It seems Penguin Pouce Lite is getting more sales by far then the full version. :P

    oh well I don't have pro :(, i was expecting to buy it with the revenue, anyway i guess i'll release the other two games i have under my sleeve, anyway they are both endless games :P

    did you go through free-app-a-day?
  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273
    No, I wouldn't pay thousands of dollars to use them.
  • poopdecksweeperpoopdecksweeper Member Posts: 180
    ohhhh, I didn't know you had to pay them! thats funny.

    Of course. I hope to have more then 12,000 a day... We'll see.
  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273

    I highly doubt that there will any sales...but I hope some downloads. :-)
  • LeonardDeveloperLeonardDeveloper Member Posts: 4,630
    @braydon_Sfx
    Well I Ment downloads :D Do you have play haven and iAds set up? It would be interesting for you to see if you earn more money on it that way..
    Just my two cents :D

    Nope, nothing in the full version.
    My intent, and I don't know if it'll work or even if it's a good idea, is to get thousands playing the full version, then add IAP to unlock new levels. The update will come out, bam, thousands have it instantly.

    We'll see how it goes. :P

    Sounds like a good plan... But My idea of it is maybe people may not update?
  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273
    I would think most would. It would get really annoying If every time you saw your app store app, it had 100 little blinking lights... :P

    Just downloaded, will leave a UK review in a bit
  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273
    Thanks! Every bit counts.

    Holy Crud, I guess that's a good thing, is it not?
    Is that a popular site, I've never seen it..

    Thanks for the info!
  • HoneyTribeStudiosHoneyTribeStudios Member Posts: 1,792
    Yeah that's cool they picked up on your game without you contacting them.
    No idea how popular they are. Just saw it as I've been sending out messages to any free app site/twitter/facebook pages I can find.
  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273
    Alright, update time.

    Yesterday, Penguin Pounce had 4,500 downloads. That's pretty good, we'll see how it goes today.
  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273
    Just a reminder - Today is the last day to get Penguin Pounce for FREE.
    It wall go back to paid tomorrow.
  • UnicornInvasionUnicornInvasion Member Posts: 301
    Good Luck! I got both the Penguin Pounces!
  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273
    @UnicornInvasion - thanks! If you feel like doing so, please leave a review!

    Okay, so Penguin Pounce has gone back to paid, and I would like to post the results here.

    Total downloads for the two days it was free: 8,602 downloads.
    Not as much as I was hoping, but what can you do? :)

    It was an interesting test, I might do it again in the future, we'll see.

    Best of luck with downloads, have you got any paid games advertised within?

    Did you get any increment in sales when you made it paid again?, also Darren suggestion its a must IMO. You´d be surprise the bump in sales you get in your other apps if you advertise them in a free app that gets 5k+ sales a day.
