Are your games selling?

I am curious.

I’ve seen some folks here talk a bit about their sales successes in a few threads. I know the folks at ezone.com frequent the forums here and have been open about their sales figures in the beginning, which has been really helpful for the rest of us!

That said, there are a few apps currently in the top 100 total paid apps list that are based on Unity3D iPhone.

Zombieville USA
Monster Trucks Nitro
Crazy Snowboard
Rasta Monkey

If that’s not a ringing endorsement, I don’t know what is :smile:

Zombieville has thus far generated nearly 88 million in sales.

Are you Sure ? :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

LOL :smile:

I wish! Its been doing very well though, still clinging onto the top 3.

6

LOL 88 million?! that’s per day right? that’s what i heard…

7

PirateNinjaAlliance - Everytime I open the app store, I’m thrilled to see Zombieville in the top slots. Nice work.

My wife is hooked on Zombieville. I know what it’s like trying to sleep with shotguns going off and Zombie heads exploding right next to me… :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m hooked on sheepstacker :smile:

88 million – I think that’s at least 2 copies for every iphone/ipod touch in existence! :slight_smile:

Crazy Snowboard at #30 is selling approx 1500 units per day on weekdays, and around 25% more on weekends. I think what’s worked for us is: changing price to 0.99 and making a lite version.

My guess is the top slots are doing 10,000 units a day…

11

Wait. So, like, $1,500 per day?! :shock:

I might have to look into this iPhone thing. :slight_smile:

12

Wow, that is awesome! Congratulations mate! :slight_smile:

13

Yay! :smile:

I wish more people were… :frowning:

14

no good sales? i’ve tested several apps and the only one i really play is sheepstacker. no idea why but i’m trying hard to get higher into the sky - these helicopters etc are really annoying - i always run into the concentration failure trap when they appear in the scene :slight_smile:

15

Aha, so the helicopters DO work! :wink:

But yeah, not the best sales. We’ve gotten good reviews, and we’re doing marginally better now that we’ve released a lite version. Still, not doing so well. We weren’t able to get coverage from Touch Arcade, so we’re thinking that’s part of it.

Of course, it could also be the theme. Maybe people don’t like stacking sheep!

16

Ok it’s war now!!!

Zombieville vs Sheepstacker.

May the best Unity game win the bedroom wars…

Sheepstacker purchased and downloading :slight_smile:

17

Maybe if you swapped the sheep for Zombie heads that you stacked onto a big spike with lots of blood :wink: JK - but it does seem that the iPhone demographic is male 15-30 that want titles like Zombieville, Touchgrind, Wolfenstein, Metal Gear Solid, Nitro Trucks, etc.

However, I totally understand your frustration - you have a great game, and I bet if you got a feature in the app store it would go top 10.

18

Haha, I admit that Zombieville definitely relies on goofy, over-the-top violence as part of its appeal. I doubt it would have been as successful if their heads exploded into rainbows and candy canes.

A lot of people have asked about sales figures - we had about 150,000 downloads in March (most of which at the current price of $2). Last week was particularly crazy, averaging 7000 downloads a day - I think GDC, our lite version, and a review on destructoid.com were the source.

What is a “lite” version? Like a free demo?

20

Yeah, exactly.
