1 Million Downloads (and a new web site)

On Sunday February 14th, 2010 I had my first application ever to reach over 1 million downloads, BreakTheBlocks

Here is what my developers console shows as of today (Tuesday Feb 16, 2010)

Over 1 million people have downloaded this game, and half of them still have it installed on their phone

Yes, this is a free version of a paid game that sells for $1.99, but no, 1 million free downloads does not equal a super phat paycheck that I can retire off of.  I won’t release the specific number but BreakTheBlocks Full has sold between 5,000 and 10,000  copies, which are the numbers that you would find if you were reading the information about the game on the Android Market on an actual device.  So in other words less than 1% of the people who downloaded this game, and less than 2% of the install base, have decided to pay for the full game.  That is fine, I appreciate all the people that have bought the full version and welcome any and all new users.

Last week I also managed to quit cold turkey one of the most addictive substance on the planet, World of Warcraft, and in celebration of these 2 achievements I decided it was time to update my website and start working on some new Android projects.

I have already started on my next Android game, expect it to be coming out late March/early April.   What is it?  Well you will just have to wait to see.

Thank you to everyone who has downloaded this game, I hope to continue to bring fun games with mass appeal to the Android platform.
