Major Accomplishment

When we first began work on our first title, Doodle Dash!, it’s no secret that our target keyword was “doodle” because of the popularity of that search term in the AppStore. Of course, there were endless pages of apps with “Doodle” in the title. Despite that, however, we decided to go for it anyway to see what would happen.

Fast forward to today.

Biffy just typed “doodle” in the AppStore search engine (on device) and Doodle Dash! came up as the 3rd listing, just two under Doodle Jump! (and just in case you’ve been hiding under a rock lately, Doodle Jump is one of the top games in the AppStore).

The app that appeared above Doodle Dash! had a 2 and a half star rating average with 80 ratings vs. Doodle Dash!’s 3-star rating average with 821 total ratings… with that said, we’re very happy with a 3rd place listing for the search term “doodle” in the AppStore :-)

Of course, it could very well change by tomorrow but for the time being, it’s a major accomplishment for us.

Doodle Dash! Promotion Officially Over

The Doodle Dash! FGOTD promotion is officially over as of 5pm tonight and has gone back to paid status ($0.99) … It was a great run (at least 40,000+ new downloads).

1.3 Update is in the Works

Development has been temporarily paused for our new title’s we had in development in favor of working on the next update to Doodle Dash! (1.3)

With that said, we’re putting our heads together, really trying to make sure the “Halloween” update to Doodle Dash! comes out really great.

We want all the new Doodle Dash players to stay! (all 40,036 of you)

For a sneak peak, here’s what’s currently on the roadmap for 1.3:

• New Halloween Theme (monsters w/ costumes, darker “feel” to the environment, etc. Oh, and of course… candy corns!)
• Adding the option to play as a girl Dash
• Performance enhancements (we haven’t experienced any crashes while playing Doodle Dash! but apparently a few people have according to the reviews so we’re really going to work on optimizing for better performance)
• Tweak to fix Dash’s stiff arms
• An options page (for music toggle, theme selection, and…)
• Tilt control sensitivity settings (some reviewers were complaining about the game’s tilt controls being too sensitive while some were saying it’s not sensitive enough).
• Changing mystery boxes BACK to stars (they were stars prior to version 1.2).
• More OpenFeint achievements!

We also made a shout-out for suggestions on the OpenFeint boards, so if you have something you’d really like to see in 1.3… let us know!

Dragon’s Keep made 27 sales yesterday… pretty good considering it just came out and we’ve really done no promotion yet (still waiting to hear back from the FGOTD folks).

Doodle Dash! is still on Top 25 Free (that is, until I put it back to paid status after 5pm tonight). We’re very curious to see how sales will do after it goes back to paid status. As of right now, there are 37,622 players recorded on the global OpenFeint Leaderboard for Doodle Dash!

22,969 players on the Doodle Dash! Global Leaderboard… Wow. Can’t wait to see how well Dragon’s Keep and our upcoming titles do.

Two exciting titles in the works; one directed by Biffy and the other by Jonathan… more arcade-style/pick-up-and-play/addictive action!
