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).
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!
The Doodle Dash! FGOTD promotion has only been going on for 3 hours and 18 minutes and is showing more than 2400+ new players in OpenFeint so far… and that’s just the people who clicked ‘Enable OpenFeint’ when they first install the game.
So far it’s a much better response than I expected, so hopefully post-promotion sales will also do really good. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
The OpenFeint FreeGameOfTheDay.com promotion for Doodle Dash! has begun. Go see for yourself :-)
Doodle Dash! Featured on FGOTD Tonight
OpenFeint’s FreeGameOfTheDay.com will feature Doodle Dash! starting tonight (26th) at 5pm PST to 5pm tomorrow (27th). It’ll be interesting to see what kind of effect this will have on sales after the promotion.
I’m also interested to see how many more ratings/reviews the game gets; as of right now, there are 19 (all 5-stars). When I looked at a handful of recent FGOTD apps, they all pretty much have over 50 (most have way more than that). Perhaps Doodle Dash! will get enough good ratings/reviews/popularity to give it a boost in the AppStore search rankings.
If you don’t have Doodle Dash! consider getting it now while it’s free (I’m required to set the price to free before 10am the day of the promotion, though it won’t be featured on the FGOTD site until 5pm).
