Four in the Ten

It has been a week of tragedies! Michael Jackson...Farrah Fawcett...Ed McMahon...now Pocket God leaves the iTunes TOP TEN! If one goes back in time (or at least checks out this blog's archive) they will see that we entered the top ten around Feb 22...which puts us at 4 solid months in the top ten. Okay, maybe we dropped out briefly at one point, but I think we did pretty good. Who knows...if Apple gets off their butt and approves our releases faster, we could go back up, but I don't think we can count on it. Furthermore, we did NOT win a Meffie :( Real Football or something like that won the game category. Besides, as many people have pointed out, Pocket God isn't really a game!

But to celebrate our big 4-10, I thought I'd post a video I sent to the Meffies. They asked for 30 seconds of game footage, and mentioned if we set it to music, they'd likely use it in their show. Not really sure if they did, but this is what I sent. (I didn't post it on YouTube due to the music licensing issue)....the song is by the Ting Tings, fresh off my iPod.

P.S. "Stop, My App is On Fire" (that has the bonfire) is still in review. the review process seems to be going over 2 weeks nowadays..so we're working on the next update "Flipping the Bird" and spending extra time on it.

  4. Well you had a good run I bet not many apps manage 4 months it's funny though it's just left the top ten in America but in England its 23rd and slowly dropping I hope we get at least a few more updates or the new you were talking (the action 1 cause I heard you started that before you will start pg2)

  5. I just wanted to say that you do something wrong. I don't know what but I asked some people and they 8 of 10 didn't like the game and from the 8 all downloaded the game before one month.

    So many people who downloaded the game in the first months and loved it, still love it. But you get less new lovers.

    Maybe you don't see that like me but that's what i think

  6. St. I was nearly devastated and almost had a heart attack when I saw yesterday it was number...eleven. I've been watching closely hoping this wouldn't come. But I seriously yelled "why" at the top of my lungs and then hit the nearest thing(my brother)

  8. That is one amazing video... I'm sorry it didn't make the meffies. Congrats on the top ten for four months though!!! I'm sure that's an appmaker's dream.

  10. Congrats on four months in the top ten, which you are still in!!!!!!!!!! I also would like to point out that Pocket God is truly a game. Sure there is no real plot or a major goal, but that is the same with other games too. The definition of not a game is something like a fart button. It has no purpose. Pocket God has purpose, and the sooner Apple realizes that and Pocket God number one perminantly the better. :)

  11. I checked like 5 times and you were: 11th, 10th, 11th, 9th, and then right now 9:00pm eastern you are ten.
    Oh and i was wondering about how to become a beta tester, do you need to work for apple? cuz i saw saintsalive on the list but i thought he was just a fan. Can someone please tell me? thx.

  13. Huge congratulations, you guys definitely deserve it. I don't really understand why Apple is so great at everything but apps. You would think it wouldn't be that hard to manage.

    Anyways I look forward to every update and I will continue to support PG for a long time. Also, its still in tenth place where I am.

    Hello!! Allan!!
    I am happy because Pocket God is out of top ten BECAUSE THE OTHER APPS HAVE A LIMITED TIME OFFER!! WHEN THEY FINISH HAVING IT, POCKET GO WILL COME ONE MORE TIME TO THE TOP TEN

    I have a question to you ALLAN, Can you 2 talk with apple to make an agreement for the app updates?

    The video was really COOL!! I think you should put in the start of pocket god the bolt creative logo and then a small animation when the pocket god logo falls on the pygmies while it charges

    PLEASE HEAR MY COMMENT!!!, AND IF YOU CAN, COULD YOU REPLY IT TO ME YOUR ANSWER?

  20. Has any app been there longer?

  21. hello bolt, i know that the less frequent updates slowly driving down the sales of this app so i think this is what you can consider doing.

    its not likely for apple to approve the updates within a week of submission, so why dont you just package two updates into one submission at a time? you have done that before! as long as you announce that it is two updates, i think people will appreciate what you are doing and keep the purchases strong. just something to think about!
