Comment on Tuning Canabalt (explaining all the basic systems)

Comments

how well has canabalt sold?

totally different genre but i'm curious after reading about minecrafts success.

115,000 copies as of March 2010 according to http://www.next-gen.biz/features/gdc-semi-secret-talk-canaba...

$2.99 * 115,000 copies = $343,850

That was over the course of 5 months = $68,770 per month

Impressive for a game that took 5 days to develop.

is app store their only sales vector? seems like it.

You could also play it online via flash. But that's free.
