How to Get People to Buy Your $2 iPhone Game

Yesterday morning during my usual scan of my rss feeds I saw the trailer video to Time Ducks.

I watched it. It made me laugh. It made me curious. I went to the app store. It’s £1.49. I bought it.

Conventional wisdom would have it that pricing such a simple game (it’s Frogger, with the controls of Flight Control and some basic time manipulation) shouldn’t be more than 69p.

And then I shared the video. And then I blogged about it.

I know about another game coming up that’s about to have a trailer filmed featuring dogs in hats. I can’t wait!

    Yeah, our whole company is hoping that we will be able to hit this kind of absurdity with our video. This one is truly mind boggling though, so it may be hard to hit.

    Both me and yann have experienced first hand the power of insane youtube videos, so we are going to try our hardest.
