A Nice Bump

About two weeks ago I decided to bump up the price of quadrobounce! to $1 for a week, just to see if anyone would buy it. I'd been having a steady trickle of 4-6 downloads a day (I know, watch out world), and I thought if only one of those people per day bought my game, I could buy a can of coffee or something. No surprise, zero downloads for the whole week. BIG surprise, over two hundred downloads over the weekend after the price drop.

The price dropped back to free on November 12. I had 116 downloads on that day, and 109 on the following. They were all free downloads, but still kinda cool, eh?

I don't know if someone was tracking the price, or if some automatic system watches these price changes, but it's nice to see a spike like that. What I learned is that I need to get ads in this game immediately, because there are a large number of new players.
