Dapple Sale Has Started! 40% Off!
March 12th, 2009
Dapple is now 40% off for a limited time! The price has been reduced to $2.99 in the US and Canada (and accordingly around the world). Dapple Lite should be out any day now, so we’re celebrating early with a sale!
You can download Dapple from the App Store here: iTunes Link
We’re hoping that Dapple Lite will be approved any day now. If you’re still waiting to be able to try the game before buying it, don’t worry, we’ll be extending the sale until at least a few days after the Dapple Lite launch.

Nice review over on 148apps.

Congrats, you are actually doing a perfect marketing campaign (heard about viral spread?).
In my opinion publishing the numbers was a great idea and it will bring a whole lot of sales, but maybe not the 9k you need…
keep it up!

Could you slim Dapple Lite down a little? I think you’d get more downloads if it fit under the 10MB limit.
I have to agree with the comment about slimming Dapple Lite down in size.
It is never a bad idea to state the truth. You have a lot more quiet supporters than loud detractors. Please do not stop posting. Thanks.
Another important thing is to put across the fact that would you qualify the effort as of a hobbyist trying to enjoy the time while something is being developed or a professional game developer. Getting a game to market is easy when it is not done by Professional. The game is good but programming/Dev is week or looks like it is done by a Non-Game Programmer. It can be done under 1 MB if done right. This is to help you understand that there is more to development then just the Game Idea.
