Thanks for posting.

Yes, Christmas day was huge. My sales went up 900% on that day and slowly have gotten back down to normal in the last few days. I would have expected Monkeys being featured by Apple to have done more movement on the graph. I suspect if you put out a free version and upsell, you'd see a big improvement. I am simultaneously releasing lite/full at the same time for all my products. Thanks for posting this info. Congrats! Yes, Christmas day was huge.

Although you're not publishing numbers this time, I hope that MiS is doing well enough for you to keep doing this. Its a great game that my whole family enjoys. Speaking of Game Jams, have you heard about / are you entering the Global Game Jam this year? Nice write up Owen.
