Status of Upsidedown Games

egenfeldt — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 13:42:00 +0000

So we have been pushing hard to get some experiences and progress with Trunky in our new brand upsidedown games. It looks like we are slowly stabilizing with some quite promising apps. Currently we have three games in the Danish top50 for Ipad Games. We will soon launch an effort to establish us with a similar success in other local markets. It seems that the English-speaking is quite flooded, so that won’t be our main target just yet. Need to build up some traction on smaller markets first. We will over the next 6 weeks release all our games with more languages so they will include: English, German, French, Russian, Swedish, Danish, Arab, Russian and Dutch. My hope is that we can here also get 3 games in top50 Ipad games. We will also make sure all games are updated for 5.1 to take advantage of the hi-res on Ipad3 that looks cool.

Our biggest title is also imminent – the one that started the idea for Trunky. Namely, a 3D coloring games so watch out it will rock

Here is the PRESS RELEASE

A proud day for the Fishing game w. Trunky

egenfeldt — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 07:44:50 +0000

I think we finally managed to strike a balance. We are getting very good feedback on the Fishing Game, and can’t wait to see if we in 2-3 weeks time will be able to duplicate the success in the Danish Appstore. Yesterday we received 6/6 hearts from Appnyt.dk and best of all a lot of user comments who gives it high praise. An update to the game will be submitted any day, but want to make sure we get all comments from users.

Check the review here (in Danish):
