Blog post by Tiger Style Games (Waking Mars, Spider the Secret of Bryce Manor) disclosing and discussing their lifetime sales figures and life in the App Store for one indie developer.
Interesting read.
Tiger Style’s Lifetime Sales Numbers

Yeah, it is definitely an interesting read. It's too bad they don't offer a comparison to the sales for the past couple of weeks when the game went on sale.
I just started playing Waking Mars today. Holy hell, that shit is polished. On a complete other level to Spider. Jetpack controls are taking me a while to get used to though.
Be interesting to see what their sales are like now that it hit $3. I know that was enough to push me over the edge (though really, it shouldn't have been. It's only $2 FFS).
Yup, and...yup. Story-wise, it gets much, much better, too.
My iOS GotY thus far, easily.
I was browsing the store on the phone earlier and saw this "Brandnew Boy" game and it... looks pretty good and seems fun? Looks like it's some sort of Korean beat 'em up RPG, I presume it's grindy but it's not really a problem for me. Any impressions? No virtual sticks so it doesn't have the cooties as per GAF. Only post I found was GeekyDad mentioning it went on sale and loading problems on the 3GS (did you get it to run?). I should probably wait for another price drop though, it was 0.99 a couple of days ago but it's back to 3.99 now.
EDIT: I just missed your post, I guess. Umm...nah, unfortunately, I never did have any luck with it, but the dev chimed in over on TA to assure folks they were working to find the problem. I do plan to re-download it, though, if it ever receives an update. I was pretty disappointed because it looked so dang cool.
