Apple’s current #1 download is Skee-Ball! On Christmas Day, Freeverse sold 47,926 copies of Skee-Ball at $0.99 generating roughly $33,000 in sales after Apple’s 30% cut.
Bring the fun of the boardwalk to the palm of your hand with 3D graphics, great physics, and awesome prizes. A true American classic.
While scoring points, you can grab star bonuses that offer multipliers. As you try to beat your high score, you gain tickets to reedem items to add to your loot or change the experience of the game. With the addition of Plus+ that shows the leaderboards and awards it is a hit.
The main part of skee-ball is trying to interact with the physics of the runway and the holes. Freeverse nailed this with their Nvidia physics engine that shows realistic bounces and speed as you try to make your way to the top. Hopefully this engine will be incorporated into other games to add this wonderful realistic feel.
Skee-Ball is easy to learn and easier to love: Play by simply flicking your finger across the screen or making a bowling motion. Tilt the iPhone/iPod Touch to add spin. Simple to play, almost impossible to stop playing!
