Merry Christmas (Eve) everyone!!
Today marks the 1 year anniversary of Spazzle’s (then called Whack ‘em All) release on the Apple iTunes App Store!
Since then, we’ve released 4 additional titles and have had over 1 MILLION downloads! We’ve also developed titles for 2 other companies and have a new game almost done. We just had our [...]
First: We had to change the name of Whack ‘em All to Spazzle after a trademark infringement dispute. Our sales dropped over 50% after the name change, probably due to the brand recognition we built up around the previous name. Hopefully other indie developers will learn from our harsh lesson…

Not a bad first month! We released the 99 cent version of Whack ‘em All on Christmas Eve, 2008 and the free version on January 21st, 2009.
At the end of January, the free version of Whack ‘em All was about the 5th most popular free family game and had just entered the top 100 free [...]
I ran across Sales Report yesterday.
This is a fantastic app for iPhone that lets App Store developers track their earnings without having to log into the dreaded itunes connect page every morning. I know if other developers are like me, this is a daily chore. Not anymore! Check it out! You’ll love it! [...]
