My first iOS game, Shellrazer, has a great launch week

Shellrazer, the game I collaborated on with Slick Entertainment and Maple Syrup Sound, launched a week ago today.

The launch has gone great. Over the weekend, on the Paid App charts, we hit #2 in Canada, #3 in Australia and #8 in the USA. We also did great in France, Germany and many other countries.

The reviews has also been outstanding. We’ve scored a couple of perfect 5/5’s and many 4.5/5 reviews.

Overall, the whole experience has been amazing and overwhelming.

Here’s the trailer for Shellrazer. If you haven’t checked it out, you can play it on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch here.
