It’s been a while since iFart Mobile was released into the App Store(December 12th), and in just 10 short days it went all the way to the #1 spot(December 22nd). The press, along with dropping the price down to $0.99(December 14th), is obviously what make it skyrocket to the top so fast.
It’s been known that holding the #1 spot of the paid apps list can earn something like 13,000 dollars a day(before Apple’s 30% cut). And if you’re lucky enough to have that spot during a big holiday(like Christmas), then you can almost triple that amount(selling 38,927 copies).
I’ve been sort of ashamed since December 22nd when iFart Mobile claimed the top of the throne. I thought it was all based around hype that would soon diminish. . .but sadly I was wrong. For 22 days iFart Mobile set atop the Best Paid iPhone Apps list, until today. Now we have a new application called iShoot which when you break it down is a clone is the famous PC game, Scorched Earth.
There are some differences, beyond the game, that I would like to mention real quick. iShoot was released back in October(the 19th to be exact), so it’s like we have a sleeping giant on our hands. Another key different in Ethan’s approach is that he didn’t have to drop the price to get that #1 spot. I’m not saying that Joel had to drop iFart Mobile down to the $0.99 price point to get to the top, but he did. This means with that Ethan will be making 3 times the amount that Joel made(assuming he’s selling 13k units per day as well). It will be interesting to watch this and see how the 3 dollar price point will affect how long iShoot remains in the #1 spot.
So, as I said. . .iShoot is like Scorched Earth. The goal is to destroy all of the other tanks on the screen. You can play against the computer. . .or you can play with your friends(up to 3 others). The downfall is that there isn’t an online mode, or even wifi mode. So you have to pass your iPhone or iPod Touch to the next person when it’s their turn.
iShoot comes with 25 different weapons to choose, from shells, missiles, cluster bombs, and even nuclear weapons. This are very similar to the weapons used in the games you remember, no matter which versions you played.
No items, feed is empty.
i don’t get iit why all these fart apps are so popular. Like there’s nothing else that could be entertaining. Freaks.
