I'm Buyin' Coffee

[Michael Burford]

Hi all!

Back in October, a group at the Tuesday NSCoder Night at Zoka got throwing around silly ideas, and Brian Dorsey came up with one: that scene from Aliens with the knife.  Everybody laughed, even those at the next tables who were trying to do homework.  I said something like "one of us needs to go home tonight and make that".  Brian was nice enough to say "Go for it, I cede it to you."  So we did.  

It came out last November, and didn't do much.  It had the bad luck to come out during an iTunes bug where the New Releases were broken, so by the time it appeared it was buried pages deep.  But we stuck with it with some ads and did some interesting things to promote it.

That got us the right article at the right place (Krapps.com)  Then this past week things got crazy and it exploded!  Up to the #1 free game and the #2 free app.  You can see the graph here:

So this next Tuesday, I'm buying coffee for whoever comes to the NSCoder Night to celebrate!  It's at the Zoka near U-Village (not at the one where it used to by by Greenlake), starts at 7.
