I really think that they should create musical instruments for the pigmies to play with.
I'd also like to suggest the idea of an outer space level.-like if your pigmie bounces too high in the Ooga Jump they will end up floating in outer space….just a thought

I wouldn't underestimate their responsiveness to their fans as a major factor in their success. If a fan offers a suggestion, then sees a response or implementation, that fan is much more likely to tell others about it. And just speaking to my own iPhone experience, iPhone owners are always asking each other if they've got any great new apps.

This is a great tamogotchi-style game with a smart business model for the iPhone. We wrote a recent blog post that featured Pocket God, and how the guys at Bolt have also set themselves up well for in-app purchases. Having spent some time in the vid game industry myself, I am always excited to see passionate, indie game devs hit paydirt. Congrats.

Dean, could you, please, link that sales chart to a high resolution version?

Is illegible as it is.

Thanks.

i think that instead of custumized pygmies, there would be one or two heads you can switch from. or one or to bodies.

An idea for pocket god: on the second island on the left, there is a rock. Behind the rock could be a little dinosaur land and there could be different dinosaurs you could kill.
One more thing: HUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got an idea for Pocket God, maybe a haunted island full of vampires and other monsters?
I came up with this when I glitched the game using the tornado, the statue and the tidal wave at the same time. I accidently created ghost pygmies.

Pocket God is a great game! It's entertainment value really spans almost all age groups. I think one of the things that makes it so popular is the care and attention the developers devote to it. They ask fans for suggestions and keep their blog fresh. I recommend it to everyone I know that has an iPhone/iTouch. I posted a little suggestion video on youtube (my very first post there) and have gotten over 5,000 hits in less than a month. That says a lot about their fanbase. I can't wait to see what Bolt Creative comes up with next!

Greetings from the Edgy Parents Guild. We've been watching.

If anyone is in the mood to troll for a wild-eyed rant on “interactive games don't kill people, lame parents kill people”, lemme know. If my kids throw anyone into a volcano in the next 20 years, I'll come back here and apologize.
