That’s right, folks. iBailout!!, the world’s greatest game about the Federal Reserve and most loving and innovative Ms. Pac-Man homage is asking for your support in the 28th Annual Golden Joystick Awards.
In the Downloadable, Portable, and Ultimate Game of the Year Categories, iBailout!! is counting on your votes to propel it onto the Golden Joystick Awards Shortlists and beyond.
Should have posted this info about 10 weeks or so ago, but here it is now and better late than never, I trust:
It’s kinda foggy after a couple months and I don’t have all of the exact details at the tip of my fingers (and, besides, the iPhone 4G leaked; what’s a Haiti?), but iBailout!! moved 56 copies, at $1.99 a pop, from 1/25 – 1/31, the week for which we donated its sales towards Haiti disaster relief, and iLikeCereal!! moved around 30 or 40 copies during the longer period that we donated its sales, also at $1.99 a piece. After Apple’s cut, that leaves us with $1.40 to donate per copy of iBailout!! and iLikeCereal!!, so we ended up raising a little over $100 to help out Haiti.
Hey, all. The world’s greatest developers of the world’s greatest game about the Federal Reserve/innovative Ms. Pac-Man homage, iBailout!!, are back from GDC (about a week ago, actually, but who’s keeping track?) and it was most definitely solid and we are feeling very much inspired–nay, cocksure, even. I was tweeting and blogging the entire conference @marronigames and posting the day’s impressions for Complex. Here’s the whole spicy enchillada in one handy place, along with some nice exclusive business just for you fine visitors of this here MEE site. Dig in and iBailout!!, people:
