I was just taking a look at Google Play, the new place to grab your games for Android, and noticed Rick O'Shea is staff picked on the front page! This is great exposure for YYG, congratulations!

Very impressive. Between 100,000 and 500,000 installs so far. YoYoGames is becoming a major mobile-games studio.

YoYoGames aren't only experts in making game-making tools (I mean Game Maker), but they also create cool games! Go YoYo!

Strange how the desktop site shows that it has 100,000-500,000 installs and yet the mobile app version shows only 10,000+ installs.

Are you sure you havn't mis-read it? On my Android it simply shows it as "100,000+ downloads".

btw, who at YYG creates the graphics for their mobile games? They're very high quality. Whoever draws them is certainly professional.

Very well done! I wasn't expecting Yoyo to grow to this level this fast, but now that you have I'm impressed!

This (randomly Googled, salt grain) site lists Geoff Gunning as credited in Lemmings.

It seems YYG is trying to get the old team back together!

(By the way, if anyone is interested, both Alan and Geoff have LinkedIn profiles)

When I posted this topic 19 hours ago, the game was rated 463 times, it has now been rated 622 times; 159 rates in that time, and only a small amount of downloaders actually rate, I'd guess that there have been alot of people playing this game today :yes:
