Luv the game. It’s probably user dumbness but in normal mode, where I used to get high scores, now all I get is “no more moves”. Did u make us more challenging that I’m not obviously seeing? Still a great game. And Congrats dad!!!!!

Thanks for all the stats. Love this game. I can honestly say that its the only game I play every day on my phone. Free is SO key and the game is so well polished now. I would love to one day see another huge update but I totally understand about prioritizing life’s events. Thank you for such a great game! I will continue to spread the word about this game…. word of mouth is a great advertisement. Thanks again.

The phone state permission is required for the Scoreloop integration. It doesn’t have anything to do with your calls, only the device id is accessed, which is needed as the Scoreloop profile is unique per device.

I was going to install the latest update, and it claimed that I was giving the app permission to see my phone calls and the identity of who is calling me. Why do you need that?

I think the success is largely due to the clean graphics and polished UI. After my girlfriend got hooked on bejeweled, I searched the market and tried just about every jewel-swapping game out there. Yours has the best interaction and game play — the sprites aren’t too small to selected with your finger, and the piece selection and swap is smooth and responsive.

The two comments from my gf:
– Lack of “special” gems (multipliers, “bombs”, same-color removals, etc) — are there any plans for this?
– Having to wait for a full chain to complete prior to being able to swap the next pair.

Regardless, good stuff. Thanks.

Hi Kiryl (sorry about the late reply, forgot this comment )
I don’t know about the number of daily downloads, but the user base has indeed been growing significantly since the launch. Right now it is 2.33 million total, 1.78 million active.

I’ve not tried anything besides AdSense, but I’ve been very happy with them.

Hi Mika,
Thanks for sharing the statistics. They are very helpful. If it’s not a secret, how many downloads per day do you have now, in March? Has the speed of downloads increased significantly since November or is it quite stable?

Also, have you tried other ad networks besides AdSense? Is AdSense the highest paying one? I’m asking because we are about to move to AdSense and will have to stick with them for at lease 3 months but no indications of their eCPM is available on the net.

I’m happy to share my statistics with you as well if you want.
