iPhone's Parachute Panic clocks up 4 million downloads
That's a lot of falling down
The iPhone's novel and highly addictive touchscreen-controlled game Parachute Panic - which was exclusively revealed here on Pocket Gamer - has given developer FDG an early Christmas present today after it passed the 4 million downloads mark.
Parachute Panic got off to a good start with over 100,000 downloads in its first week and now, combined with its Lite version, has made its way onto 4 million iPhones and iPod touches.
It also featured a recent cameo from Doodler - the bouncing alien from equally popular iPhone game Doodle Jump - who drops a hefty bonus onto your ships on certain levels.
"I have personally been a fan of Parachute Panic since it first came out and love the cameo," says Lima Sky's Igor Pusenjak. "The way I see it, when you miss a platform in Doodle Jump, you end up falling into someone else's in-progress game of Parachute Panic. Very cool!"
Presumably, the Lite version and additions like the Doodle Jump cameo have helped Parachute Panic's popularity immensely, as the game only clocked up its first million downloads in August.
Thomas Kern at FDG Entertainment adds: “We love Doodle Jump and it was great fun to integrate the Doodler cameo into our game. Customer response to the update was thoroughly positive, which shows once more that it's hard not to love the unique character design from Lima Sky´s hit game."
If you're one of the few iPhoners who hasn't picked up Parachute Panic yet, hit the App Store button to take the leap.
