Suzi Perry's biker game is iPhone's most popular
Biker Blast-Off blasts competition and scores almost 1.5 million downloads in a month
AN iPHONE motorcycle game featuring TV presenter Suzi Perry has obliterated its opponent in a competiton, scoring almost 1.5 million downloads.
'Biker Blast-Off' has landed almost 1.5 million downloads since its launch on September 1st. Mediatonic, the company behind the idea, aimed to produce a free-to-download iPhone game, as part of a presenter challenge between Suzi and co-host Jason Bradbury. Perry's download figures obliterated her rivals; Bradbury's 'Social Beacon' managed an embarrasing 4074 hits.
"This challenge was a fantastic experience for the team and we're absolutely overjoyed that Biker Blast-Off has won," says Mediatonic's Paul Croft.
"What this actually proves is that not only will a free game always get more attention than a free utility, but also that production values are critical to any application's success. When it comes to small games, a keen sense of what makes a compelling, quick-fire play experience is absolutely key."
