iPhone games chart - best games made with Unity

Let's track the best iPhone games that have been made with Unity.

The goal is to have the up do date chart. I am going to update it as soon as someone notifies me (just post a comment here) of an updated information.



I use app annie and top app charts/ for tracking.

Unity Android game list

 

Realmaze3D was featured by Apple in both Staff Picks and New and Noteworthy, and made it to #32 in Games and was in the top 10 in Adventure.

--Eric

 

Well, but topappcharts does not declare any significant achievements. Any ideas why?

 

Maybe they didn't start up until after my game had been out for a while? This was in May 2009.





--Eric

 

Weve just released Zombigotchi and its 1st in the New Noteworthy list for Entertainment (In UK iTunes that is, not sure about anywhere else)

 

ok, let's make a new and noteworthy section until it's too big.

but let the chart cap at top 30.

deal? ;-)

 

New and Noteworthy:
Deep, Captain Ludwig, Robin Hood : Archer of the Woods

Just an idea, but could you make a page for this on the website somewhere too, instead of only this thread? Might drive some sales for some people.

 

our game "EGGS"

made #21 in "action" in the US store (jun 10 2010)
and #16 in "arcade" in the US store (jun 7 2010)

we where "new and noteworthy" just about everywhere.

 

Our games so far:

"Slippy Feet" - March 2009 - pretty early Unity iPhone game, very simple didn't do much in the charts though

"Roary The Racing Car - Rollin' Road" - got to number 1 in Kids charts in Croatia, 2 in Nicaragua and Sweden , number 3 in Norway plus number 5 in Finland and number 8 in UK! Still selling ok too.

and a new game not out just yet... I'll come back and announce this one very soon I hope!

 

Let's create a decent chart here first and then move it on the stage

I am adding only games that made it to global top 30 or archived other important awards.
I hope you agree that these limits are fare

I guess when the new and noteworthy section becomes too huge, we'll flush it and either deprecate or start over with the new apple highlighted ones

 

Hi!
I Don´t think there is such a thing as "global top" anything.
From my limited experience the metrics that are interesting, at least moneywise, is how well you fare in the US. Roughly 50% of our sales are from the US market.

Pleas correct me if I am wrong.

btw
we have been top 5 in games in Mali for quite some time. I think we may have 3 sales total there

 

The Package was App Of The Week in June 2010 in the US App Store

 

Zombieville USA should be in games top 3 rather than 30. (That app-tracking site only started in August 2009, according to their About page, so it doesn't list Zombieville at its most popular. I think it got to #1 actually.)

--Eric

 

Yes, I believe Zombieville and Battle Bears were both number one at one point.

 

Zombieville hit #1 in games yea, #2 overall.

 

Stick Skater hit #2 overall

Stick Skater Lite hit #1 overall

 

Snakes and ladders HD hit new and noteworthy, as well as becoming the number one dice game in the US.

 

Pretty much correct but only because the european charts are scattered into over a dozen ones basically with app trackers not giving a damned about.
Otherwise the USA wouldn't make it, as europe has twice as many inhabitants and since the crashdown of the US economy a S***load more cash to waste "on goodies" like iOS games

 

AirAttack HD - hit #1 overall

AirAttack - hit #4 overall

 

#1 in AppStore: Skee-Ball
#1 in AppStore: Skee-Ball HD
#1 in AppStore: Zombieville USA
#1 in AppStore: Stick Skater Free
#1 in AppStore: AirAttack HD

I absolutely like the trend!

I am still figuring out the best way of implementing such chart. So please, until we have a proper solution, lets make this list alive and up to date.

Thanks

 

Wozik, add links to the actual app imo.

 

i think you need 3 charts... paid / free / iPad..

in the case of stick skater, while its great we got to #1 overall in free, we are far more proud of the fact that our paid app got to #2 overall. Meanwhile a HD / iPad app would have sold a small fraction of the iPhone games due to the relatively small market by comparison and cannot really be compared to a #1 app on iPhone like Skee Ball.

then again, im not quite sure what the point of this list is really. Personally I would put a game like Ravensword much higher up the 'best games' list than ours as it was by far and above a better showcase of Unity. Also comparing a game thats 99c with a game that is 2.99 is also not fair..

thats just my 99c worth...

updated. thanks for your input

yome, your games seem to have a great success. Are you planning to publish them to android?

 

Wozik: we're working on it. Most have already been ported, and we're working to figure out the pricing/marketing strategy and how to work around the 25 MB limit for some of the games. Thanks for the update!

 

great news!
feel free to email me to oleg@unity3d.com if you'd like to get to Unity Android beta as we're planning to bake a new build soon.

 

Giant Moto

October 26, 2010 featured under Hot New Games / Racing Games

October 22, 2010 Free 7 day sale, downloaded 1 million times in 7 days, made it to #3 Top Free Apps (out of all apps)

July 2, 2010 Featured in “Best Racing Games”

April 22, 2010 Featured in New Noteworthy Hot New Games (made it to #5 in the Racing games category)

 

ratrodstudio, greetingz! And welcome to Android. Hope to be able test it soon ;-)

meanstreak, thanks for the update. One more game at the very top!

 

Our interactive book Food Fight! managed to make #1 in iPad books, and #4 in iPhone books a week or two back. It's dropped right off now, hopefully that is because we've done zero marketing while the much needed feature update was worked on (now in the queue for review).

We released an Android version earlier tonight, FWIW.

schplurg, good results!

Our Game "The Infinity Project" was featured on "What We're Playing Now" back in January 2010!

We just made it free for a day and we have raised up to

# 8 All Apps
# 4 All Games
# 2 Action Games
# 1 Adventure Games

Not bad for one day, also the game is 1 year old this month...

Is it worth something?

"Tower ant" reached #1 in new and noteworthy for strategy games

Save Toshi and Save Toshi DX both got pretty high in the charts last week as they were featured New Noteworthy on the front page of the store (I think they are now "What's Hot" on the front page.)

Battleheart has had a fantastic weekend thanks to being featured as "Game of the Week" and a timely sale. In the US it has reached #1 iPad App, #3 iPhone App, and naturally #1 in both of its categories (RPG/Strategy) as well.

Qbism HD has had up and down spurts. TopAppCharts has it #5 Top Games in iPad and #32 in iPhone.
We just released it on Android today and it's been available on the Mac AppStore for a few weeks. Apple seems to like it, having been featured on both iOS and Mac AppStore. Currently in "What We're Playing".

Hoping our next game does even better!
