    Can you achieve a top app spot with a limited budget?

    It is not at all easy. We are trying to achieve 100,000 downloads in 24 hours for Dogfight, our main game done in Unity. We decided to post how we are doing it. I hope you find it useful.

    Any input on what techniques you use for your marketing campaigns, more than welcome :)

    Thanks for article, contains some interesting insight. I am guessing it will have more weight after it becomes retrospective though (after 24 hours), once there is evidence about effectiveness of those methods.

    Great article but terrifying at the same time.

    If you struggled with a great game like yours to get a high rank I'm going to find it really difficult.

    Many thanks for posting.

    Great article. A much needed reality check that making games to get rich is a waste of time.
