Stolen from Ben's lab - Tazer pic (EP2 Update)

Hey everyone, I want to share another photo that I snagged from Ben the other day.

Looks like it’s a pic of the tazer going through some experimental testing.

Just by looking at the pic, I think I can almost smell the ozone in the air caused by the electrical arcing.

Mmmm, I love the smell of ozone in the morning; it smells like… epic fun. Mwahahahaha.

In-depth interview with Ben at The Career Gamer!

The Career Gamer has posted an in-depth interview with Ben about how we brought Lumpy to Earth in his own game show. If you want the inside scoop on how QuitIt! was made, you definitely want to check this article out. Lumpy sends out a big thanks out to Tito A. Belgrave from The Career Gamer for featuring us!

Poke on over to the Career Gamer for the deets!

It’s a long way to the top, if you wanna rock ‘n roll…

As I sneak a look on iTunes, our buddy Lumpy has hopped his way up the charts into the Top 20 in the Entertainment category. It’s been an exciting ride so far since we hit the WHAT’S HOT section of the App Store. It’s also a bit scary- how long can we maintain this momentum?

We’ve managed to pass the fart apps and the disturbing number of girly pic apps that keep popping up in the Entertainment category (you should see the App Store in Japan, it’s even scarier…). We hope our climb up the charts so far means that people are looking for something different and unique that’s actually made with care and love.

For us, we hope this is just the beginning, and we’d like to thank everyone who has helped Lumpy and us get to where we are today.

We’re not cooling our heels either. We’ve been reading all your feedback from the forums and the reviews on the App Store, and we will be incorporating your suggestions in future versions, including new guest stars, mini-games, and online stats. We also hope that you’re enjoying the posts here on the blog, as we want to entertain you with stuff outside the app.

We are already hard at work on our next update, and we’ll be sharing our production progress in the coming weeks. The tazer is just one of the items in the works.

Speaking of which, I think Ben’s working a bit too hard recently. I had to return the favor and taze him earlier today so that the B-man would get some sleep…

The Italian Job – Musings by Yas

Call me a geek, but the speed at which information spreads around the world via the interwebs fascinates me. In the last couple of days, I’ve been surfing the net to find out which countries around the world have heard about QI!

So, when Ben gave me the heads up yesterday that we hit number 89 in the top 100 of the Italian App Store’s Entertainment (Intrattenimento) category, I was puzzled. Sure enough, nestled amongst the girly pic apps and fart apps, was the Lumpster (since then, we've gone down to 100 as shown in the picture). Realistically, this doesn’t really translate into big sales numbers given the size of the Italian market, but how did we get there considering we did zero PR in Italy?

We had lots of silly conspiracy theories in the office about how this happened (…something along the lines of QI! being an app that people couldn’t refuse...), but later during the afternoon, we got some intel from a QI! fan that sort of cleared up the mystery. So, as it turns out, an Italian site called iPhoneItalia wrote a review of our app. The review itself was kinda neutral, but heck, we really appreciate any press that we can get!

Now back to more surfing! Or maybe not…I think I see Ben coming over to my desk with a tazeruiopasdg;la[pgj’/.lasdjs;
