Hot Dogs and Dynamite: The Secret to Success for Plates!

Winston-Salem, NC    Aug 26, 2010 in Games

[prMac.com] Winston-Salem, North Carolina - Kyle Webster, founder of Big Mouse Media, had big plans for the company's new title, 'Plates!' but did not expect to find the game sitting on the homepage of the 'Games' section of the iTunes store after only two days of sales. As the game began to climb the charts and break into the top 200 overall Games list, followed by the top 50 Arcade list and the top 25 Family list, it was evident that a big push might help the game go even further. Kyle and his development partner, Denis Hennessy immediately set out to produce a major update to the original version of the game.

'Plates!' 1.2 will feature an entirely new and exciting gameplay mode, entitled 'Dynamite Dogs,' as well as new options for sound and music toggling, new OpenFeint functionality (new leaderboards and achievements), improved graphics, and improved scoring.

The team worked day and night at a frantic pace to ready the new version for release, knowing how crucial timing can be in the fickle and unpredictable world of App Store rankings. They are confident that the traction 'Plates!' has sustained throughout its first week of sales will be enough to place the game in prime position for another big leap when the update goes live September 9th.

'Plates!' was the TUAW App of the Day, a recipient of a four-star review from Macworld UK, and a perfect 5-star game on the AppConsumer website. Player reviews are averaging 4.5 stars, as well.

Pricing and Availability:
Plates! 1.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
