It's not that I'm complaining as part of the team, but I'm just wondering.. why? On June 16th the free version sales, which surprise surprise were slowly headed downwards, started to double in the US. After reaching another plateau where they were stuck for over week the sales exploded. In the last couple of days WL3D has become the #1 free game on the store!

I was earlier contacted by Apple to clarify that I owned the rights to the music of the free version. They said it "could be used for marketing", but never told if or where. I haven't found anything online, but I'm now seeing the results?

It just strikes me as strange that Apple would use WL3D for marketing, since it still hasn't been featured once (paid or free) on the App Store. And if not on the store, then where?

So, if anyone has seen it promoted by Apple or any other company somewhere, please share where. Any photos or such would be cool and worth a promo code. ;)

Oh, check out the sale too, the full version is still sold at $1.99 for the rest of the day and at $2.99 tomorrow.

Look in the Apps entertainment section. The number one free App is Mirror Free (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=320578069&mt=8). It was a paid app but now it's free. Look at the ratings?

33743 = 1 star ratings

How can this App (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=320578069&mt=8) be rated #1 ?

The App Store rating system is broken and very very confusing.
I don't understand any of it. Yours and numerous others.

isn't the ranking based on number of downloads rather than reviews?

Yes, they are based on downloads.
