Chuzzle Apple Store

1. Chuzzle App Store

The touch screen of the Apple devices is the ideal interface for the 'sliding' mechanic at the core of the game. This is a fantastic adaptation that delivers on PopCap's outstanding track record for bringing out some of the most acclaimed games available in the App Store. Young or old, male or female, everybody loves playing Chuzzle. Today, im just watch the raptisoft forums, and i have found the new category: Chuzzle 2. It is a real project? I can't wait Hoggy 2 coming out, and solomon's keep remake, hamsterball 2, sequel of robot wants kitty, and, yes!!! Do you plan to create the new ip in the furture?

• It's a real project... I'm actually fully contracted to do it with Popcap games at any time of my choosing. I mostly haven't done it because my user's demand for other games is so much higher. It was partly done years ago, but Popcap didn't want to do it because Chuzzle was still earning very well so they didn't 'see the need' for a sequel.
  
• Where is Chuzzle for apple store ? I love this game, but since the ios update, i have lost the game... Any plan to reput this game into app store ?
• And also, the game 4 letters 1 worls has been removed from app store, too.
• Popcap has the distribution rights to Chuzzle 1, and they removed it from the App store for their own reasons (I don't know why... it was earning well, but they pulled it anyway, after EA bought them).
  Four letter words was removed because it hadn't been updated-- and nobody wants it, it doesn't sell anything at all. :)
  
• They still sell it on some strange networks, but they don't offer it anywhere significant any more, and it doesn't really generate much income any more (but if it they ever take it off ALL their networks, the contract is broken and it falls back to me, so I'm guessing they keep it on just enough networks to satisfy that).
  
• Oh please let us know any news you might have on the return of Chuzzle. I haven't done a update on my iPhone since I started hearing it caused Chuzzle to disappear. I had to laugh when someone suggested a Go Fund Me account for you. That was a few years ago and now I understand how that person felt. Im not laughing any more. I am patiently waiting?

• John is currently working on Chuzzle 2 and it will be available for IOS.

Yesterday PopCap Games, a worldwide leader in casual games, announced an agreement with – you guessed it – us, to offer their first Android games in the U.S. market, exclusively in the Amazon Appstore for Android. Today we’re happy to make Chuzzle (regularly $2.99) available for free.

For the few people not familiar with Chuzzle, it’s a non-stop explosion of game action. Chuzzles burst when they get together in groups of three or more. The only way to “make them happy” is to pop them. Chuzzle is already a hit with iPhone users. Now, Chuzzle for Android features on-the-go gameplay action including four different modes, a “trophy room,” scrambles, and dynamic level generation.

What’s in it for you?
We’re continuing a steady drumbeat of exclusives and deals to wow customers, thus bringing new customers into the store and enticing existing customers to keep coming back. As we mentioned in last week’s post about Angry Birds Rio, the more customers we engage, the more opportunities there is to monetize your apps.

We’ve launched a marketing campaign for the exclusive Android launch of Chuzzle on the Amazon Appstore, and, spoiler alert, we’re preparing one for the impending exclusive Android launch of Plants vs. Zombies. Both Chuzzle and Plants vs. Zombies have a large and loyal iPhone fanbase, and Android users have been asking for these games.

Why do we do exclusives?
At Amazon, we start with the customer and work backwards. By bringing new apps and games to the Android marketplace first, we’re showing our customers we work hard to deliver some of hottest titles before they’re available anywhere else.

We think happy customers will be repeat customers, so for developers this means more chances to get apps, including exclusive apps, in front of the right audience. On an ongoing basis we’re also working to drive traffic to our store – and your apps.
When do we consider exclusives?
We are always looking for the next best thing, which is part of why we love our jobs – we get to play! We’re also monitoring what customers are saying about apps and the Amazon Appstore, including what else customers want. We look at exclusives on an opportunistic basis; some of our considerations are:

• Are the apps timely?
• Will our customers want them? Do they suit our core audience?
• Is the developer willing and able to help in the marketing of the exclusive?
• Is there a proven track record of success? (This is by no means a deal maker or breaker– we’re always trying to uncover new apps that we think will be runaway hits.)
