Digital Chocolate has announced that three of its consecutive game releases - Crazy Penguin Catapult, Tower Bloxx, and Brick Breaker Revolution - have seemingly attracted a new category of gamers whose enthusiasm has propelled the developer's titles to the number one overall app download rank on the App Store since January.

According to the official announcement, Digital Chocolate is setting a record performance through a total of five games, establishing an original kind of “impulse” game that is reaching a vast new audience on platforms like the iPhone. Including the aforementioned three most successful titles, the company outlines that its five games, available in both free and premium versions, have been downloaded more than 8,000,000 times. The games had been available in the App Store for less than 100 days when the landmark was reached, the company claims.

Therefore, Digital Chocolate feels it is high time it rewarded the iPhone gaming community by offering all its premium games at a discount through the current month. All Digital Chocolate games are now on sale for $2.99!

“Based on the app downloads chart they just showed this week, we have represented two percent of all downloads of all kinds since we made our debut,” said Trip Hawkins, CEO of Digital Chocolate. “The unprecedented and record-setting aspects of our performance suggest that something big is going on.”

“Apple is showing many industries how the world can take computers, content, community, and retailing to a new level,” explained Hawkins. “If I brought a man from Mars down to Earth and showed him a Wal-Mart, the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and the on-device iPhone App Store experience, which do you think he would find the most amazing?” Hawkins concluded.
