Ape Entertainment and
Bolt Creative have announced that the digital comic book series based on POKET GOD, one of the best-selling iPhone apps of all-time, has surpassed over 500,000 downloads to-date. To celebrate, the series’ creators have partnered with Free App A Day (FAAD) to offer the first issue of the digital comic for free for a limited time.Issue #11 came out today for immediate download on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad via iVerse Media, a digital distribution partner of Ape Entertainment.
“What makes POCKET GOD such a breakout hit is its attention to original characters and stories that play off the sadistic, episodic-based app that allows users to control the lives of a group of energetic pygmy islanders,” said Brent E. Erwin, Ape Co-Publisher. “We’re extremely pleased to see how well fans of POCKET GOD and fans of comic books have taken to the series.”
“We have always had fun developing POCKET GOD and its many updates, but creating the personalities behind the pygmies and the stories behind them has been one of the most enjoyable aspects of our work,” said Dave Castelnuovo, founder and CEO of Bolt Creative. “The way the POCKET GOD community has embraced the comic series has been incredible to see and we look forward to continuing to create more quality POCKET GOD content.”
Created by Dave Castelnuovo and Allan Dye, founders of Bolt Creative, POCKET GOD has consistently maintained a spot in the “Top 25” games in the iTunes App Store for two and a half years running. With total sales of 7 million downloads since release, the success of POCKET GOD comes from a combination of endearing characters, unique art style and an incredibly fanatical community of followers.
