iPhone App ‘iLikeCereal!!’ Didn’t Sell Well, Devs Strike Back

Posted December 9, 2009 by Tim New in News.

The physics heavy iPhone/iPod Touch App iLikeCereal!! has had a tough launch, having only sold a meagre 26 units in the first three days- with around half of these belonging to the team, as well as members of friends and family who worked on the game.

Marroni stated his shock on the game’s lacklustre sales:

We know that cereal’s not the biggest thing outside North America, but it’s almost like people haven’t even heard of breakfast in some parts of the world

He later discussed the prospects he had, should the game have sold better:

I thought I might even buy me a PSP…maybe even one of them newfangled Go’s—who needs an UMD drive when you’ve got high rent App Store real estate!

Call this a cheap ploy for interest to be rallied for the game via a deviously worded press release…but it kind of worked. I’m really tempted to go buy the app now. Footage is available here, while you can purchase the app here
