Yes,
it is true as we see the flappy birds score a fortune in the app
stores. The game was simplistic with basic graphic that dated back to
the mario days and all the user had to do is to tap to keep the bird
flying while passing through the obstacles. The game got some bad
reviews from the tech circles that talked mostly about the poor
graphics and extremely difficult and frustrating gameplay. But it is
ultimately the charts that matters the most. Mobile app developers
ultimately create the apps for people and if it appears on the top
ten spot, then there is nothing more a mobile app developer can ask
for.
From
the flappy bird story you can easily predict that everyone can become
a successful developer and deliver a hit in the app store. There are
a few factors that can make your app the next success story on app
stores and earn your huge revenues if you could do it right. One of
the major aspect for mobile app developers should be upon the
simplicity of the game. Be it angry birds or flappy birds, they did
not asked for the least efforts from the games. You can play them
anytime and without any mental stress. Mobile app developers must
understand that simplicity is one of the major aspects with casual
games and simpler the game play, more downloads and installs it is
likely to get.
If
you want to earn money from your app/game, then have a clear app
monetization pathway into mind. Look into the various aspects as to
how your app is being used by your userbase. For example in flappy
birds, the gameplay never goes out of the loop while the users hit
the replay button at least 3-4 times in a minute. These intermediate
slots between sessions proved the ultimate goldmine for the
developer, earning him more than $50k a day from ads that flashed
between gameplay sessions.
Don’t
under estimate android. Flappy bird went viral due to android. Hence,
create a free version for android so that your app/game has wider
reach amongst your target audience. Making an android device does not
open up revenue channels directly but they will let you understand
about the various other segments of users. You could target these
cluster of users next time when you make an app or update your
existing application.
