Today is clearly the day for announcing company-wide download in the hundreds of millions.
Not to be outdone by Chillingo, social mobile developer Storm8 has revealed total downloads across both iPhone and Android have now surpassed 200 million.
It's a level of success it claims is "unparalleled in mobile gaming", with the company also reporting that it's enjoyed its first 'million dollar day' as a result of a promo push.

"The entire team is very excited about achieving 200 million downloads and our first million dollar day," said CEO and co-founder Perry Tam.
"Our players love our games - we are serving more than four million daily active users. Mobile is the next frontier of social games.
"People want to play games with friends anywhere and anytime. Storm8 is committed to bringing the best social gaming experience to the billions of mobile users across the world."
Storm8, which also owns TeamLava, claims said promo splash resulted in 10 games hitting the top 25 grossing apps on the App Store, with iMobsters surging to the top spot.
Over on Android Market, the developer also boasted a total of seven games within the top 10 grossing apps.
