Not known for its presence on smartphones, French publisher Atari (once called Infogrames) is currently sitting pretty on iOS.
Its freemium iPhone and iPad game Breakout: Boost has racked up over a million downloads in the two weeks since its release.
Based on the classic bat, ball and bricks game, it adds different ball and brick types, with the first five levels being free and over 200 levels unlocked via in-app purchases.
It supports Game Center and OpenFeint in terms social features, while additional levels are scheduled to launch via an update in January.
Old school
"We continue to see a strong positive consumer response to the classic and new versions of our world renowned games library - first with Atari's Greatest Hits then in November with Asteroids: Gunner and now with Breakout: Boost." said Jim Wilson, Atari's CEO.
"These launches lead our mobile strategy to unleash the power of the Atari brand by delivering high quality experiences to our legions of fans and new gamers alike."
