While all game developers love Apple's App Store, in 2010, they also want to spread their love around some other app stores too.
So here some good new in that Swedish developer Polarbit has been getting some good attention over on Nokia's Ovi Store.
Within two weeks of releasing five games onto it - Raging Thunder, Armageddon Squadron, WaveBlazer, Iron Sight and ToonWarz - it's had over one million downloads.
It's important to point out however that for some of that period the games were free.
"We take great pride in being early adopters, as well as in our ability to deliver a consistent, high quality gaming experience across all platforms. We were greatly aided in this ambition by our Fuse middleware platform which has allowed us to utilise the full potential of the Nokia Game API plug-in," explains Polarbit's founder and CTO Anders Nilsson.
"Too many developers focus their efforts entirely on the iPhone and release sub-par, Java-like versions on new platforms and markets which are capable of so much more, whereas we are dedicated to ensure that Nokia Ovi gamers receive the same rich, high-end gaming experience as iPhone gamers."
You can find out more about what Polarbit's up to via web, Twitter and YouTube.
