RedLynx's best year ever: 1.5 million games sold
Highly regarded Finnish developer RedLynx has announced 2009 its most successful year ever.

The company published four games: Monster Truck Nitro and DrawRace on iPhone, and Trials HD for Xbox LIVE Arcade and Monster Trucks Nitro on PC.

Combined sales were 1.5 million copies.

As well as paid downloads, RedLynx's free games were played 100 million times across 5,000 websites.

"In 2008 we published one game, Trials 2 SE for PC," said Tero Virtala, RedLynx's CEO.

"It was well received and sold more than 150.000 copies. After that release, we started to focus more heavily on developing and publishing our multi-platform games on digital channels, significantly increasing sales. Obviously, that strategy has worked well."

RedLynx says it plans to release 8 to 10 games in 2010.
