Pocket God hits 4.5 million downloads on iOS as IAPs top 1 million
Over two and a half years since it first hit the App Store, and Bolt Creative's Pocket God is still selling.

The latest numbers published by the studio peg total iOS downloads at 4.5 million - 1.5 million up on the 3 million milestone it passed last August.

What's more, the studio claims players are also engaging with the game, totting up more than 1 million in-app purchases to date.

"From its humble beginning, Pocket God has turned into a dream come true for us, and its success and notoriety are largely attributed to the popularity of iOS and the App Store," said CEO Dave Castelnuovo.

"Developing for iOS remains our primary focus and, without a doubt, continues to provide us with a platform for success."
Pocket God's iPad chapter, Journey to Uranus, is also performing strongly the company claims, with revenues having passed $200,000 in its first two months on sale.

As a result of its success, the game also just hit iPhone and iPod touch.

"Bringing Pocket God: Journey to Uranus to iPhone and iPod touch has been something we've wanted to do for a while," added Castelnuovo.

"We've taken extra care to ensure that it runs and plays just as smoothly on the small screen as it does for iPad, and plan on continuing our tradition of offering unparalleled support for the new title by consistently providing the quality updates our franchise is known for."
