SGN Launched the Jet / Dogfighting game to the app Store in early june. They’ve sold a $1 million in 6 weeks.

Read that this morning- it posted to TechCrunch last week. The initial responses to the game were positive during the pre-release test drives of Dog Fight by Techcrunch and continues to enjoy rave reviews. Despite the $60,000 in daily sales this game is not the top earner in the appstore!

When I first played Bedeviled I had no idea what I was doing…because “it fails to follow directions and it loses at the game”.  Luckily I do watch videos and I picked up the video above.  This explained why the ball that was moving across the screen appeared to be teleporting.  Big bright light over geek’s head- Oh….  The goal of the game is to slide the squares around so that the ball is NOT teleporting but moving from block to block in the normal fashion in the grid.  With that realization went 2 days of my weekend.  I then handed it off to my wife.  I guess watching my wife play a game while she gives me the Heisman every time I lean forward thinking I’m reaching for the iPod Touch kinda counts as quality time. Kinda…  Stop by the AppStore to check it out.  Stop by the Bedeviled homesite
