I just checked our market stats this morning and after adding up all of the free and paid downloads for all of our games combined, we're just over one million!
Thanks to everyone who has downloaded and played or purchased our games. We couldn't have done it without you!
We're still hard at work on new titles so stay tuned!
We're trying very hard to make sure that every game we publish is bug-free and working optimally on every Android device. Unfortunately, there are many different devices out now and each one is quite expensive without a 2 year contract. We test on what we can but we're currently in need of the following devices:
High Priority:
Sony XPERIA X10
Motorola Milestone
Samsung Galaxy
Motorola Cliq
T-Mobile Pulse
Low Priority (but still useful):
HTC Droid Eris (Verizon)
HTC Hero (Sprint Hero)
HTC Magic (T-Mobile MyTouch)
We're looking for device donors - special people who care about the quality of their mobile games on a variety of devices.
Device donors get:
A Battery Powered Games T-Shirt in their preferred size
A free copy of every existing and new game under Battery Powered Games distribution for 2 years
Exclusive access to new and unreleased games and development snapshots
A big thank-you message posted from us on all of our communication channels.
Please use the contact form to discuss a donation with us.
