A free version of the popular game Hexile was submitted to Apple today.

Plain and simple, you won’t have to reach into your pocket to snag this one.  Even better, this is not just some teaser.   We packed 14 cool levels, two soundtracks, and half of the powerups in this game.  The original game graphics are all there, and best of all: NO ADS.

It’s a Celebration! Apple’s App Store hits 15,000 apps, 500 million downloads.

Apple celebrated today when they announced that the App Store hit the half billion download mark.  500,000,000 app downloads? Wow!  It was somewhat surprising to us how quickly the store grew to 15,000 applications as well, seeing that they just hit 10,000 available apps in early December of 2008.  This is a phenomenal growth curve, and we’re anxiously awaiting the next milestone.

Congrats, Apple!   This is such an amazing evolution in the mobility market and and we’re excited to be part of it.

If you haven’t checked out Apple’s celebratory home page today, visit before it’s too late.

TouchMyApps.com says “Grab It” about Hexile

Posted by fdg-press on January 11, 2009
Fusion News, Hexile / No Comments

In a recent review by TouchMyApps, Hexile was rated a “Grab It” game.  Here’s a snippet of what they had to say:

Overall, I must say Hexile is a very impressive and promising puzzle game. I often found myself fully immersed, with my finger rapidly tapping away and my brain attempting to keep up with the “High Low” count of  numbers. Mix this in with vital power ups needed to help solve levels and you have yourself a highly addictive game. Fusion Development Group has created a winner in Hexile and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh new puzzler.

Price Drop through January

Posted by fdg-press on January 09, 2009
Fusion News, Hexile / No Comments

We’ve dropped the price of Hexile to $0.99 through January. Hexile saw many more users come on board from the last short sale - so many in fact, that we’re convinced if we gave it a month, we can seriously expand the Hexile community.

Just about 100% of our reviewers valued Hexile at or above its original $1.99 price point. This has assured us that we have set a fair price for the long run. In the meantime, we want as many people as possible to discover our game.

If we get enough Hexile fanatics on board, we’ll pursue our ambitious goals of a second release, a MAJOR update to the game.

Hexile uses Flurry to capture basic, anonymous usage information.  Although we’re primarily using this for realtime crash reporting, we saw a spike in usage shortly after launching that we’re quite proud of:

Almost 1000 game launches in one day!
