SA developed Snailboy has made it onto the iTunes charts since the side-scrolling platformer made its debut on the international and local store over three weeks ago.
Developed by Thoopid, Snailboy was featured as one of the “best new games” on the US iTunes store, and has since reached the “Top Paid iPhone Games” list on the SA store.
It has also received some great reviews from gamers, who seem to love the gameplay, visuals, and soundtrack.
Since the launch of the games section in the SA iTunes store, games such as Angry Birds, Worms 3, and Sonic the Hedgehog have made it to the top-paid games section.
In August, MyGaming caught up with the Cape Town-based Thoopid, to discuss the popularity and dynamics of mobile gaming, along with the elements of physics-based platforming, which helped conceptualise the idea for Snailboy.

I bought this game to support local developers only to have my iPad stolen a day later. The little bit I played was awesome though!
