We're number one!



Parallel Kingdom is ranked the number one app on 101BestAndroidApps.com! It is like a popularity contest in high school, and we won! Who said a bunch of geeks couldn't be prom kings and queens?

We like getting good news like this, but did we celebrate? Not much because we have a lot of work to do (there are some interesting things coming out soon). But this did bring up an interesting question: what other functions can we add to make PK even better?

If you go on the website, you can see other top rated apps, maybe we could incorporate some of their ideas into the game? The number two app, Locale, looks pretty cool, but it does location-based stuff though which we already have covered.

The third is Google Sky Map and I'm not going to lie, it looks really fun. We do have Google maps in the game, so we are partially covered there, but we'll have to see about the stars.

The fourth is called Buka and I'm just confused by it. For some reason it reminds me of Giga Pets, remember those?

I could keep going through the list, but I think you get the idea. The only genre we don't really touch is the soundbox, but I don't think the world needs another way to make fart noises. Most important takeaways (remember, always summarize in your conclusion): we have a fun game and we are really happy to get the recognition, thanks to everyone that voted!

Have a good weekend and stay warm.

  1. What you really need is a 'beautiful' way to exchange items, i.e. trade
    I still haven't seen anything better than Ultima Online had back in '97, and that interface would be even better with touch.
    Love the Parallel Kingdom concept, so many possibilities....
    Good Luck!
