Earnings and Statistics from my first Android Game – Bomb Rain

I had released my first Android Game. Bomb Rain is a simple reflex/arcade game, and now I would like to share downloads/earnings and other statistics from Bomb Rain (my first game). The game got ~200x downloads (total), now let’s look at some country/android versions statistics:

Android usage (% version, data from Google Play):

Users % country, data from Google Play:

The game has been downloaded 178x On Google Play (4-7x per day), on Amazon App Store it has been downloaded  31x (right now 2-3x per day), a record of the game downloads was 30x in one day (Google Play).

Total Downloads (Google Play/Amazon App Store):

What About earnings?

Unity Ads: $17.25 (Android Version)

Kongregate: $1.43 (1555 Plays, online version).

Chartboost: $0.27 (Android Version)

Total = $18.95

Earnings data:

*I was using Unity video rewards ads + Chartboost full-screen ads + Chartboost reward video (if Unity Ads fails to load an advertisement, don’t get any ads). No IAP.

I don’t like games, which spam players with banners, full-screen ads, and IAP. The thing I hate most is auto-playing video ads. That’s why Chartboost got such a low earn because, in whole camping, I showed 0x Chartboost ads. My favorite Ads are Video Ads played by users. I think they are an excellent form of advertisements. The game had generated $18.95, but to withdraw this cash, I would need some amount of money first (like a $100 for Unity Ads). So, the game had earned $0. – cost of its production. So, I’m at minus, well, it happens.

Would I make today again Bomb Rain? Yes, even if this game would get a deficient number of downloads again, earn nothing. When I was developing Bomb Rain, I had learned many things about coding simple games, Android Platform, and fixing Programming problems. I’m still learning how to program. I don’t count for any earnings right now. I got time. I had a lot of fun developing Bomb Rain.

From exciting things, in the top 10 devices, which had installed my game, 50% of them are Samsung, + many Huawei devices, and we got a one (in top 10) Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. Right now I’m focused on marketing Bomb Rain (I had learned a lot about marketing), I also plan to make the next game, it will be Idle Clicker (70% sure), but right now I focus on developing updates to Bomb Rain + marketing.
