Social gaming company CrowdStar’s iOS game Top Girl has achieved landmark success by surpassing one million downloads in just 10 days.
You may wonder what's so special about this game. Top Girl is a female-focused “role-playing” game, which allows players to slip into the shoes of young teenager longing to climb up the fashion social ladder. Your job is to dress up the girl as you deem fit, collect money by doing modeling jobs, buying new outfits, and going to clubs to flirt with equally beautiful young guys. It’s also a social game but charges users for virtual goods.
The game has gained immense popularity within just 10 days of its launch with it clocking over 1 million downloads. The company says it has become one of the three top grossing games in the App Store.
Blair Hamilton, the company’s head of mobile, said the app monetizes solely through the sale of a premium virtual currency, which can be used to buy additional clothing or drinks. Interestingly, instead of relying on Facebook, CrowdStar uses the mobile social network of gaming network of OpenFeint.
Top Girl is Burlingame, Calif.-based CrowdStar’s first game for mobile devices. CrowdStar develops social games on FaceBook including Happy Aquarium.
