Introducing Rooftop Bandits

More Installs By Changing My Screenshots
I mentioned recently that we were able to get 20% more downloads by simply removing the preview video from Dungeons of Doom’s App Store page. But what about the game’s screenshots? Is there anything we can do to them that might bag us a few more installs? Well let’s look at a few things we tried.

Dungeons of Doom Out Now
Great news! Dungeons of Doom is now available on the Apple App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
