Doodling Makes A Mint
June 28, 2010
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but two brothers have done even better and proved that a doodle can be worth millions.
Brothers Igor and Marko Pusenjak are the men behind Doodle Jump, a $.99 app that dominated the #1 spot on the App Store chart for months and still remains near the top to this day. With over 3.5 million downloads in the past year, and only two people in their company, the brothers are both self-made millionaires.
The secret to their success? There isn't just one. Doodle Jump is very much a casual game that people of all ages can enjoy. A complete game can be played in under a minute, meaning players can enjoy it throughout the day around their schedule. Other reasons for their success include frequent updates and getting a "featured" spot on the App Store.
