The 66% off sale returned Osmos for iPhone to the top 10 list. And of course, we&#8217;d like to keep it there! :)<\/p>\n<p>    Pricing on the App Store is a regularly debated topic. Many people say to us &#8220;If you can charge 1\/3 the price and sell ten times the copies, why wouldn&#8217;t you?&#8221; And our answer is typically &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t usually work like that.&#8221; True, the 99 cent apps dominate the top lists, and those apps are doing great &#8212; but for apps that aren&#8217;t on the charts, the 99 cent pricing model is unsustainable. So we said to ourselves: if keeping the price at 99 cents can keep Osmos on the charts, it sure would be nice to do it! But how can we know in advance&#8230;?<\/p>\n<p>    The answer: we don&#8217;t have to. Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Osmos will remain at 66% off (99 cents in North America) as long as it remains in the top 25 Apps. For simplicity, we&#8217;ll use the US store as our barometer, as it&#8217;s by far the largest.<\/li>\n<li> In parallel, we&#8217;re reducing the price of Osmos for iPad by 60% ($1.99 in North America) for the week starting Thursday October 7th, in the hopes that it too will return to the top 25 list. If it does, we&#8217;ll continue that sale indefinitely too. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>    We&#8217;d be happy to keep these sales going forever of course, as we&#8217;re really proud of Osmos, and are delighted to put the game into as many hands as possible. Fingers crossed! :)<\/p>\n<p>    Thanks,<br \/>\n    The Hemi Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you Osmos fans.
