Congrats, and the game looks really cool!

I'm curious: how did you market your game? What made you go in the top charts?

Finland is a rather small market, so friends & family were probably a big influence to get it off the ground. (Seems that it only takes some hundreds of downloads to reach the top spot.)

I also started threads with promo code giveaways in TouchArcade and Reddit, and emailed reviewers.

With those as a base, it got some initial visibility and then bloggers/reviewers started asking for promo copies.
