We wanted to take favorite titles like Clash of The Clans and Puzzle Dragons to a new, futuristic level that is adventurous and strategic, and to connect people around the globe through play.
Beijing, China (PRWEB) September 06, 2013
Welcome to Pocket Fort, a futuristic, strategic war game packed with fort development, troops training and multiple modes of battle, all packed into a mobile game that invites players to build, attack and conquer kingdoms—all from the palm of their hands.
Pocket Fort invites players to build an indestructible fortress through the collection of gold and energy. Players guard their resources with barbettes, towers, missiles, bombs and obstacles.
The best offense is a good defense. As players develop their individual forts, more powerful military units will be unlocked. Players can then form an army with gunners, snipers, bomb sweepers and other troops, and boost their advanced military capabilities. Battle against players worldwide and be awarded with victory battle medals.
A friend in need is a friend indeed Players are invited to join an alliance or create their own alliance, ask fellow player for help, and can send reinforcement troops when their friends are in trouble.

App-Promo was recently interviewed by @Techvibes on the Backlash Against In-app Sales and how it is affecting the mobile app industry. You can find the complete interview below:
The results from this year’s Annual App Developer Survey showed the tenacity and long term success of app developers.
81% of app developers said that they would not abandon their app despite the same amount not making enough money to support a standalone business. Like last year, app developers are having a hard time breaking even with their app, but we saw that those developers that stick it out and market their app (3 years+) are seeing some great success, some earning over $500,000+.
The tenacity and long term success reminded us of the story the Little Engine that Could which inspired this year’s Infographic found below.
For a full review of results from our 2013 App Developer Survey, download our Free white paper “Slow and Steady Wins the Race”.
Last year we found that nearly 60% of app developers are not breaking even with the money they are generating with their apps. This news was illustrated in our “Wake Up Call” infographic which was picked up by the likes of Mashable, Into Mobile, Read Write, Venture Beat and more and our white paper summarizing all of the results has been downloaded over 2,100 times since its release.
This year, we hope to uncover some new powerful stats about the app publisher and developer community as well as to follow-up with app owners to see if more are seeing success with their apps.
We will be creating an infographic and white paper to publish these results which will be made available at the end of May of this year. If you aren’t already signed up for our newsletter to receive these results, you can do so by providing your information on the last page of the survey.
The survey runs from April 15 through to May 5, 2013. Please share it with your colleagues! Results will be made public the end of May 2013. As a thank you for completing the survey we are giving away the chance to win $1,500 in App Store Optimization services by a member of our team.
Thank you for all your support!
