Do guns and money go together? For Craneballs…absolutely!
For this podcast, we have Daniel Maslovsky, Craneballs Studios’Community and Marketing Manager to share with us his arsenal of experience in the mobile app business specifically in their flagship game, Overkill, which had garnered about 18M for their two versions.
Below are the items which Daniel had discussed with me today:
- Where the idea for Overkill 1 originated, what made them decide to create Overkill 2 and what got these apps to the top,
- Monetization from widening their gun arsenal and their challenges in price of installs,
- Their painful experience with reskinning and their key learnings about competition,
- All about cross promotions, press contacts and PR agencies, giving exclusives and Craneballs’ launch strategies,

We had a hearty talk about how this industry keeps changing and Daniel opened up how they are working on multiple projects to keep their business from going sideways but ensuring that they still focus on quality.
