Parachute Panic

Parachute Panic (iPhone/iPod touch) from FDG Entertainment was an instant hit game when it arrived on the App Store back in May 2009. It sold more than 100.000 copies within its first launch weeks and generated more than 4 million downloads until today (lite and paid copies combined).

The latest V1.4 Update of Parachute Panic adds a “Doodler” cameo appearance, the famous character from Lima Sky´s #1 blockbuster game “Doodle Jump”: In Level 3, 6 and 10 of Parachute Panic, the Doodler falls into the screen and players can generate lots of bonus points by rapidly tapping onto the cameo character.

"I have personally been a fan of Parachute Panic since it first came out and love the cameo." said Igor Pusenjak, president and founder of Lima Sky. "The way I see it, when you miss a platform in Doodle Jump, you end up falling into someone else's in-progress game of Parachute Panic. Very cool!"

Thomas Kern, Executive Producer of FDG Entertainment adds: “We love Doodle Jump and it was great fun to integrate the Doodler cameo into our game. Customer response to the update was thoroughly positive which shows once more that it´s hard not to love the unique character design from Lima Sky´s Hit Game.”

FDG Entertainment is happy to report that the PP 1.4 update combined with a tremendously effective Doodle Jump in-app promotion; catapulted Parachute Panic back into the Top100 in several countries.
