Tag: Whale Trail

Whale Trail is an iOS and Android game about a flying whale whose eyes take up one-third of her body. She must travel the skies in search of a good optometrist, and is heartbroken to discover that specialists generally don't open up practices in the sky. In all seriousness, Whale Trail's relaxed gameplay and sunny, rainbow-colored environments have made it a hit on the App Store, and like Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja before it, Whale Trail is looking to expand its brand beyond the mobile market. Its choice of medium shouldn't come as a surprise: children's books.

Whale Trail was, in a word, wonderful. Unfortunately the game didn't sell anywhere near as well as it should have. As of right now, iOS gamers have paid for only 140,000 downloads of the game. That said, UK-based developer ustwo is casting the dice one last time in an attempt to prove that its premium game model can work.
