Badland Wins App Stores Best of 2022 Award for Ridiculous Fishing

Apple gave Vlambeer's Ridiculous Fisher its much-coveted iPhone Game of the Year award and Frogmind's silhouetted platformer Badland was awarded the iPad award. App Store exposure is vital to the success of an app, and these awards are huge successes for the two independent studios that are comprised of only two people.

The duos fought off competition from major studios in 2K Games and EA PopCap and runner-up prizes going to XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Plants vs. Zombies 2. Kevin Ng's rollercoaster-puzzler The Impossible Road and the elegant wordplay of Simogo's Device 6 also picked up runners-up prizes.

If you thought that those awards, while deserved, were a smidge predictable be prepared for more non-raising of eyebrows the most downloaded free app (not just games , but all apps) was Candy Crush Saga, while Minecraft: Pocket Edition was the top-selling paid app of 2013. It's all about ed It's also worth noting that while Candy Crush Saga is free-to-download It was also the highest grossing app of 2013 The app that made the most money was Minecraft: Pocket Edition. It's all about ed Minecraft: Pocket Edition came on the 11th spot.
