Follow on Google News | High-Schooler Sells Title Rights To Game, Re-releases App Under New NameZach DeStefano, high schooler and Founder of Z-Licious Games, sold the title rights to his app, Tiny Miner, to Qube 3D, in a combo cash and advertising deal. It has now been re-released as Retro Miner and is available in Apple and Google stores.
The game has now been re-released as Retro Miner and is available in the Apple and Google app stores. Retro Miner is a scrolling, ore-mining game with touch controls featuring multiple modes of play and an in-game currency system of Miner Dollars for purchasing ship upgrades including shields, turbo boosts, and mining magnets. The iOS version also features Leaderboards and Game Center achievements to compete against friends. Current users of Tiny Miner who upgrade their app to Retro Miner will keep their in-game currency, ship upgrades, high scores and unlocked achievements. "I am surprised that Tiny Miner is still receiving so many downloads after 2 years, and I never imagined an established company like Qube 3D would be interested in buying the title rights. It has been both a technical and entrepreneurial learning experience, and I hope that Retro Miner and my future games continue this trend," said DeStefano. Retro Miner is available as a free download in the App Store for iOS and on Google Play for Android devices and is approved for all ages. In-app purchases to quickly obtain Miner Dollars are available for prices of $0.99, $4.99, $9.99, and $19.99.
