Compared with the same day previous week.

Tue: 913.04%
Wed: 856.25%
Thu: 647.37%
Fri: 825.00%
Sat: 505.88%
Sun: 1223.81%
Mon: 280.33%

On Saturday, I tried to shoot for a higher ranking on the chart by dropping it to 99c. The result was that I made a lot less money and only moved up in rank about 5 spots that day so I ended the sale late Saturday night.

By Tuesday, Sniper Strike was still on the section, but had been bumped to the right by 15 new New&Noteworthy games.

As compared to the week _before_ Sniper Strike landed on New & Noteworthy.
Tue: 360.87%
Wed: 309.38%
Thu: 226.32%

So the drop off was sharp as expected.

During this entire period (pre and post feature), I was also doing a little bit of advertising. The advertising costs has been subtracted out of the figures above.

As far as absolute numbers, I'm not going to post it here. But I've had a game in the past make as much as Sniper Strike made in a week in just 2 days. Different game, different genre, and different time.

I've covered the cost of art & music. So from this point on, I'm recovering labor costs. Overall, I'm happy with the results. Just last October, I wasn't sure what to do with this game. So to go from being stuck at a dead end to this point has been a really pleasant surprise.
