Would you mind disclosing your sales for the past week? What did you do (without pushing an update) that made it shoot up so much?

I have another app, SimplePhysics, which is a far better app, and I made it free last week. I have a notification in it that says: "If you like SimplePhysics, then you should check out my other game, BridgeBasher!" and redirects them to the download page for BB. Since SP is free, it's getting around 80k-100k downloads per day, and really driving sales for BB.

this is on iPhone. SP was top 10 overall paid at one point so not surprised free version gets that much.
