Interesting that Google Play made 12.1% of sales and 13.9% revenue. Amazon Paid was 3.7% sales to 4.3% revenue.
That said, I really do find the success of this game baffling. It's 45 minutes of play time. The graphics are good, but the puzzles are simplistic and the story is... thin.
Their previous game - Whale Trail [1] - was fantastic. Offered a huge amount of gameplay, was a critical hit, but appeared to be a commercial flop.
Is it just the luck of the draw? A better PR campaign this time? Or something else?

Still - good luck to 'em!
