Johnny-K month ago have released "Regdoll Cannon:Remake" - as PC Shareware game.

PC version was made with BlitzMax. For first month flash version was loaded 2.5m times and bought 100 times(for price 10$).
No sponsors, no ads in game.

Source(Ru).

Crisis come to me too =). eCPM is low as never. I found good moment to hold releases, and invest more time into development.
No new games released. EG average 7k uv for this month.

Total by Games - 775$. Total by portal - 220$.
