DENVER, June 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SPYR, INC.

(https://play.google.com/store/apps/category/GAME/collection/topselling_new_free).
SPYR announced the launch of Plucky Rush in the Google Play store two weeks ago. In that time Plucky Rush has grown rapidly in popularity and is now ranked in the top 50 new free games in the Play Store. This is due to a number of factors including the fact that Plucky Rush garnered over 50,000 downloads in its first two weeks of release (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spyrapps.pluckyrush) and total installs are still climbing. Currently, almost 40% of Plucky Rush players on Android return to play multiple times. In addition to having an increasing number of downloads, Plucky Rush received over 300 comments and ratings in its first two weeks and has maintained at least a 4 star rating.
James R. Thompson, CEO of SPYR states, "In an age of short attention spans and increasing competition, we have managed to pull out a winner with our second game, Plucky Rush. We are ecstatic over the success of the game so far. The success of Plucky Rush tells us that we are on the right track in continuing to develop mobile games and we don't intend to stop with Plucky Rush."
