Game Insight’s Guns of Boom hits 5 million downloads and $1 million in revenue

Game Insight has a nice hit on its hands with Guns of Boom. The first-person shooter mobile game has generated 5 million downloads in the past three weeks, and it has surpassed $1 million in revenues.

That suggests that mobile gamers may be getting more comfortable with both shooters and free-to-play games on mobile. The title comes from Vilnius, Lithuania-based Game Insight. It is available on the iOS App Store and Google Play, and it has lots of five-star reviews on both. It reminds me of Team Fortress 2, only on mobile.
