Having built up its standing in Flash games, it's safe to say MiniClip's decision to add mobile to its roster can be crowned a success, with cumulative downloads on iOS surpassing the 50 million mark.

The studio's year one library - which includes the likes of Monster Island, Fragger, Gravity Guy and iStunt 2 – was clocking up 1 million downloads a day at its peak, thanks to MiniClip taking charge of the top three spots in the App Store's free releases chart in the US.

No cap on the Clip

"We're simply blown away with the success we've achieved in such a short time with our new mobile division," said MiniClip's mobile head Sergio Varanda.

"The team we've assembled is world class and will help to continue to drive our incredible mobile growth over 2012 and beyond."

Things are only getting better, too. MiniClip reports its most recent release – iStunt 2 – is the studio's best selling release to date, having amassed 700,000 downloads in less than three months.

As a result of the studio's success, MiniClip is now expanding beyond iOS, working on titles for Android, Symbian and Windows Phone.
