The chaps at Bolt Creative are always generous when it comes to handing out the data they've gained via the success of the 1.5 million-selling Pocket God.

The latest reveal is there are more iPod touch than iPhone players of the game; although the split is roughly 50:50.

This is different to most other games on the App Store, which generally split 70:30 in favour of iPhone.

"Pocket God users skew towards the iPod touch more than most other games backs up because we reach a largely untapped market of teens, tweens, parents and their kids," explained Bolt Creative's David Castelnuovo.

More figures shown how dedicated Pocket God users can be: the app has been launched more than 50 million times by roughly 1.5 million unique users; which on average is 33 games each.

But on Thursday 3rd September 2009, 8,400 unique users launched the game over 352,000 times - an average of 41 sessions per user during the 24-hour period.

It was a black day indeed for virtual pygmies.
