Pocket God and Flight Control made headlines after surpassing two million sales units over the past week, and the free-to-play action game Waterslide Extreme has just celebrated a milestone of its own. Waterslide Extreme has now been downloaded more than 10 million times since its launch in July of last year.

Waterslide Extreme earned more than two million downloads in its first week of release, and topped Apple’s free app charts in 19 countries. The game, in which players tilt the accelerometer to descend a series of twisting 3D waterslides, was developed by Fishlabs to tie in with an advertising campaign for the UK credit company Barclaycard.

Waterslide Extreme saw a recent boost in popularity over the holiday season, which brought in another one million downloads from new iPhone and iPod Touch owners. After returning to the U.S. free app charts, the app now averages 40,000 downloads per day.

Fishlabs claims that Waterslide Extreme “may be the most internationally successful ad game in the App Store,” with players contributing to an average brand engagement period of 100 million minutes in the app’s first six months of release.
