Reporting on its second-quarter earnings this week, casual gamemaker Gameloft reported sales of €33.6 million ($43.9 million), up 15 percent from the year prior. At the half-year mark, Gameloft sales have reached €66.6 million ($87.2 million), up 11 percent year-over-year.

During the April-June period, App Store sales for games released on the iPhone and iPad grew 113 percent. Gameloft also attributed its sales growth to an increased share in Java- and Brew-based phones.
