By Andrew Haak - January 22, 2013

We’ve published a number of articles that look back at 2012: a letter from our Founder and CEO David Baszucki, a recap of the hottest blog articles of the year, and a who’s-who of popular games and catalog items.

–Update–At the time this article was being written, we were informed that three exclusive items have hit the iTunes Store, available to iPad users and (soon!) iPhone and iTouch users as well. The iBot, iFace, and iJet, will turn your ROBLOX character into a jet-strapped robot from the future, with a tablet device for a head to boot. If you want to check them out, pop over to the iTunes Store on your iOS device and pick them up for $0.99 each.

ROBLOX has officially been on iOS long enough for us to pull some numbers and analyze some data. Our app that supported gameplay (and is also free, by the way) launched in November to the iTunes store, and we’ve received an astonishing amount of downloads and game sessions in the mobile hemisphere.
