The Heist steals to the top of theApp Store with 100k downloads

And that was in just two days.

It's too early to start talking about The Heist dethroning Angry Birds, but Tap Tap Tap's new iPhone puzzle game has knocked Rovio's feathery franchise off the top of the App Store charts for now.

The game sold 100,000 downloads in its first two days last week to top both the Top Paid and Top Grossing charts on Apple's store.

It follows Tap Tap Tap's previous success with Camera+, another iPhone app that aims to do a better job at mobile photography than Apple's native camera application.

The large user base for that app likely helped The Heist's overnight succcess, but once at the top of the charts, it has clearly been attracting downloads from casual users browsing Apple's rankings.
