A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Difficult + Music, priced around $5.
  • The breakout hits carry Music + Great Soundtrack + Precision Platformer; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2009 to 2023, a lane with a long track record.
