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.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Difficult + Music, priced around $5.
  • The breakout hits carry Precision Platformer + Level Editor + 2D; a typical game here doesn't.
