A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

6 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 2 are breakout hits far above it.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Platformer, priced around $17.
  • The breakout hits carry Co-op + Level Editor + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2009 to 2024, a lane with a long track record.
