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 Indie, priced around $8.
  • The breakout hits carry Violent + Indie + Pixel Graphics; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2012 to 2020, a lane with a long track record.
