Great Numbers!

Kamiko has wracked up another sales achievement. According to Circle Entertainment, who has some ties to the game, over 150.000 copies have been sold worldwide.

For reference, Kamiko’s last sales update was at 110,000 copies. That was back in July.

It's a 5-dollar game, though, with Nintendo taking 20%, right? How many people work on games like these, usually, for how long?

I know Cave Story took about 5 years made by one man during his free time. Considering the game is shorter, I'd say the development time was 1-2 years most

Lovely little game! Hope there's a sequel!

It's on my list to acquire when I finally get around to getting a Switch.

I'm not surprised, it came out at a good time for a good price. I wasn't a huge fan of it personally - it ended far too soon for my liking, but somehow also overstayed its welcome - but I do need to go back and give it another shot with some fresh eyes.

I want a sequel!

It's okay to dislike an indie game(just saying in case)

They were upselling this game in the news section on the Switch. As long as they continue to do so, it will sell. It would be interesting to see it in some indie-bundles.

from what I remember hearing.

Its kinda like a zelda clone, but to unlock stuff you have to carry keys or whatever overhead, and cant attack while doing so, takeing dmg or attacking something drops the keys, and you have to go back to the key giver.

Its difficulty is really low, and its beat in like 1 hours (first play through). Speedrun is about 25m.
Its a avg at best game..... but if your bored and wanna try it, its only 5$.
