Very good sales
That's not all, as Kostowski also revealed in his tweet that 49,000 people have purchased the game so far, which is an impressive result, considering the small size of Crazy Rocks, the studio responsible for the game.

Interestingly, Kostowski revealed that the total budget allocated for the production was 2 million PLN (around $500 thousand), including development and marketing expenses.
Console ports on the way
Commercial success has undoubtedly rejoiced the developers involved in this project, as they have already announced the creation of the game's console ports, which Kostowski assures are due later this year.
