Pixelated local multiplayer action/platformer Towerfall has apparently been selling a lot. How much, you ask? Since the game launched exclusively on the Ouya, only to be later ported to PC and Playstation 4, total units sold have exceeded tens of thousands, and the numbers have broken $500,000 dollars.

The news was confirmed via an interview with Eurogamer, in which creator Matt Thorson confirmed that the Playstation 4 version actually surpassed the other two platforms in terms of sheer numbers:


“I think it’s just a console game, ya know? People have controllers – it’s not confusing to get the controllers like it is for PC – and people have it in their living rooms already. I think a lot of people still sit down with their friends when they play their consoles, whereas they don’t do that on PC.”

Thorson also attributed the success of Towerfall on Playstation 4 to Sony’s strong embrace of indies, and their prominent showcasing of them on both their store and the social circles.

Lastly, Thorson confirmed that Towerfall is the best selling game on the Ouya microconsole, selling more than 7000 copies on the platform.
