Gambonanza reached 300,000 sales in 3 months and I decided to dig into some of Steam's deeper stats for those who are interested!
- Refund rate
- Playtime
- etc...
I've received quite a few questions about my data, so let's go!

Did Gamescom actually boost my game's sales? 👀
Gambonanza is already 4 months old, so I was curious to see what would happen after spending a week at one of the biggest game events in the world!

Gambo has a modding community now and it's honestly WILD and they're SUPER active!
They've even made a CO-OP mode!
I love seeing people take my silly little game and turn it into something completely their own!

It's my first time doing an event this big, and honestly... I'm a little intimidated!
If you're there, come say hi and play Gambo!
I'd love to meet some of you and watch you break my game in person!
