Dave the Diver sold an impressive 1 million copies just 10 days after launch.
Mintrocket’s debut game launched on Steam on June 28 and quickly shot up the most-played games chart. Its peak concurrent player record is currently 98,000, with 66,000 concurrent viewers achieved on Twitch.
Dave the Diver is a 2.5D pixel art game in which you explore the deep sea during the day and run a sushi restaurant at night. IGN’s Dave the Diver review returned a 9/10: “Dave The Diver is an aquatic adventure RPG that’s wholesome, wonderfully complex, and delightfully hard to put down.”
“I appreciate the community so much for being active and providing crucial feedback,” said Game Director Jaeho Hwang. “We improved a lot of systems and found bugs thanks to them. Thanks everyone for being there with us on this journey!”
Already a PC hit, Dave the Diver launches on Nintendo Switch later this year.
