I’m most impressed by:
“50% – proportion of IndieGames.com’s top Indie Games of 2010 made using Game Maker”
Surprised the decompiler has so few downloads though.
I like how the numbers increase down the list.
I think it was intentionally done that way, Jack
Obviously.
This is a really neat way to reflect on what has happened in 2010! Except, yoyogames technically has 11 apps published if you count the lite version of They Need To Be Fed.
The 50% one is really impressive, and I’m glad there isn’t very many downloads on the decompiler. And the 75k is really amazing, hopefully those people will check out some of Yoyo’s other games.
