What Are Your Sales Expectations for this Game?

Just Curious. But it's a very confidential question, so you don't have to answer if you don't want to of course.

I'd be just curious to know if its selling well, well enough that the two bits can have the success they deserve.  Is the gaming world figuring it out or not?  but of course I knew better than to ask.  couldn't resist.  sorry.  You guys rock.   :P

Oh, it's okay! :)

We can't release our exact sales figures, but I can tell you that we've done well enough that I think we can keep making games!  And really, it's all because of your guys's support for Aquaria so far.  Thank you. :-*

I'm pretty excited about the future of Bit Blot, and of indie gaming!  We have some cool ideas that we can't wait to show you!

I know I bought one. And I know another guy who did, so they have at least two sales.

I think it's a safe bet that right now, they have sold over 5 copies and they plan to sell it until everyone in the world has one. 

Ah ha seriously now, I really hope these guys make enough so that they keep making games. :)

Does that swimming in money involve the verse? 'Cos if it does, I'll fly to America just to join them! O0

Glad you guys are doing well!! Very glad actually! I'm not even done Aquaria yet, but I can honestly say it's in my top ten favorite games of all time! I really can't wait to see what else you guys can do! Perhaps... a return to... dare I say.. Trigger Happy 2!! Muwahahaha. But seriously, I played that demo atleast 50 times. I wish I could still play it....

I really hope you guys can get Aquaria up on Steam and/or Xbox Live Arcade. That will not only bring you guys a heck of a lot more sales, but it'll bring you a lot of recognition as well. Regardless, I'm glad things are going well, keep up the good work, Aquaria is amazing. Enjoy that long nap ^-^

Edit: I just found the BES mirror. And yes, I'm downloading that demo, and yes, I'm going to play it for the next two hours.

Haha!  I actually probably will finish TH2 one of these days (PLEASE don't hold me to that ;) ).  I don't know if I could die 100% happy with that on my conscience.

Of course you know that you absolutely can't!  :D

I think they should make "I'm O.K. Again -- The Return".
