You Go Boom

Short description

Jeb dreams of one day becoming a big game developer and he's created a bunch of cheesy arcade games that he wants people to play-test for him. But he doesn't want any girls because he thinks girls aren't any good at video games. Lilith will try to show him just how wrong he is.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $8.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
