'We have made back our development budget after 3 hours': Mewgenics explodes to number one Steam seller 14 years after its announcement

Mewgenics is a hit. The cat breeding tactics game from Edmund McMillen, creator of Super Meat Boy and Binding of Isaac, and Tyler Glaiel released on Steam today and instantly shot up the charts. It's the number one global top seller on Steam, beating out Counter-Strike 2, PUGB, Helldivers 2, and Arc Raiders.

Or put another way: "We have made back our development budget after 3 hours. Thank you all :)" Glaiel wrote on Bluesky today.

Not bad for a $30 indie game that looks like it could've fallen out of Newgrounds' couch cushions.
