De Mambo dev pleased with sales thus far
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment
De Mambo developer Dangerous Kitchen posted a new blog this week. In it, there’s some discussion about the game’s sales. While the game “didn’t light up the world with its blazing glory,” Dangerous Kitchen says “it did great” given how it didn’t have much of a marketing budget.
There’s more to come for De Mambo players, as Dangerous Kitchen has two updates in the pipeline. The team will be adding “more multiplayer stages and more singleplayer content that includes new modes to play and other things we’ve received as feedback.”
