Juicy Beast said earlier this month that the studio was disappointed by the sales of Toto Temple Deluxe. A few days ago, the company shared some concrete data.

Toto Temple Deluxe has sold roughly 6,000 copies across all platforms. You can see a breakdown of sales by platform above, which seems to show that the Wii U version outperformed the likes of Steam and Xbox One. It’s also fairly close to the PlayStation 4 edition.

Juicy Beast hopes that Toto Temple Deluxe will “benefit from the long tail eventually”.

In a new developer blog, Juicy Beast stated that Toto Temple Deluxe “didn’t sell very well”. The developer shared some potential reasons as to why the game didn’t perform as well as the studio had hoped.

Here’s a notable excerpt from the piece:

There’s a good possibility that the game didn’t have good enough “hooks” to captivate people’s attention. Sure, “fighting your friends to put an egg-laying goat on your head” sounds funny and weird, but it doesn’t really give you a clear idea of what it’s like to play Toto Temple Deluxe.

At the end of the day, we think the biggest factor is because it’s a local-multiplayer game with no online play. The game is aiming at a pretty niche audience by requiring actual human friends to play, and we can’t ignore the impact it has on sales. A quick look at comments on YouTube, Reddit and such, and it’s obvious that a lot of people are simply not buying the game for this very reason (that along a lack of solo experience).

On top of all this, we also think the game came out almost 2 years too late. Back in 2014, when the local-multiplayer boom was happening, Toto Temple Deluxe’s development felt more logical. Today, it feels a bit out of place, as we think a lot of player might have bought popular local-multiplayer games in the past, then realised that they would play them less and less frequently. We definitely can’t blame them, since it’s pretty much the same for us.
