Noogy. The PC versions are self-published.

Best game I played last year.
It's probably less obvious if you're not a native english speaker.
Odd, the GOG version isn't. I suppose Microsoft didn't want to give up that Steam money.
The IP definitely is Noogy's, though:LonelyGreyWolf

I'm Swedish and it's really, really obvious.
You don't think the price had anything to do with it? Sure enough the game actually got a really good sales price by console-standards but you could get the game for just a dollar on PC, and even then you'd get a bunch of other games too.

Bought this for PC, I've enjoyed it very much. Though it does slow down considerably in the middle.
~500,000 of those sales were at a higher price
Game was very cheap on XBLA recently.

Dust is a amazing game, and deserve that.
Who doesn't played yet, it's time to do it.

Probably a lot less than that 500k paid full price, 82k players in 2012.

Dust wasn't released until 2013 on PC, ~500,000 copies were sold in the 6 months between that release date and this Humble Bundle.

Paid full price for it at launch on XBLA. Don't regret it at all. Definitely worth the money.
Tweet suggests lifetime sale including XBLA?
Not necessary disagreeing, just musing over how many paid the full ticket price. Can't be more than 150k, I'm thinking more towards 125k.
Yes, they do include XBLA sales.
Leaderboards are available on XBLA, and though they aren't indicative of overall sales, might be rather close. They are showing around 150,000 sales.
450,000 from Humble Bundle, brings the PC sales prior to the bundle around 400,000.

Bought it, but just couldn't get into it. Great game with fantastic art but.. Somethings missing for me. Well done anyway.

Congratulations Noogy! I'm looking forward to your next project, whatever that may be.

Not really. That theory has been proven wrong many times (though I myself agree and understand the reasoning). I don't remember the exact numbers, but one instance is back when Alan Wake American Nightmares sales-numbers were released. I looked on the leaderboard that same evening and there were way fewer people on the boards than sold number of copies. Also recall that in Bastion.
I agree completely, I said as much myself.

Awesome! I bought it for myself and ShockingAlberto when it came out and it is much deserved.
Thanks, it always warms my heart when someone plays it with their children. My daughter was roughly the same age when I started it, and was my first regular tester, so that certainly had an influence.

Cool, one of the games that had me endure my brothers messy hovel of a room in order to play it on the 360, totally worth it.

I made my thoughts on the game fairly clear in my LTTP thread, so I won't rehash them there. Congrats to Noogy on the sales! We definitely need more big indie success stories.

only problem ive had with the game is that the character portraits didn't scale that well past 1080p.
Come on noogy surely you have 4k assets somewhere

Thank you for such a great game. My kid cousins (boy and girl around 7 and 8) love Fidget a lot. Kinda weird to explain to them as they're playing how to think of air juggling. "Just jump and hit stuff and go everywhere and throw lots of Fidget in that mess!"
