Note written 2026-09-20; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A cozy puzzle game about sorting and connecting fossils through evolutionary traits, built around a novel line-matching mechanic.

Fossil Corner sits in the sweet spot of overlooked indie puzzlers: durable 98% positive sentiment, modest but persistent residuals around $200/mo, and a mechanics-first design that hasn't been copied into saturation. The audience is small and quiet, but loyal. This is a candidate for a patient publisher seeking catalog depth in casual/puzzle, or a studio looking to clone the core mechanic into adjacent IP without outright acquisition. Most realistic play: publishing.

Risk: Extremely narrow peak audience (3 players in last 30 days) suggests the title's appeal ceiling may be genuinely low rather than marketing-constrained.
Risk: Solo developer with no recent communication (19 months since last post) raises questions about availability for post-acquisition support or updates.
Risk: Single-language build despite demand signals in Simplified Chinese; localization gaps may be suppressing untapped regional revenue.
