Early-access aircraft-assembly sandbox where players build, test and fly custom planes to complete cargo and speed challenges across themed islands.

Aviassembly is a quiet hit from a solo developer with exceptionally strong retention metrics: nearly a thousand lifetime net revenue, sustained monthly residuals in the mid-five-figures, and a 96% positive review ratio driven by genuine player affection rather than hype. The community is small but vocal and engaged, asking for more islands, mission variety, and optional multiplayer; the developer ships updates regularly. For a publisher or revival partner, this represents a low-risk catalog acquisition with meaningful expansion upside: the core loop is proven, the IP is proprietary, and player asks are tractable. Most realistic play: acquisition.

Risk: Current player base is modest and the niche (single-player aircraft-design sandbox) has limited mainstream appeal; growth depends entirely on content expansion and discovery.
Risk: Early-access status and missing quality-of-life features (cloud saves, persistent bug fixes) may deter new players and complicate platform migration.
Risk: Solo-developer dependency; acquisition would require retaining or replacing Jelle Booij or establishing a second team to sustain update cadence.
