To initiate a new board, I thought I'd take a look at how the various games in the Knuckle Cracker franchise are faring on some of the Flash sites I frequent.
Here is some data. I wish I'd thought about this earlier, then we could have some comparative data to compare the various games at about the same time in their life cycles. (Virgil?)
Kongregate:
Game | Release Date | Months on Kongregate | Number of plays 2011-12-01 | Rating |
Chopraider | 4/1/2008 | 44 | 387 901 | 3.86 |
CW:TS | 12/22/2009 | 23 | 1 091 687 | 4.23 |
CW:US | 9/20/2011 | 3 | 695 251 | 4.37 |
CW:E | 11/21/2011 | <1 | 294 158 | 4.35 |
Armor Games:
Game | Number of plays | Rating |
Chopraider | 236 700 | 7.8 |
CW:TS | 1 101 124 | 8.8 |
CW:US | 535 179 | 8.6 |
CW:E | 553 198 | 7.6 |
Attached is a chart that shows monthly views for the four flash games. CW:E and CW:US are new, so they have just or are just spiking. ChopRaider and CW:TS as over a year old, so you can see their play levels now that they are flash games "emeritus".
Note that these figures do not include game plays at ArmorGames, but they do include game plays from kongregate and all other flash sites that host the games.
