Rapid Sales Success: Achieving 100,000 Sales in a Single Day for Aggro Crab and Landfall Expansion Pack, Peak
Peakin' to Success:
The indie climbing adventure, Peak, created by Aggro Crab and Landfall, soared past 100,000 sales within a day. Aggro Crab excitement overflowed on Bluesky about this milestone, but the fascinating story behind Peak's development is worth a climb.
Remember how Aggro Crab spoke to our site at GDC about their struggles securing funds for their next project, despite the success of Another Crab's Treasure? They needed a whopping $3 million to $4 million, but investors were sketched out, pushing Aggro Crab to develop smaller projects instead. Burnout loomed after working on Another Crab's Treasure, and Paige Wilson, the community manager, shared this two weeks ago in a studio update.
"Workin' on a game when you ain't feelin' it? Not fun!" she said. Aggro Crab's solution? Shake things up! Instead of a large project, they decided to create two smaller, lighter games – Peak and Crashout Crew.
Teaming up with Totally Accurate Battle Simulator developer Landfall, the Aggro Crab gang cleverly crafted Peak. Meanwhile, the rest of the team went all-in on Crashout Crew, keeping the studio's signature humor and passion present in both projects.
"Small games, big fun!" Wilson exclaimed proudly. "Both games are quite different from our previous releases, yet they're packed with our team's humor and passion."
Gone was Going Under 2, but on the bright side, they got not one, but two refreshing projects, backed by their own hard work and spirit. Result? A rejuvenated Aggro Crab ready to take on the gaming world once more!
Since the release of the first gameplay teaser, Peak gained momentum, quickly evolving from a Landfall teaser in April to a $5 introductory offer in June 2025. The diminished price has likely encouraged groups of friends to conquer the game's titular peak together.
These ups and downs demonstrate Aggro Crab's resilience in the face of adversity, their ability to adapt, and ultimately, their ingenuity in delivering Peak to the gaming community.
