HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (108 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Store description

Skul is a fast-paced action rogue-lite where losing your head is encouraged. Featuring 100 playable characters each with their own unique abilities and a ton of items that can create wild synergies, the battles are as electrifying as they are challenging. The Demon King's Castle in Ruins The human race attacking the Demon King's castle is nothing new and has happened countless times before. What makes this time different though, is that the Adventurers decided to join forces with the Imperial Army and the 'Hero of Caerleon' to lead a full onslaught in hopes of wiping out the Demons once and for all. They attacked the Demon stronghold with overwhelming numbers and succeeded in its total destruction. All of the demons in the castle were taken prisoner except for one lone skeleton named 'Skul'. Dark Mirror Mode Once you're through with the main story, test your skills and limits in the new challenging 'Dark Mirror' mode! FEATURES -You’re the last hope of the entire demon race! Play as Skul, a tiny skeleton on a path to slay the pompous heroes and save the demon king from the corrupt army of Carleon. -Losing your head never felt so right: try on new skulls to borrow the powers and dashing outfits of their previous owners and create synergies with unique items to defeat your enemies. -What is dead may never die: you will not rest until you have faced all the challenges of this action-packed rogue-lite platformer. -Let your hollow eyes feast upon vibrant, cartoony pixel-art 2D animations as you help all sorts of demonic creatures return to their original state. -From the Mummies of Egypt to the Minotaur of Greece or even an official Dead Cells crossover… Will you spot all the fun easter eggs scattered across the game? CAREFULLY REDESIGNED FOR MOBILE - Revamped interface – exclusive mobile UI with complete touch control - Cloud Save – Share your progress between Android devices - Controller support
