The checkout line for Discounty just keeps growing. The debut indie game from Crinkle Cut Games, published by PQube, has officially sold over 100,000 copies worldwide since launching on August 21.
This quirky supermarket management game has quickly found its audience, climbing to #2 on the Nintendo Switch charts (currently holding strong in the top 5), snagging the #1 spot on Steam’s New & Trending list, and earning more than 250,000 wishlists. Simply put, Discounty is shaping up to be one of 2025’s must-play indie hits.
Why Players Love Discounty
Set in the seaside town of Blomkest, Discounty blends cozy store management gameplay, small-town secrets, and tongue-in-cheek humor. Players are stocking shelves, customizing their supermarkets, making questionable trade deals, and stirring up more drama than the express checkout line on a Sunday afternoon.
Developed by a five-person team, Discounty proves that indie creativity and original ideas can still dominate the charts. And this is just the start—Crinkle Cut Games has confirmed free updates, new features, and quality-of-life improvements are already in the pipeline.
“We’re beyond thrilled with the community’s support,” said Ian Stewart, Communications Director at Crinkle Cut Games. “Because of them, we can keep developing new content—expanding the endgame, adding replayability, and giving players even more reasons to keep coming back.”
Andy Pearson, Chief Marketing Officer at PQube, added:
“Discounty is proof that passionate indie developers can create something players love. Working with Crinkle Cut Games has been a joy, and we’re excited to see where Blomkest goes next.”
