Indie Miner Dome Keeper Surges with 2,500% Increase in Concurrent Players

Dome Keeper is an indie game that presents an exceptional rogue-lite mining experience, where players must confront ever-escalating hordes of shadowy monsters. In the brief respites between these relentless waves of attacks, players delve into the depths to mine valuable resources. These resources are then used to fortify and enhance their dome defenses, preparing them for the next intense onslaught.

On October 5th, Bippinbits, the developer of Dome Keeper, made a notable splash with the release of the highly anticipated Double Dome update for the game. This patch not only brought in a wealth of fresh content but also tackled important issues, delivering enhanced balance to the game. As an added bonus, the game is currently available at a 60% discount, generating substantial interest and enticing a surge of new players to embark on this thrilling adventure.

Since the release of the new patch, a staggering surge in online player activity for Dome Keeper on Steam was revealed by SteamDB, experiencing a remarkable 2500% increase compared to its usual figures within three days. Prior to the patch launch, there were approximately 200 concurrent players engaged in Dome Keeper. However, on October 8, this number skyrocketed to an astonishing 5,285 players, indicating a tremendous boost in popularity and player engagement. As for now, the number of concurrent players is 1,842.

Dome Keeper has achieved record-breaking numbers once again, matching its launch day success. On September 27, 2022, the game captivated a staggering online audience of 6,883 people, demonstrating its enduring popularity amongst gamers. Back then, Bippinbits struck gold with Dome Keeper, marking a massive success for the indie studio.
