<p><span style="color: #000000;">Indie developer Matt Thorson has confirmed to Eurogamer that his hit indie title <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG_vhHWwFSk">Towerfall Ascension</a> is doing better on PS4 than it is on Steam. Originally an exclusive for the <a href="https://bagogames.com/ouya-console-kickstarter-campaign-details/">Ouya</a>, Towerfall is a 2D archery combat title with both single player and multiplayer modes. Earlier this year the game was<a href="https://bagogames.com/ouya-exclusive-towerfall-confirmed-for-pc-release/"> ported to the PC</a> and PS4 as Towerfall: Ascension and has already grossed over $500,000.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Thorson believes that the success of his game on the PS4 can be attributed to how well suited Towerfall is to the platform. &#8221;I think it&#8217;s just a console game, ya know?&#8221; he said. &#8220;People have controllers &#8211; it&#8217;s not confusing to get the controllers like it is for PC &#8211; and people have it in their living rooms already. I think a lot of people still sit down with their friends when they play their consoles, whereas they don&#8217;t do that on PC.&#8221; He went on to praise the help he&#8217;d been given by Sony, saying that &#8221;they&#8217;ve featured and promoted it really well&#8221;.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This news will be very pleasing for Sony who have made indie titles a huge focus point for the PS4. In the last few years Steam has been seen as the obvious platform of choice for indie developers, but the sales of Towerfall: Ascension have shown that consoles are starting to catch up. </span></p>
