The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

The game is using @electron/asar which isn't anything special.

Hop: 25x faster than unzip and 10x faster than tar at reading individual files
Since Hop doesn't do compression, the most appropriate comparison would be to asar
https://github.com/electron/asar
It's not hard being faster than zip if you are not compressing/uncompressing.

2 software devs: We would love to write the code for your idea! Round #3
We just had a look at Twitch Studio for the first time. We've been using OBS so far. It looks like Twitch Studio is closed source and Twitch doesn't have a way for the community to release plugins for it. Twitch Studio is an Electron app, so I was able to reverse-engineer the source code by using asar, but unfortunately Twitch obfuscated all the code which makes it very hard to understand what's going on. Looks like we'd have to wait until Twitch Studio brings official support for developer plugins... (I hope our analysis is right, please correct us if not.)

Injecting electron apps with Crystal
Asar is a simple extensive archive format, it works like tar that concatenates all files together without compression, while having random access support. ~ https://github.com/electron/asar/blob/master/README.md
What are some alternatives?
When comparing hop and asar you can also consider the following projects:
pixz - Parallel, indexed xz compressor
ratarmount - Access large archives as a filesystem efficiently, e.g., TAR, RAR, ZIP, GZ, BZ2, XZ, ZSTD archives
