Read some very nice words on HeroSquare 💖

The best part of being a dev is knowing that people enjoy your work!

It's a simple hero, so it's hard to know what kind of style would work haha

HeroSquare: Simple visuals give little warning of what's to come in this brutal retro metroidvania
Not every game needs detailed, intricate art to shine. HeroSquare has brutal mechanics that will challenge you at every step.
