I know it's a little late but thank you so much for everyone who came out to CIGS this year and made all of our work worth it! And a special big hand to the hard work from all the people at @indiecitygames.org for putting it all together and making an unforgettable showcase

The secret to my design concepts is that they're so bad that no one else can interpret them

Steam reporting metrics still delayed due to the Summer Sale? But how am I supposed to obsessively check our wishlists every day...

BradStar | Game Dev @bradstar879.bsky.social · Jul 9

Bought it, played it, and beat all the time trials (although some had me sweating) last weekend! Very cute cozy game with super satisfying platforming, highly recommend!
