Missile City AeroLeague on Steam
Missile City AeroLeague is a little like Street Fighter and a lot like Windjammers. Now with 40% more Sports Magick™!

I’ve been working as the sole programmer for Missile City Aeroleague for some time now. It’s a little like Street Fighter and a lot like Windjammers. Wishlisting the game on Steam is the best way to show us some love at the moment: store.steampowered.com/app/2323920/...
I’ve played and greatly enjoyed the PICO-8 versions of most of these but will definitely be picking up the collection, grats on shipping!

That’s funny, I thought of Cult of the Lamb after I posted this. Pretty much the only game that comes close. I’ve never played Moonlighter but it’s now on my list 🙂

I’m playing the original again for the first time since I was a kid and it still holds up so well. It’s the game that made me love weird asymmetrical game loops.

Balatro at the number 1 spot of course, and I’m pretty sure most of my Infinite Wealth playtime was spent on Dondoko Island. Also if you enjoy roguelike deckbuilders and haven’t played Wildfrost, definitely check it out.

It’s really cool how much Seattle Indies has grown over the years. I remember going to the small meetups about 10 years ago at Wilde Rover in Kirkland (now closed). Life got busy but I want to start making it out to these events again!
