Appologies for the lack of updates, Things Have been Minorly delayed by the sudden apearance and disapearance of a wrist injury, though i should be back on track. Ive mostly been working on school junk but the demo update is nearly done! (fingers crossed) Hope you're well!
Current progress on the demo end screen Im also debating making it the proper end screen for the game, though it would obviously need some small tweaks. (I still gotta go through my list of names to add)

Just as I thought I was done with the demo, I tried it with a controller and discovered like 3 different bugs all at once. Apologies for the lack of updates for the last few days, midterms decided to hit like a truck. hope youre well!

Check out Umbra by @eliasdoesathing.bsky.social
And tell him to add a coyote timer 😊
That's totally because it's a good idea and not because I suck at timing my jumps. Honest.

the weird thing i've noticed about running a monthly comic is, that my art style tends to drift a bit between frames as they take their own indeterminent amount of time to complete.
