Yeah the opening to this game sucks ass. It picks up a bit once you get to the first dungeon.

Just rotate the whole keyboard 45 degrees

The game is looking great!

But you should consider adding some screenshots with UI to the steam page. Its very hard to tell from the screenshots how the game is played

- Full time job
- A game project
- Enough sleep

You can only have 2 of the three

it's hard to be an indie gamedev when you have a full time job and also you're eepy

Sometimes I scroll through steam categories to see where my game shows up (this is under "pirates"), I thought it was funny to see @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social basically right above my game A Short Odyssey in the list.

I like the little bounce at the end

I miss games releasing in a box, where the box contained an immutable copy of the game

Hey Indie devs, where do you share your trailers?

I think I finally have a decent trailer for my game but I'm not really sure where I should share it. Any ideas would be very much appreciated 🙏
