Introducing Lelu!
An adventure game where you play as a clockwork toy escaping a toy factory. Find items, solve puzzles, battle enemies and bosses, and find the exit.
The steam page is live now!

Like I said yesterday, you are DEFINITELY better off just downloading it from Steam and playing it yourself. This is my gameplay of it, in case you can't or don't wanna.

Lelu Demo - OUT NOW!!
I'm so excited to finally share the demo with you all.
I've been working on this project for almost 2 years now, so it feels great to be able to get it out there!

One of the main mechanics of Lelu actually came about by accident - and lots of playtesting - the perfect charge parry/reflect (not sure what else to name it)

Calling all playtesters!
I'm looking for some people who'd be interested in testing out my game Lelu as I get closer to the finish line 😬
If it looks like your cuppa tea, then either shoot me a DM or join the discord!
