◢◤ CULTIVATOR is live now on @play.date Catalog! ◥◣

I started this project making a bunch of crazy 1-bit visual effects to go along with my music. Over the past year I've ended up building a short narrative farming sim experience around it.

I’m admittedly completely biased but this review of Cherry Hill by @thegamellama.bsky.social is a fun read 💝☺️

(p.s. sorry everyone for accidentally cramming boss fights into the game 💅)
