Sick, I've always wanted to get into it but found it to be a brick wall. Way beyond my paygrade at this point!

Our game #ViralReloadEX is in Steam Next Fest!!! I've been working on it for 5 years now, and I almost died in the process. The demo is rad and if you love #shmups or #bullethell games I think you'll get a kick out of it!

(irl) Have you played any of the new Stern games? I participate in a local tournament and haven't enjoyed Jaws or Uncanny X-men very much. But DnD was rad and of course Godzilla is a favorite!
Not Stern, but if you haven't given pulp fiction a shot its a great game, but almost as hard as Elvira PM

Here's more art I'm working on for Viral Reload Ex! As always large character pieces like this are drawn by @curleyclown.bsky.social first and then I translate them to pixel art! Drawn in @pixquare-app.bsky.social
