happy #ScreenshotSaturday! 🌼 Floramino has a UI upgrade in the works that we're super excited about -- we'll be saying goodbye to the OG UI pretty soon! #pixelart #indiegames #cozygames #gamedev

A screenshot of a pixel art background of ducks in a pond with a tile-based plot with flowers being planted. There's a hanging sign with the words "80 days" on it, and a collection of objects on the bottom for seeds and harvesting and cutting items.

Daily bunny no.3086 unearths a tome

A bunny takes a very scary-looking book from a bookshelf, in an old mysterious reading room. The book is red, and has a glowing eye on it as well as strange patterns. The entire book is faintly glowing as well. An apparition and a face in a painting watch the bunny apprehensively.
