Go wishlist Turnip Mountain on Steam!
It's not in the Next Fest or anything, but it would make me happy, so that's good enough of a reason 💓
The demo's still up, you can bash it out in 10 minutes and it's co-op if you want to suffer with a friend!

Was so taken by @lukesanderson.bsky.social’s Turnip Mountain that I made a silly video about it #steamnextfest

'Turnip Mountain feels like a looser, wackier version of Jusant, where sometimes the solution to a climbing puzzle is just flinging yourself toward another wall as hard as you can and hoping for the best.'

So far I'm loving the swinging and clambering in Turnip Mountain, merging precision play with arcadey vibes! @lukesanderson.bsky.social

🍓Folks keep mistaking our lovely turnip for a strawberry... so I added a strawberry palette to the game. Yummy!

🤫The good thing about working at a low resolution is that you can make a rubbish model and no one will ever know!!

Merci @lukesanderson.bsky.social pour cette magnifique aventure @play.date , si on m'avait dit que je m'amuserais autant avec un navet qui fait de l'escalade, je n'y aurais jamais cru ! 🧗🥕

Mécaniques, level design et courbe de progression au top ! Que demander de plus 😊

Map screen improvements 🗺️

Fun fact: this isn't a 3D model in engine - it's a huge animation that I scrub through to move between levels. Neat!

Turnip, climbing Celeste. It's phenomenal. (and the music if GREAT!)
