This is some really nice fan art! If we ever get to Off the Rails for Nitromes Classics Range I would hope we could do some cover art as epic as this!

We have used them several times before and have often been commended for them being quite good.

The store localisations are all them.

How to make a cool new Boss for #TwinShotDeluxe FINAL part.

A quick re-colour after realising that all solid stone in game is blue 😬

Made boss taller to improve climbing difficulty. Added graphical polish, Boss has new moves like HEAD TURN, Added arena background stamps and… world 1 boss is DONE!

Start to Map out some collisons and movement in game. Update the graphics with pixel-art.

Jank and boss balance still remains at this stage but we are finally getting somewhere!

Flightless. We would love the opportunity to return to this one day.

Sorry but I think porting to retro consoles is beyond the scope of this. It would be very cool but we’re really using Unity to target platforms and DS would need another ground up port.

Sorry. After re-reading I now realise that pun was the wurst.

We have to see how the first set of classics perform to see if its financially viable to do more. Plus get a Switch 2 DevKit. But it would be great to bring some more mouse based games to Switch 2.
