Cross Blitz 1.0 is finally out!

We've been working on this for over 6 years. An absolutely exhaustive undertaking. I learned a lot during its development, and I'm a much stronger artist and writer because of it.

I hope its characters and world resonate with people, if even just a little.

Just the character sprites ~

The NES palette is super fun to work with! Limitations breed interesting results!
