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!

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
