Owlboy sold over 5000 copies last month on Nintendo Switch, in a very rare comeback 🤯

We're celebrating 9 years since the game's launch next month - and Otus is still carrying us strong after all these years. Thanks for supporting us everyone 🦉❤️

Not trying to reinvent the wheel here but do people like:
"Long short cuts" of the whole playthrough of a game with lots of highlights
"Shorter episodic" series with a weekly drop like every Monday a new episode comes out

Comment #1 or #2 down below, no questions asked

Rook Rules @streamer.rookrules.com · 10d

Had such a good time playing #DeclinesDrop and getting to add it to my #Gamedex

Action platforming, story, slick combat! This was one of my favorites last year when I played it #RookRules #IndieGames
