Is it #PitchYaGame or #PigYaGame?

Pixel Washer offers:

🐷 A cute piggy with goggles
🎨 Lovely #pixelart
😱 Mesmerizing gameplay to help forget the horrors
🍑 Single-pixel buttholes

If that sounds alright to you add it to your Steam washlist:

How would it be possible to ship a full game in just a month or two??

Interested to hear your thoughts. Here are some of mine:

🚀 Can you ship a full game in just a few months?
What would it take to ship a game in just 1-3 months of development? Is it even possible??
