Two new modes are coming

We're about to ship a free update that opens the door to two new game modes:

  • COLOR brings full color to the ASCII grid and lets you generate images with variable character density. The smaller the characters, the higher the resolution of the scene you're scanning. Same hunt, much sharper picture.

  • Kanji swaps the Latin character set for Japanese kanji and ships with color too. A completely different visual language to lose yourself in, with a new rhythm of recognition.

The numbers so far

It's been less than two weeks since release and we keep refreshing the dashboard just to make sure it's real:

10,649 downloads

For a tiny indie studio shipping a free experiment, this is more than we hoped for. Way more.

Thank you

The reviews. We read every single one. The kind words, the screenshots of the cats you found first, the requests for new character sets, the suggestions for color. All of it shaped what's about to ship.

So thank you. Truly. This update exists because of you, and we can't wait to see what you do with it.

More soon.
