Since updates have been a bit slow... Here is a little preview of what you can expect if you make it far enough...

Future Plans

As for the full game, the final release is not far off. I can't announce exactly when yet but it will be soon!

If you would like to keep up with all updates and future news regarding the release, follow the game on steam, wishlist, and join the Discord!

There you can learn how I somehow spent 30+ hours straight on positioning background rock sprites.

Thanks everyone and I hope you enjoy the playtest!
