UMAMI changes
Hello there munchkins!!
With the MIX Fall Game Showcase and our release just around the corner, we're back with a demo refresh!
ALSO, if you missed it, UMAMI now has a release date: get ready to get your first bite on November 17! Wishlist UMAMI so you'll be ready when the kitchen officially opens on November 17, 2025!!!
And secondly, as UMAMI gets closer to launch, our demo could really use a refresh! Check out what we have been working on:
UMAMI Demo Refresh for MIX Fall Game Showcase!
It’s been a little over three months since the original UMAMI demo launched, and since then we've been hard at work behind the scenes, listening to your feedback, and polishing up the experience. As a new indie studio on the scene, we have learned so much from this experience, and we're hyped and proud to share our updates with you!
With the ongoing MIX Fall Game Showcase and our release date announcement, it was the perfect time to upgrade and update the UMAMI demo! You can now experience the first 2 puzzles of UMAMI with some improved features, accessibility and quality of life additions.
