Making a game where you get sucked into your own (bad) code

Рік тому

I made a cryptic puzzle game in a week about a developer who gets sucked into their own code!
I was challenged by Logitech to make a game in 7 days and record the process in a Devlog. I LOVE GAME JAMS. I definitely want to do more short videos like this, maybe collaborate with some other indie game dev UKpostsrs, who knows! Really had fun on this one.
I took down my Patreon, for anyone looking for it. I want to have a better upload schedule before I ask for money again :) Thanks for all your support.
