I think I've put every bit of my effort I could into this whole game, even though it is not my dream project, nor a project that I was anticapating to reach the stage that is has by now. but I aimed to make a tight, fun, colorful experience!

So, I know this game might look quite unorthodox, and maybe unlike anything you’ve seen before. The structure of the game was born purely from experimentation.

🔥 ◉  Happy May 1st! Its been over a year since starting this project and its development has been in secret. And there is so much to share from here on! I am going to do my best to add more versions and refinements based off feedback.
