We haven't posted any new updates in a while, but don't worry, we're still working on the game! We will have another big gameplay update coming relatively soon. To hold you over in the meantime, here's two mockups of one of the game's first areas!

Another bit of progress, getting poisoned and all animations accompanying that are implemented again. As well as different portraits and health icons to match! Little touches we hope will give more charm to the UI.

With a new art style and a more skilled team, we were finally able to finally make the menus according to the first concept behind them - now Plink displays every option, not just the move icons! A diegetic touch to tie UI and the game world a little.

In between us adding and re-implementing other animations and features, we finished both characters' item use animations.

Now they can throw them to each other, just like before, and also have a new animation for drinking stuff!

We’re teaming up with @NEOWIZ_QUEST to support developers with a narrative game jam! 🤯 The jam kicks off on October 31 in the Game Dev community, so start brainstorming and assemble your team.

Tara's Jump counterattack has been re-implemented as well, now with completely new animations! In the old beta, we just reused the overworld jump sprites, but I wanted to go the extra mile, and I think it looks way more satisfying this way!

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Another part of the battle system is finished - finally, all the death & revive animations are completed! This time, instead of a generic crystal, a special rejuvenating balm is the item needed to wake your friend back up.

72h Until… Hoomanz! drops! October 27th, 2025.

Ready to scare some Hoomanz and save Planet Erf? 🌍

The demo’s already waiting...

With the overworld's base mechanics close to being fully implemented, we're going back and finally progressing the battle system again! Here's a look at some new animations, new UI, and new.. well, everything! (BG is a placeholder though) [🔊Sound on!]
