Too many games to play 😔 not enough time 🙏
Playing Hades 2 as my handheld game. Playing Ghost of Yotei and my console game. And now I picked up Dune Awakening. 😩 I love all of them. Plus I still wanna play FF Tactics, and then Kirby Air Riders next month 🥴 oh and eventually get back to Silksong

Thanks! As does yours! Best of luck for your launch week 🚀

Congrats! How did you settle on the price? I also just made a mini-metroidvania that can be played in 1 sitting. I was torn on what to charge, but I think I made the right call.

Yeah I can agree with that. Hey thanks!! ☺️ 🤗

So sick! 😮 it’s too bad they’re not doing the spoilercast. I’m hella engrossed in Yotei’s story.

Prototype Juan 🙈 if you like precision platformers and dual art styles, all wrapped up in mini-metroidvania style level designs.

Hyped 🙌 Day 1 for me and the fam

You ever try a Twinkie Weiner Sandwich? 😂 (From Weird Al’s UHF)

This looks great! Glad this came across my feed.

Not yet but I probably should be lol. One day. For my next project I will be for sure. Gonna need some playtesters 😅

That was the Live YouTube chat during the livestream

I owe so much of Prototype Juan’s success to Kinda Funny and its incredible community. As a longtime fan, it’s hard to put into words how much this means to me. My wife and I are still blown away by the love and support — we’ll never forget this ❤️

Thanks so much for the insight and warning haha. I appreciate the kindness 🙏

Whoa! Didn't realize getting those first 10 reviews were THAT impactful 😮 I'm curious how that will look for me tomorrow 😅

I'm beyond excited that my game has reached 10 Positive Steam Reviews! Now it officially says "Positive" at the top of the page!!😭 🥳 Feels good to know people actually like my game 🥹 ❤️

If you're one of the positive reviews, thank you so much! 🙏

🤣

“Comparison is the thief of joy” — I had the same exact feelings you had too. I use it as a motivator for my future projects. Can’t get really good without being bad first.

Day 13 of marketing my #indiegame — I’m losing my mind 🧠

Now that Prototype Juan is complete and released 🙏 I can finally dedicate more time to Ghost of Yotei. I’m really enjoying this game a lot. Feels like the best parts of RDR2 and Zelda BOTW combined into an amazing experience. Nothing feels wasted here.

My little action-platformer, mini-metroidvania, "Prototype Juan", is *totally* like 'Ghost of Tsushima' and 'Spider-Man 2' haha 😅 Thanks, @steampowered.com

Save 20% on Prototype Juan: A Tale of Two Mundos on Steam Juan's been banished to the prototype version of his game! He’s gone from a colorful 16-bit hero to a tiny 1-bit homie. Help him platform his way back in this narrative action-platformer—with Juan him...

Wow thanks! Enjoy: store.steampowered.com/app/3629490/...

My little #indiegame is definitely feeling the love from the #KindaFunny community. "The KF Bump"
