Gotta hold back and add those final touches of polish so you all get the best demo possible of Astro Burn on Steam tommorow at 3pm UK time.

One device that I love playing with during breakfast time is @play.date The crank mechanic is such a clever, tactile feature: a unique physical twist that sparks all kinds of gameplay ideas
I’m even toying with the idea of creating a 1-bit version of Astro Burn for it… imagine that! #gamedev

😺 Happy Meow-nday, everyone!

Just got the purr-fect news from Steam — the Astro Burn demo build has been approved and will officially be part of Steam Next Fest this October!

I’m a mix of claw-biting nervous and fur-real excited… but mostly excited!
