Had the pleasure of playing through Bionic Bay this weekend. A very cool platformer with a remarkable sense of place. Fans of megastructures, this one's for you.

For me I see many landscapes but spacescapes are much more rare, more likely to catch my attention for that reason.
Also I'm a sucker for space ๐Ÿ˜…

Tired of subscription services disguised as videogames?

Are you looking for entertainment made by #gamedevs who choose to put gameplay before monetarization?

Play.

More.

Great games are not always successful.

Successful games are not always great.

Luck is 99% of this industry.

If you hit gold with your game, amazing! Congratulations ๐Ÿฅณ If you don't, try to remember that **YOU MADE A GAME**. You're awesome. Now go make another one ๐Ÿ’œ

Got sick so progress slowed down, but we press on! Here are the first 2 parts of Magi's attack combo!

I could stop here since they transition well into each other, but what's the fun in that?
