You can play it in your browser

Though I'd recommend getting the desktop ver since the browser version is funky

Frustrated by the fact that nobody's making Elevator Action/Rolling Bird style games I spent the past week+ making a tiny game like this myself, the main bulk of it is done just gotta do some finishing touches & release

Over the years I redid Emily's portraits a few times as they had to be up to par with the rest of the artwork and all, and I recently redid them yet again. This time it should be the actual final art though!

It's summer! (shush, the "it starts on June 20th" crowd)
I decided to start a series of touhous in summer outfits. I won't be drawing all the characters, just the ones I can come up with a good design for. First one is Youmu. The ice cream that she can't eat is next to none!

making steady progress on merpworld. the end is a tangible, achievable distance away if i don't give up. not really sure how to market something so personal.

trying to make peace with this thing receiving more negative reviews than i am used to. art should be repulsive to some people.

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995
