Just played the demo for this game and it's amazing! I love colorful, cozy simple games like this. And it made me feel very inspired for what I want to do myself now.

If you like games like Kirby, I highly recommend this one

In the latest issue of Debug magazine, they listed the Top 100 games reviewed by the magazine so far, and my game Kudzu made the list!

Congratulations! OMG, I see my game Sofia the Witch right next to Kudzu. This is so cool.

I know for Sofia they wanted to wait until the physical editions had started to ship out. Then I asked about putting the digital up for sale.

I've contacted Bitmap about that. I'm so sorry and embarrassed this is happening. They've told me that the plugin that's causing the problem will be removed.

I made it using GB Studio. It creates Gameboy ROMs that you can flash on to a game cartridge and play it on real hardware. It's super cool.

Amazing! Really nails the classic gameboy look and feel.
