Did you know? Stretchmancer started as a free game jam prototype!

To celebrate our publishing announcement, we just updated that prototype with some QOL fixes and a new SPEEDRUN TIMER πŸ”₯

Making games is the ultimate video game. But that aside:

- Rivals has been a good brainless online bash with friends
- 30 hours in Liftoff taught me to pilot acrobatic drones in RL (without too many crashes!)
- You should check out Stretchmancer, I've heard it's real good

UFO50’s Camouflage was good. I reckon a zeldafied Elechead could be magic. The zone-based genre 😁
