Recently released this game, Cubey vs. the Universe, on itch.io. It’s a puzzle game where you roll a cube person and need to match the faces of the cube to move. It’s an improved version of an old game I … Continue reading
Yet another thing for Fungus
Okay, now I made something that modifies the Fungus Say Dialog to work more like it’s a text messaging system, where it shows a series of bubbles of what characters have said, instead of just the most recent Say. You … Continue reading

Mahogany Frogger
