🚀 LIFTOFF!
Paper Apps™ GALAXY is live on Kickstarter. This game is the spiritual successor to DUNGEON, and I've tried to improve on the formula in as many ways as I can.
Back the project if it looks interesting! (RTs & 💙s help too)

I've been wanting to be fluent in Morse Code for years, so getting a chance to integrate that learning into the Playdate experience gives me hope I can become proficient.
One thing that's really lovely about the @playdate version of MORSE is the origins go all the way back to
a 2019 mock-up for the platform! So nice to finally get to realise the concept 5 years on.

I am working on Tampopo - a heartfelt Earthbound-like JRPG adventure with unique physics based combat. I want to bring it to every platform I can whenever it is done. This project means everything to me, it represents who I am as an artist and I can't wait to have you play it.
