Last weekend we had a chance to participate in the Comic Con Baltics 2024 and showcase our upcoming puzzle-platformer - Halve!

It was an astonishing experience to meet so many passionate players of all ages! ๐Ÿ˜Š
Everyone who came to our booth completely exceeded our expectations - we prepared a couple of longer levels just in case a few visitors wanted to play for longer... But what we got was way beyond that! Almost everyone who liked the game in one way or another spent up to an hour playing through the levels, which was mindblowing!

We are so grateful to everyone for giving us loads of feedback and liking the game so much! โค๏ธ

If you are reading this and were in our booth during the event - Thank you so much! You gave us even more motivation to try to make the game an unforgettable experience!

Last weekend we have participated in the Global Game Jam 2023 game development marathon!
The announced theme for this year was Root, and together with the team of Exer Gale, we managed to make a game of territory defense - Rooted Warden - in less than 48 hours!

Green is the color of HOPE. It shines through the dark, elevating the soul. But a black, ominous presence crawls from the corners to strangle the hope with EVIL ROOTS. But thereโ€™s you, the WARDEN. You answered the call to defend the LIGHT. โ€œRooted Wardenโ€ is a dark and moody game of territory defense. Control the hero in a dungeon setting. Brawl with ever-expanding roots of darkness. Save hope. Die trying. Now come and entangle yourself in a curse.

A few days ago we have participated in our first ever Game Developers conference - DevGAMM 2022!

Our only expectation was to see what other developers think of our upcoming game Halve - and it was amazing! Our booth was constantly packed with people, who gave us a lot of useful feedback and insights. Best of all, almost everyone who played the game liked it so much, that they were not able to stop playing!

We have also made many business connections with potential future partners. And you know what? We even had an opportunity to pitch the game to different publishers and investors - the juries even evaluated the pitch as the best one in the session!

Thank you so much team for organizing such an amazing event! We will be sure to come back in the following years!

During the last weekend of January, we had the opportunity to participate in a 48-hour game development marathon - Global Game Jam 2022! ๐ŸŽฎ

The theme for this jam was Duality, so we got an idea to develop a game, where the player has to simultaneously control two mirrored characters to reach the end goal.

And, oh man, it was such an awesome experience participating in the event. In such a short time we have managed to create a gorgeous-looking atmospheric puzzle-platformer game - Duo! ๐Ÿ˜

Do you know what's the best part? The game was nominated as one of the best games that were made during the event! ๐Ÿ†

Take a look at the gameplay trailer down below!
