Extra Coin by @cinicgames.bsky.social

I think the #gamedemo is down now, but, I wished there was a lil more to it so you could get a better idea of the different systems involved. But, I still found this #indiegame and story interesting enough to wishlist!

I sat out most of #steamnextfest, didn't download more than 10 demos or so. Got down to 145 in the backlog.

I just realized the page is still accessible and I defo didn't stay up until 3am browsing and downloading and blowing my backlog back up astronomically....nope, couldn't be me

Pretty excited about this one
