Thanks Roy. Its been a blast to work on so far. There is so much we haven’t shown in MouseWork.
The wackiness gets ramped way up to 11.

UFOSoft Must Die! The crossover of my dreams! I'm no good at pixel art so please accept these drawings.

Conversation over an LX III computer.
Austin: "Lost Cyber Owls again. %*@#ing antarctic level."
Justin: "has ufo soft ever made a good game rofl"
Justin: "more like ufo SUCK"

Austin on floor 1. There are quibble enemies walking on platforms above him.

Austin on floor 19, surrounded by blue oppies, Barbuta knights, and cavemen throwing bones. A whiteboard in the background reads "Game ideas: Something starting with V"

Austin and Justin on floor 54. There are red and blue ant enemies, as well as fly enemies. Two ants have gotten into a fight above them.

I spent longer drawing these than I did to cherry Rock On! Island. That was about 15 hours btw

Austin and Justin on floor 65. Austin is shooting at a golf ball, and Justin is running from a hockey player.

Austin on floor 82, shooting at a killer with a cleaver. Justin is dead. A whiteboard in the background reads "PLAY FOREVER".

Austin and Justin on floor 90. The Campanella UFO hangs above them. Isabell is calling in, saying "Intruders! Look alive, Pilot!"

Austin and Justin fighting the Campanella. The Star Wasp ships are now protecting it. The yellow ship pilot is calling in, saying "Someone call for backup?"
