Keep up the cool work! You, Fabraz, and many other indie 3D platformer devs are pushing the genre forward / keeping it relevant. 👍

Just been thinking we’re living a golden revival of 3D platformers, and that kinda motivates me to do my best to make something great, but also makes me worry. Am I doing well enough? Is my work interesting enough to walk among the other fantastic games?

I’ll keep trying to cook 🔥

3D platformers are up your wheelhouse. A musical platformer is an intriguing direction to take things. 👍
