Itching to smash that release button... but nope! 😸
Gotta hold back and add those final touches of polish so you all get the best demo possible of Astro Burn on Steam tommorow at 3pm UK time.
Can’t wait for you to get your paws on this vertical slice.

One device that I love playing with during breakfast time is @play.date The crank mechanic is such a clever, tactile feature: a unique physical twist that sparks all kinds of gameplay ideas
I’m even toying with the idea of creating a 1-bit version of Astro Burn for it… imagine that! #gamedev
