in our game you parkour up mountains with your friends: you might think we have metrics.

but we never graybox. it's just more fun to download models and prototype in real places, like blood gulch.

I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me!

end of the first day, & we’re 35% funded. we had some generous donations right up front, but even small donations are helpful for funding boshi’s place.

if you’ve got a couple bucks, consider it!

in our game you parkour up uncharted mountains with your friends.

but it began as a game where you jump idly around peach's castle grounds. i think that had to be fun first for parkour of any sort to be possible!

you can place a checkpoint by taking a deep breath (in real life) in our game. that you can then float back to as you spacewalk in a bubble.

(you can also parkour up uncharted mountains with your friends, of course)
