This game is the culmination of 3 friends who wanted to make a video game but didn't have a remote idea as to where to start. Half-way through development, we hosted a panel at the 2017 RetroGameCon in Syracuse, NY. We told the crowd we'd release this game on Steam when it was ready. We're following through on that promise!
