This is my first time putting a game on Steam, I'm so excited! Check it out!

A grid covered in flames, with several stick figures maniacally spreading fire. Some other stick figures hold their hands in the air, crying. A grid filled with various stick figures holding guns. UI indicators are visible such as a small red arrow pointing from one character to an exclamation mark, perhaps indicating some effect will happen. A group of stick figures with knives, guns, and muscle, gang up, attacking a boss on the right side of the screen. A group of green stick figures wearing rasta hats and holding blunts in each hand congregate in the middle of a grid. Clouds of acid green smoke persist on the tiles around them.

sneakerheads, what shoes should I reference in the blank spaces here for my game?
A spreadsheet showing Old Sneakers, Common, 5% faster on the first row, then the next 3 rows missing the name column being empty, with the rarity and speed increasing up to Rare, Epic, Legendary, and 10%, 20%, 40% respectively

Working on adding sound to the units I have and it certainly makes the game feel more "alive"

Do you know any obscure musical instruments? The nail violin is one of them. This guy made his own and it sounds much better than expected. Its specific sound could be used more often. Thanks @aarlon.bsky.social for sharing this.

Spent a day porting my game to Unity 2017 cuz I liked the idea of making a 3DS port only to realize it was a terrible idea for like a dozen different reasons 😩
