THIS IS THE GAME I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR 13 YEARS! 😎
Cadence is out now!
Make music by solving circuits. It took 13 years to figure how to do this well!
Beyond the puzzles:
🐈⬛ Pet Ren, the cat!
📜 Enjoy Ren's life philosophy (all text is skippable)
🎹 Use the sandbox to make music
🧮 Or explore turing complete contraptions

Once you’ve finished binging Stranger Things, why not use the holiday break to learn game AI programming? 😎
If you’re up for the challenge, I made a 20+ hour course covering everything from theory to practice! 🧑💻
(Oh, and there’s a cheeky 50% discount in the next tweet! 🎁👇)

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf
