Recently I found out that some random site reuploaded my game, which you can play right there. I have nothing to do with it. How fun!
The fact that the game was posted on web doesn't mean you can upload it anywhere. There's a ton of random itch io games on this site and it's equally as yucky.

Concept art of The Boss.
Fun fact: I couldn't properly implement his attacks back when I started, so his behavior was completely different.

The first look at "Sputnitsa Dress Up" :D
Really bare bones for now, but it works perfectly as intended.
I wanted to make a dress up game for a long time. Why? Nostalgic, I guess. And making small finished games is good practice.

A drawing of Sputnitsa (non-canon humanization of Sputnik) for a new small project I'm working on. More details about it later!
(This project won't affect the development of the main game. Just a small distraction to prevent burning out).

Finished fluff and performance optimization!
- Fluff! It can be used to attack enemies (didn't put it on the levels properly yet).
- Recolored sprites for trees and sticks for consistency.

Concepts of the levels in the second world.
They're pretty recognizable even in this state.
Some unnecessary elements like the lever with hidden platforms were removed to not overcomplicate the level designs.
