This #screenshotsaturday, I have some news: I'm porting Peng Wars to #GodotEngine!

The new version is still early in development, but it'll be easier for me to improve the UI — and, in future, port Peng Wars to mobile and other platforms.

A blast from the past!

A few years back Lasso Games entered Levantera Arena to GMS2 Jam and received an honorable mention! You can find it over at lassogames.itch.io/levantera-ar...
Screenshot from Lassogames.itch.io of a pixal art arcade cabnet titled "levantera Arena" with the words "Can you escape the Ciudad del Viento Arena?! Enter the universe of Levantera: Tale of the Winds and fight your way out of the arena! Control The Captain as you beat the bad guys, find powerups, and escape the arena by sea. More information" on the right side of the screen is several screenshots of the game in an arcade style dungeon fighter style.
