So many emails asking for keys. It looks like the scam is to pick a real streamer and post their official links for proof. Then they use a plausible looking email to ask for the keys.
Sorry if there were any legit requests mixed in. Too many to vet, and I need to work on the actual game.

Coming in the next update. I figured a flat pier would be tedious to walk across.

This is fascinating and I think a thing all indie game devs should think about.
I know a lot of people aim for the middle and aim for the mainstream, but I personally don't think that's the right thing to do.

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.
I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

The twins now have line-of-sight and geometry awareness, and can hide from the player and peek out from holes, using correct angles. They'll also wait for cover fire from their teammate before running across an open space.

I just added keyboard and mouse support. Plus basic remapping and camera sensitivity. I may have slightly broken the menu camera(it's too slow now), but I'll fix that tomorrow.

A few people have ignored my warnings and bought the game already. I appreciate you all.
Adding keyboard and mouse support next. Still don't recommend it, but it seems necessary.

It is not in fact a mobile game.
It's barely a game.

I should have an update out tonight. Polishing up one of my favourite features.

The Early Access is launching in a few days. It's not even close to ready, but it's the best I could do with the time I had. I made a promise to release it before the end of the year so I can't delay.
I'm still working feverishly, but I don't recommend buying the game until maybe mid January.

Your reviews are so so important to indie games. 500 reviews may not seem like a lot, but to the vast majority of indies it's a ton.
Your reviews largely make or break discoverability for a game.

Taking some time today to look through all the Steam games I like by small scrappy indies (especially ones who are my friends!) and making sure to leave a review for anyone who isn't already Overwhelmingly Positive (which requires 500+ reviews with 95%+ positive)
I recommend you do the same!

Looks like something I'd put in my game. Just needs some random pipes.
