Sometimes you'll need to do more than just click to collect the items in this hidden object game.

It might not look like it at first glance, but a lot has been done under the hood, and I've learned so much this past year and can't wait to continue fleshing everything out!!

A Little Lost has progressed so much over time, with much more to come in the next year!
Spot can give you hints, dash around the environment, and blow stuff up!

Can't wait to give you more worlds and characters to see!

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

I've got back to back events for @littlelostgame.bsky.social and will be very busy but excited for new stuff!

Other members of the crew will still be streaming though so go check them out!!!
