Peep this brand new(-ish) October Trailer of Warding Witches. Despite its early prototype state, I'm really proud of how it currently looks and plays already.
Apart from that, very happy to announce that 🗿Headup Games will be publishing the game! On to new heights ✨

Warms my heart to see that people enjoy my silly little project this much

[1/9] The past few days, at Polaris in Hamburg, I was able to replay a indie game, that I discovered at the beginning of the year. Said Game is Warding Witches by @sonorode.com
Warding Witches is a Shoot'em'Up Bullet Hell, which I personally really enjoy.

game genres are so fuzzy and confusing...what's an Action Adventure game?? what do you actually do in an RPG?? to fix this, i got together with loads of my lovely friends to create a much more descriptive classification system. all games can be neatly placed into the New Genres
