Gorgeous cutscenes, shockingly dark lore, creative mechanics and countless upgrades all make GIGASWORD worth the 🏰climb.

@studiohybrid.bsky.social didn't just throw a few bits of technical knowledge and then fluffed off.
He got into how to build resilience as a #SoloDev.
How to get over the days when everything is falling apart.

Also, the game is now 20% off during the Winter Sale! This is probably the cheapest the game will be for a while, so don't miss out!

Thank you so much to everyone who's played so far. You're helping to make my dream a reality.

Don't sleep on @studiohybrid.bsky.social's Gigasword. It's a ton of fun. Most I've enjoyed a Metroidvania in years.

And check out that mega 🍆!

😏 Oh, shit. He's hot. Gross. Oh no is right.

Just rolled credits on GIGASWORD by @studiohybrid.bsky.social.
It's easily one of the best metroidvanias I've played in a long time, and reminds me of the games I used to play as a kid while still providing a good challenge and a fresh, ambitious experience.

I can't wait to see what comes next!

I'm thrilled to hear that! I think you have created some amazing systems and mechanics in GIGASWORD.

I also talked about it on our podcast, around the 37-minute mark: youtu.be/Wwkig9LtP1Q?...

I hope more people find it as it continues to improve!
