I'm currently in talks with the printer to get these bad boys made.
I even squeezed in a little Easter egg for my Series One homies.

Pixel Pup is done! Just one last pass to make sure all the t's are dotted and the i's are crossed, then it will head to the printer.
Unless something cataclysmic happens, the March release date seems all but certain.

The journey begins! You might think of this alternate history a bit like an inverted castle to @jparish.bsky.social's Metroidvania Works.

In Odama, you can connect the DK Bongos and use them to send out more troops. You can even do this during points in the game when you're not supposed to be able to send out more troops. The game was originally developed with the Bongos in mind, but was swapped to the mic during development.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Woohoo, good to see some beta testers got their cards and got them working. Thanks for the compliments!
Most beta testers are still waiting for their cards due to technical difficulties. I am hoping to hear more on a solution to that problem this week, stay tuned.

Got to be one of the beta testers for @retrodotcards.com's upcoming release "pixel pup"! Just finished the puzzles and got to enjoy this nice little thank you! The game is really well done, and separating the engine and the puzzles to separate cards is very clever!
