Do you know you can rate games on itch?

It would support me a lot if you would take a second to rate the demo of my game Self Simulated: 2ndlawgames.itch.io/selfsimulated

The biggest project of my life is now released 🥳

Buck and the Cursed Cartridge is an action platformer. Lots of levels spanning different worlds, explorable overworlds, upgradable abilities, unlockable mini games and more.

Hope you'll check it out 🧡

Die Ausbeute der Monate September/Oktober hat mal wieder gezeigt, dass die GAME BOY Homebrew-Szene lebendiger ist als je zuvor. Wer rettet mich vor diesem Output? 😅

I've pushed a new update (v1.2) for Self Simulated!

Again: if you can't update: you'll not miss out on anything important! There was just a small bug fix in speedrun mode + dying in one specific level.

IF you update, note that your current save file will NOT be compatible!

I think most PC gamers don't know this, but wishlisting games on Steam actually directly helps developers!

After a certain point, more wishlists on a game means it gets recommended more on the Steam store, so basically wishlists have a snowball effect.

So wishlist as much as you can!
