On December 20th of last year, I decided to make a silly little game as a less-cynical response to some recent gacha games I'd played (particularly, one about cards).

After 287 days, we're only 10 days away from the demo release date!

For the full release, the Ultimate Soulblades will have unique (but similar) sprites to their base-counterparts.

Also improved the Calamity Soulblade effect!!

Got arbitrary-count support added for the Pick-a-Crinchure screen! Thought about adding a mask but I kinda like them jumping out of the frame! #IndieDev #IndieGames #GameDev #CrinchureCollector
