Kirby Air Riders global test beta was fun. My brother and I found a public discord lobby and we had an absolutely blast! Can’t wait for the full release!!! 🙏 😍😍😍😍

I really enjoyed the Kirby Air Riders ⭐️ global test ride over the weekend. As a die hard fan of the original on GameCube, Sakurai still has the sauce. This version feels like an incredible remake, and the vehicles feel soooo good to control. I love being able to swap vehicles on the fly!

I owe so much of Prototype Juan’s success to Kinda Funny and its incredible community. As a longtime fan, it’s hard to put into words how much this means to me. My wife and I are still blown away by the love and support — we’ll never forget this ❤️

Now that Prototype Juan is complete and released 🙏 I can finally dedicate more time to Ghost of Yotei. I’m really enjoying this game a lot. Feels like the best parts of RDR2 and Zelda BOTW combined into an amazing experience. Nothing feels wasted here.

My little action-platformer, mini-metroidvania, "Prototype Juan", is *totally* like 'Ghost of Tsushima' and 'Spider-Man 2' haha 😅 Thanks, @steampowered.com

This Steam review of Prototype Juan legit made me laugh out loud haha 😂 Based off the other reviews, seems people are enjoying the game! If you play it, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I got 6 positive reviews so far! 💪 I'm curious how the weekend sales will go.

Thanks for the shoutout, @gameovergreggy.bsky.social! Been with Kinda Funny since day zero. BEYOND! This memory of us at the Wing Eating Competition a few years ago cemented my fandom. Love you, bro ❤️

I'm kinda shaking... It was an honor to have my *favorite* gaming podcast, KINDA FUNNY, shout-out and show footage of Prototype Juan! 😭 Thank you so much, @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social and also @timgettys.bsky.social + @gameovergreggy.bsky.social + @blessingjr.bsky.social + @snowbikemike.bsky.social

It moved from the 10th spot to the 5th spot. That's a good thing, right? 😯

Ok, this is actually surreal, and I almost don't believe it!! 😅 My little game made Steam's "Popular New Releases" section. "Prototype Juan" looks so cute down there 🥹
Kinda giving Mike Wazowski vibes haha 😅

Feels surreal seeing my solo 🧑‍💻 indie game 👾 run perfectly on Steam Deck. Even the music 🎵 switching back and forth from "dread" to "cute" sounds great 🔊 on this thing! 😅

Juan has tight controls 🎮 which makes for fast-paced 💨 platforming. He's a fluid little guy!
