Quentin is a tough guy, but every now and again trouble is going to catch up with him.
Don't worry though, he can take it. He'll be back on his feet in no time.

Introducing Kelly!
Leader of the vigilantes, what she lacks in size or strength, she makes up for in speed, agility and sheer willpower.
She's into aerobics, kickboxing, and fighting for those who can't fight for themselves.

Just got an updated clam shell mockup with latest cover from @jiggeh.bsky.social for Heavy Recoil! \o/

Manufacturing costs are very roller-coastery at the moment, though...

Unnamed new game. Vertical shmup, maybe 256x224 res.

KS:
Added demo cartridge add-on, that two of you asked for.
Also added a cartridge-only option, seems to be more popular now than in 2018. :)

Game:
Think I did my first vertical tile scrolling background ever. Only done the horizontal one before.
