My favorite part of Star Wars Phantom Menace is that it gives context to the Weird Al song

But not all pixel art is retro

Tired of seeing pixel art games described as having a retro aesthetic when they are just using pixel style

Korra haters have convinced themselves that Korra is both a flawless Mary Sue and also a way too flawed depending on which day it is

nothing says "Murican 2000s Gamer Ad" like this skater-punk call to action trying to overpower the actual game's beautiful watercolor flowers and butterflies

We've submitted Quartet to lotcheck for approval on the Nintendo Switch. Playstation will be submitted shortly. Plan is to launch both at the same time.

Wish us luck!

Signs of the Sojourner is such a beautiful game, all the way to its core. I can't listen to the soundtrack without getting The Feelings. It's such a thoughtful, heartfelt experience.
