11 years ago today, our animator @callenwagner.bsky.social suited up as A-TAK from #GALAK-Z at PSX 2014. I asked for fun memories. 🥪 They had bomb catering 🐼 I got to hang out in a mascot room with other mascots 🤸‍♂️ Tight outfits are only comfy for the first 15 mins! #gamedev #gaming

I had a ton of fun playing this when it came out, it is totally worth the price (and more)! And there’s the bonus of Mike Sinterniklaas providing the voice of our brave pilot!

A-Tak needs to save the universe in GALAK-Z! If you haven’t had the chance to check out our physics-driven space shooter, grab it now for less than a Venti latte! bit.ly/4ku3Qyt #gaming #SummerGameFest2025

Great piece interviewing @jkooza.bsky.social over on @pcgamer.com! "There's a lot of blocking, a lot of parrying and deflecting, so when you do get a hit in, you've earned it and it feels great. This is the stuff that really excites me in combat: there's a very high skill ceiling." #indiegames

Our #Switch2 units are on the way to the office. Getting these were no easy feat, but we are very excited to start exploring Mario Kart World when they arrive. Who picked one up? What do you think so far?
