Horns Level Up Games

We had the honor of meeting John Romero, the father of DOOM 🔥
Seeing in person the creator of a game that marked our childhood felt surreal ❤️‍🔥
We’re just a two-person indie team, but moments like this remind us why we started making games:
passion and that unstoppable fire inside. Thank you John!

Here's little recap from the Napoli DevFest, an event by Google Developers Group, where we had the chance to talk about our journey as an indie team and give an exclusive sneak peek at some of the new mechanics you’ll see in the upcoming Spirits of Baciu demo — coming in just a few months✨️#indiegame
