This, but also about publishing.

As if you needed even more of an incentive to pick up one of these beauties - it runs Slay The Spire 2 perfectly via Gamehub Lite.

Three screenshots of Steam demo reviews that read:


POSTED: 28 FEBRUARY
So charming. The music, the story, the spell casting. Literally everything pulled me in and I cant
wait for it to come out

POSTED: 2 MARCH
I loved this demo! This is what I call a game full of personality and style. The artistic aspect, the
animations, the color palette, all combined give me the feeling of finding that hidden gem in the
PS2 catalog.

Very cool game. I can see myself having a lot of fun when the full game releases.
I really enjoyed the humour in the game too, right up my street.
The overall vibe and aesthetic is incredibly charming. Brings me back to the good old days on
ps2 when innovation and passion in games were at their peak, which definitely seems to hold
true for this game too.

Thank you to everyone who's played the Rhell demo during Next Fest and left such lovely reviews! They're a joy to read and have got us extra hyped for the full launch NEXT WEEK! πŸͺ„πŸ€©

Yeah you're right, that could probably be a little clearer/cleaner.

Competition is hotting up over on the Dart Vader high score table.

Think you can do better than RUA? Then put your money (initials) where your mouth (high score entry) is.

I think the instructions screen may be borked on some phones - I'll look at it later. Sorry to anyone inconvenienced!

Bit nervous putting this out there, but here's a little game I've been working on with Codex.

Destroy invaders using the POWER OF DARTS - introducing 'Dart Vader'. Works best on mobile.

That's probably the best in the world, but it's not my job to check.
