Amidst the hype for our new game, we'd like to remind you to "Just make it exist first. You can make it good later."

We're less than 24 hours away from the worldwide premiere of our new game in the Indie Live Expo showcase! The second image is a sneak peak of what's to come!

We're taking the spotlight this weekend! This Saturday, 25th April, tune into the Indie Live Expo to watch our new game’s worldwide premiere!

Emails mean nothing when you were competitively churning butter only a few days ago 🧈

It was an incredible experience. Thanks for the memories 🫶

Come play a brand new build of Upupa Bird Ninja while also hanging out with a flock of local indie devs 🦜

See you this weekend Playtopia!
