I kickstarted this game so long ago I can't even remember lol

Looks like fun!
I backed the kickstarter a long time ago, glad it's getting released this year
Highlight of the show so far for me. I can’t wait to dive in to this one.
Yay! I hope switch bros get to play it too
This looked amazing, can't wait.
Nice, will download the demo later this night 😃
Cautiously optimistic about this one.
@marktehshark69 yeah it's s just the kind of game that screams handheld for me, but I'd have absolutely no problem playing it on the PS5
Janey how did I miss this! Glad to see Mina getting a release date!
