I love the hyperspace jump. Great art and nice feel to it. Got all the core elements to be expanded on.
Yeah the hyper jump came out great! I definitely want to expand of these ideas!
A really satisfying experience! Like a delicious little video game hors d'oeuvre, a tiny sample of a really fun concept. Well done!
Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you liked this little sample!
