It’s finally here! Pixel Washer, developed by Matt Hackett @richtaur , is out now in Early Access. Pigxel has never been more excited to get everything else clean. The world is a mess, the power washer is ready, and every spray uncovers a little more pixel art. It’s a good day for it. Watch the trailer voiced by the legendary @Tim_Kitzrow Get Pixel Washer on Steam 👉bit.ly/Pixel_Washer_X #indiegame #CozyGames #pixelart #EarlyAccess

We've got something BIG cooking with the music behind HYPERyuki. We're not ready to reveal everything just yet, but what we're putting together deserves to be played LOUD. More news coming in the next few weeks, and trust us, you're going to want to hear this. Are you ready?!

36 years ago today, the Sega Genesis was released. I was 11 years old. It blew me away then - and it still does. In my wildest dreams, I never imagined I'd get to make new games for the Genesis / Mega Drive. 🙏 This is our newest, GO FOR IT! It does what Nintendont! – at Fort Wayne, IN

The X68000’s built-in (internal) sound is already arcade-quality, so it’s excellent on its own—but when you use the external MIDI output, the instrument sound quality is on another level. I’d say a lot of X68000 collectors probably buy the system just to hear that sound.
