Loved that game! I played it a bunch when it first came out. Was there any updates?

Ohhhhh man - the amount of time I've spent on Reddit is so unhealthy. I have nothing else to do while trapped under a baby - I scroll it all day! Several years ago I removed all other social media (including Bluesky) from my phone. I thought that this was good for my mental health. It was not :(

I loved that game. Already put ~20 hours into it across different platforms. :D

I need more games to play: - I have ~45 minutes free every 2.5 hours. I need something with no time pressure that I can easily put down and pick up again. - sick of visual novels, want indie, strategy, or tactics - don't have energy for a large learning curve (ex: 4X games) unless it is fantastic

Gwen made a cute, clever, and really funny puzzle game that makes you smile over and over again. You really want to play this one.

Lab Rat plays well on the Steam deck already, but we didn't qualify for the check b/c certain text was too small. We have an update planned that includes translations for multiple languages, Steam Deck verification (text resizing is needed for both), and key remapping. Should launch in < 8 weeks.

Thanks Adam! Can you do me a favor and leave a Steam review? Early reviews are really helpful :)

Heh, yeah... I know that feeling so well! Every game artist has some game that they spent years on that was canceled pre-announce and they can never share that work. It's a shitty artist-rite-of-passage in this industry. That said, it sounds like this is on track to announce! Can't wait to see it ❤️

You were a pleasure to work with Mimi. I hope you're doing well these days <3

Lab Rat is out! The first game I worked on when I started working full time on game dev, this is sort of a full circle moment. Enjoy some brainy puzzles packaged with top-notch humor, so much care has been put in every single moment I can't wait for you to see.

If we sell well on PC/Xbox then it is an option! That said, there is still a lot of work to do for mobile - especially if we want to support Android devices. I think making sure the Steam Deck experience is perfect and then doing a Switch port would take priority. Those are so much easier.
