We're still experimenting with what sorts of videos we like to make. If we started doing some non-Prickles gaming content, what sort of games would you like to see us play?

Good luck to this guy. I'm not that brave, if Prickles gets 40 more wishlists by the end of the week I'll do 5 pushups.

A gentle reminder to water your potted humans, especially if you're a forgetful cactus. And to wishlist Prickles on steam store.steampowered.com/app/4038920/... #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #plantcare

We've heard your feedback! The Potted Human system needed an overhaul anyway. So we're replacing the entire system with a new fighting game mode! We're having some trouble figuring out the movement tech since they're all in pots, but these are minor details. #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev
