BostonFIG was a blast again! Thanks to everyone that came out and tried to beat our first boss fight in Cappy and Tappy. The best time was 2:13 which was crazy! It was so cool to see teams work together to take down the statue.

The first pancake crew posing with our booth. Half the booth is showing Cappy and Tappy, a block stacking video game starring Cappy the Cappybara and Tappy the Tapir. We also have a table with thieves of the tome.

Oliver talks about difficulty in our #indiegame in this video! I think the Celeste approach of "modifiers" is great and creates a much wider range of accessibility and challenge. He has been cooking with this feature in the last weeks! #gamedev
