Ollie and the Merchant of Dreams was inspired by the father of all metroidvanias: Wonderboy in Monster World. 💛 You can already play it 9n steam and it will be on sale in about 2 weeks.

#GameDevs spend months polishing updates long after launch, yet some #indiegames still end up as hidden gems. If you’ve been enjoying a #videogame, consider leaving a quick review so others can discover it. It genuinely helps more than you’d think.

@levelupleo.bsky.social covered the demo for Ollie and the Merchant of Dreams. My deepest thanks for giving this a try. The game ran a bit slow on his machine, but performance is much better when using the dedicated GPU instead of integrated graphics on gaming laptops. youtu.be/UDKN5ynJBIo?...
