'Turnip Mountain turns an awkward dual-stick climbing idea into a wonderfully rewarding physics platformer packed with clever obstacles and plenty of charm.' Turnip Mountain is the 4th best reviewed ROG Ally X compatible game this year, according to DuuroPlays! #gamedev #indiedev

Playing this and it not only has great music and visuals, but it's full of fun tech and great level design! I think this game has all the makings of a hit. It's an instant classic that I really want to see succeed! (It's also short and sweet, and I know you're a busy adult who needs short games)
