Share some love with our friends over at Pentapaw! We got to play their game recently at IGF Cologne and it was a blast. If you like fast-paced, high skill-ceiling good old co-op action, Yarn Guardian is simply unmissable.

2 more days to go! Seems like I messed up and accidentally spoiled this character yesterday. I'm not "the main social media guy". But I also don't have shame so it's fine. Just like Mayor Gutless Goober! #MediaCircusGame #indiedev #indiegame #madewithgodot #godot #handdrawn #journalism #gamedev

In the background a newspaper with the headline that reads "Mayor Accuses Game of Fake News". In the foreground, the phrase "2 days to go" is displayed prominently in yellow letters, and a character from the game, who is a rooster wearing a suite and tie with a concerned look and sweaty feathers.

3 more days and our steam page is live! In our game, you can piss off this bumbling fool of a rooster mayor. You can also choose to piss off his political rival. Or both of them. It's a lot of pissing off. #MediaCircusGame #indiedev #indiegame #madewithgodot #godot #handdrawn #journalism #gamedev
