SOUND ON! 🔊 Sometimes game development is implementing a dialogue system, and sometimes it's creating a 0.1 second audio clip and looping it hundreds of times to test the dialogue sounds. Boss Gleeble is a fun example of work spanning disciplines! #DARE2025 #DAREacademy #IndieDev #SoundDesign

I tried the game on itch.io and I found it to be really fun. There is a lot of cool gimmicks such as being able to stamp the parcels more than once. Also, in my opinion, the art is very good, the aliens are really well made. Very fun game and would overall recommend. Cant wait for future updates
