Hello, it's BOON! It brings me great joy to share the biggest update we've ever done for Wally.
I made you a special video, and it would mean a lot to me if you could see it as I'll be able to explain myself better on what problems I've been tackling in Wally these past few months and what we added to help make the greatest rogue-lite ever.
