To help promote the just completed Steam ShmupFest,
I created a video showcasing "Bones:Outside" gameplay.
Perhaps it will change your life.

Matheus Viana created this TikTok about Endlight.
It's snappy, fast paced, and in Portuguese.
Hopefully he liked it because it's got 15,000+ views.

Over on Twitch, the incredibly named "BuzzyNutkins"
truly loved the menu narration.

On Reddit, I continue to post detailed sales data
Short story short: Endlight is selling like the opposite of hotcakes.
Remember: If we wanted sales we'd buy the game!

PC Gamer wrote this incredible review.
Several secrets may be revealed.
Andy Chalk may be the only person that truly understands Endlight,
and we're very grateful he took the time to write this.
May he be rewarded with all the views.

Addy Lovestar posted a truly subversive analysis
It cuts deep, and is a completely unexpected take.
It's worth more than the minute and a half it requires.

"Few have bought, less have finished."
According to my stats, you have not bought Endlight.
You should, it's good for you.
If you have bought Endlight, you haven't finished it.
You should, you paid for it.
Read my recent Reddit Post.
I'm risking karma.

This intensely weird indie game can only be replayed once a year, and only if you beat a once-a-year challenge




Endlight comes as close to an embodiment of pure chaos as any game I've ever played. It's a simple concept and very simple to play—navigate freely through twisting, shifting, and bizarre 3D landscapes to find and collect golden hoops—but I found the violent onslaught of lights and noise that envelops the action to be very off-putting at first. The deeper I dug into Endlight, though, the more I found it to be a remarkably engaging, surprising, and unexpectedly funny game—and one that I will (probably) never be able to play again...

Endlight is finally RELEASED!

Lock up Grandma because today is the DAY.
Endlight is FINALLY RELEASED!
You knew it would happen and it did.
I've literally played Endlight 10,000 times,
so I have the credentials to say "ENDLIGHT"

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]"Endlight is THE most visually stimulating game I have ever played ...
and I've played some fucking visually stimulating games"
"it gets absurd VERY fast, in about 2 milliseconds you go from ...
oooo pretty lights to ... (footage of a computer exploding)"
"satisfying is something this game does at its core ... really well"


[h3]Review: ZeroFrameGaming[/h3]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]Perhaps the only review that mentions Endlight is funny.
Endlight also features the worst story in videogame history but I digress.
They highlight some of my game design tweets so you'll learn thangs.
They were surprised Endlight was in development for so long which is great!
Oh wait... that's great, right? Right?! Grandma!!!




[h3]HIDDEN FACT[/h3]
Endlight's default settings have Chaos and Graphics turned down for the normals.
But that's not you.

You ...
You're absurd.
You're an avocado in a bowl full of raisins.
You're the reason I get out of bed every morning and pretend I slept.

Switch "Chaos" to "Exciting" and "Graphics" to "Great",
your eyeballs will both thank you.


[h3]NOT HIDDEN FACT[/h3]
We will be releasing FREE SEASONS (25 levels each)
on the first of EVERY MONTH for a YEAR.
That's a lotta levels, but it's better than installing drywall.




[h3]MEANWHILE ON REDDIT[/h3]
I spill the beans on Endlight sales and plans.
Read it before it reads you.
Our game will FAIL at launch (tomorrow), but be SUCCESSFUL later
