Our Kickstarter for Toroa: Skycall is LIVE and we are SHOCKED to be sitting at 60% funded after only 48 HOURS 😱

Any contribution whether it's $2, sharing with your friends, or liking our posts means so much to us and any amount of generosity is so appreciated. Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far

A NEW demo is LIVE for you all to play! We really wanted to make this new demo the best it could be before putting it live and we are super proud of this one 🥹 there are VERY minor polish things that we will get to fixing on Monday (NZT), but we are making sure we take the weekend to rest and enjoy as its been a very busy week and work-life balance is super important to us.

If you are playing the demo with a mouse, there is a chance you can get stuck in the interact range of a dolphin who will keep trying to talk to you even if you can't see them (lol). If this happens to you, we recommend paddling far enough away from them and then trying to take-off. This will hopefully be fixed by next week!
