Beacon Patrol News

[h3]Ahoy Sailors![/h3][p][/p][p]The Steam Awards have officially begun, and we’d be incredibly thankful if you considered nominating Beacon Patrol this year![/p][p]We think the “Better With Friends Award” fits our cozy coastal co-op vibes best. But of course, feel free to choose whichever category you feel suits the game.[/p][p]We’re also so grateful for all your support since launch. And honestly? We’d be absolutely over the moon if we could hit 100 reviews during the Steam Award season. Every single one means a lot to us. 💙[/p][p]Also, if you’re still working on your Steam Awards Badge tasks, it would mean the world to us if you left a review or updated your existing one. Every bit of feedback helps steer our tiny ship and shapes our journey deeper into the horizon.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you so much for sailing with us.
