[h3]Fix Gaming Channel Indie Game Awards 2025[/h3][p]


THE KULKA was honored with the Best Sound & Music award at the Fix Gaming Channel Indie Game Awards 2025.

This recognition comes from the Fix Gaming Channel community and editorial team as part of their annual Indie Game Awards.

As a one-person studio, I’m especially grateful to see the game’s sound and music noticed and appreciated outside of development.

Thank you to everyone who has played, listened, and shared feedback so far — it truly means a lot.
