The demo for the first 3D 'Bumpslash-Type' Action Game, Angeline Era... is now out!! Nearly 1,000 people have already experienced Bumping The World. You could be next! Play here now: store.steampowered.com/app/2393920

thinking abt my action-adventure philosophy today..
a good action game should physically feel good, & make you excited to do something w/ your body in the real world,

a good adventure game should be a *finite* escape that leaves you more curious about the real, infinite, world!

ys freaks, hydlikers, even Maplers 🍁 are in luck this week with Angeline Era's demo and the variety of level design styles!

glad everyone's enjoying the demo so far.. how has the bumpslashing been? Did you experience The Bridge?

Really nice coverage of the demo that goes into what it's all about!

Nice day to have a run on the beach

Demo just dropped for Angeline Era! Newest game from the duo behind Anodyne 1/2 and Sephonie.

It's a tribute to early Ys games, so a twitchy action-adventure but without an attack button. Instead, you bump into enemies to attack, but carefully to avoid counter hits.

S'cool.

Angeline Era's Demo is OUT!! In this 'Bumpslash Adventure,' explore a world of Fae and Angels, strange sights, thrilling combat, and...
💥Bump The World!⚔️
