About This Game

Note: If you don't care about making levels, the main story is 2-4 hours long and a second quest is in the works.

Hi, I'm Bowser, a solo indie dev. I wanted to create something that exists somewhere between a game, a maker game, and a game engine, a toy box that can be enjoyed by casual players, skilled players, level designers, modders, rom hackers, and everyone in-between. Built from the ground up on a custom engine designed for level making and modding, with pixel perfect rendering, dynamic lighting, and a retro physics engine. Full game, not early access, no in-app purchases, no DLC, and I'm committed to regular updates, with at least a few new things for the editor each week.

Full controller support. Designed for cozy couch gaming. No mouse or keyboard needed.
