When the alternative arose to make our first sport, A Little to the Left, we by no means imagined it could promote over one million copies in its first yr, and win the hearts of such a large viewers.
This expertise has allowed us to proceed to do what we love, and our sport’s journey is about to take one other huge leap, because it’s coming to Xbox on February 15 with Xbox Game Pass. Right here’s why we expect you’ll love our tidy little puzzler.
