:0 so cool! cannot wait to see how this progresses. thank you for making this game!
This game knocked it out of the park! The art is beyond crisp, the narrative design is lovely and the mechanics are brimming with a creativity and elegance that is palpable.
I adore the witchy vibes and the small community stories being built towards the larger narrative! The attention to detail is crazy, and nearly every basic mechanic has a creative spin that builds up the character of the game.
Mechanically speaking this feels like one of the most polished Indie games I've played in a while. I'd love to see more!
Hi I'm a game dev can I join
o love the but
Made a video
The in-game sprites are so pop and cute, and I had so much fun just walking around this world, talking to people, and carrying things!
Holding a cat or wearing a witch hat was absolutely adorable!
I can’t wait to see where the story goes next.
I want to lift Squish up and feel the fluffiness, meow~! 🐱
It's soo incredibly cute when Squish trips!
Thought I'd drop a video of my tallest tower so far. I reckon with enough experimenting I could get even higher heeheee
Soo cuuuuuuute. Love my little squishles <3
Beautiful! So much fun just exploring.
every time squish trips over a pebble is HILARIOUS.
Whole game could just be Squish tripping and it'd still be a 10/10 experience!
Finally had a chance to sit down and play the release! Love the vibes, my fav thing to do is gather all the items and build the biggest tower possible hahaha. Also when I discovered I can plant seeds inside myself--now I can have an inner garden just for me!!!
Congratulations on the launch! Such a cool game, love wrecking havoc by chucking things all over the place. My favourite pass time. Can't wait to see future developments!
Well done! A fine little game with an adorable little guy. We will be watching his career with great interest.
Congrats on the launch Rich and Rohil! I've loved playing Squish.
