Amidst the hype for our new game, we'd like to remind you to "Just make it exist first. You can make it good later." We're less than 24 hours away from the worldwide premiere of our new game in the Indie Live Expo showcase! The second image is a sneak peak of what's to come!

A lot can happen in a year (and a half) when you’re in game development 👾 From one of our very first builds to how the game currently looks and feels! #indiegame #indiegamedev

(We edited our game's showcase participation like it's a horror, only it's horribly exciting instead.)

We're taking the spotlight this weekend! This Saturday, 25th April, tune into the @INDIELiveExpo to watch our new game's worldwide premiere! Watch the showcase here: youtube.com/live/oymRC7dHz…

The difference a year can make. We’ve put a lot of effort into refining the look and feel of our game, Upupa: Bird Ninja. From art to mechanics and everything in between, the game is sharper than ever. Check out our new look at clockworkacorn.itch.io/upupa

Meet the Block Slam 🦀⬛ A sweet looking creature with the crushing power of a brick. Dodge its pummelling attacks, and you might find an opening to strike its weakness. Test your reflexes at clockworkacorn.itch.io/upupa

Can you reach the top? 🪶⏰ While our devs have been hard at work, they’ve managed to climb the tower in just 00:12:21. Think you’ve got what it takes? Test your mastery in our new and improved build at clockworkacorn.itch.io/upupa

Meet the Stealth Wraith 🥷 A resident of the arid desert ruins, this fluttering creature can be hard to catch. But a good hunter knows to track their prey and follow where it leads… Face this foe at clockworkacorn.itch.io/upupa

My game's weirdest feature explained in 5 words or less There is only one attack 🗡️

How do they expect us to work after @PlaytopiaSA😭 Emails mean nothing when you were competitively churning butter only a few days ago 🧈 Thanks for the memories 🫶

Company mandated outside time was had by our little indie dev team last week @AfricaGamesWeek! We even snuck some playtesting & time with adoptable dogs in, somehow 😊

We’re officially headed to @PlaytopiaSA🥳 Come play a brand new build of Upupa Bird Ninja while also hanging out with a flock of local indie devs 🦜 Slash through new enemies, harness new powers, experience new artful rooms & maybe even see bosses lurking in the tower 🪱

@freelives Congrats team! That's huge!
