Follow My Upcoming Game, GadgetSmack!
My goal is to design, develop, and launch my first game ever in March 2026. In my first 5 months, I have successfully launched my first pre-alpha demo, and I’m looking for feedback! CLICK HERE TO PLAY
The game will be a sci-fi, hack and slash, 2D top-down game with hand-drawn animations done in black and white ink. My goal is to tap into feedback from anyone and everyone interested in my game in order to create a game enjoyed by many. My initial pre-alpha and alpha demos will be released on Itch.io, and a demo and full version will release on Steam.
Got ideas for me? Send me an email, dm, etc. I’d love to hear from you!
