57,000$ to create this game? This is insane. The production value is incredible... How did they? I don't. What?

I must echo this. It's mind-blowing. They must have eaten rice and beans for months and remortgaged their houses or something.

Wow thanks :)

Well deserved! This shaping up to be my favorite indie this gen or even of all time.

This will outsell the typical 2D Metroid games lol. I hope it can sell 1 million units on Switch alone. Do you guys think that's possible?

I still haven't purchased it yet on Switch, but I will very soon. I think it has a good shot at hitting 1 million on Switch with as strong as word of mouth has been and with more people picking up Switches each day.

The fact that the game is as polished as it is on such a relatively small budget budget is nothing short of amazing!
And we are getting a Hornet Campaign too! (No Zote)

Congrats, hopefully their next game doesn't take too long, I'm curious to see what they can do now that they hopefully have much better resources.

My game of last year, so glad it's done so well. Early on I felt it wasn't getting the attention it deserved.

Well deserved. Unfortunately for me i had to stop playing. The game will frustrate me with all the back tracking, and dying and almost losing over 1700 coins made me realize i shouldnt continue.

I lost about 2000 geo when my 3 year old got a hold of the game and died a few times. I was annoyed at first, but I read in a couple of places that geo isn't that big of a deal. I decided that this loss just meant that I was playing on hard mode, so I kept at it after changing the parental controls to block my kids from playing (he was not punished otherwise).

There is still a bit of backtracking, but I'm having fun. I'm the type of person who put up with the lack of fast travel in Axiom Verge though.

Very cool, everyone I've seen play this game loves it.
