@Wibbzter Right! It's my first game, and I never expected this many. I'm so happy.

[kimuchi | Indie Dev @kim1_ml]

@Wibbzter Thank you! It means a lot to be found among 8,000+ games. 133 wishlists is a big number for me!

@ConnorEllison Thanks! Best reactions so far are from streamers raging at the traps 😂 I've shared a few on my timeline, go check them out! Just opened my DMs too.

Next Fest day 2 isn't even over and it's already my best day EVER 🔥
Day 1: +11 wishlists
Day 2: +26 so far (my previous record was 12)
43 → 80 total
Honestly huge progress for me. Only 20 more to hit 100 before Next Fest ends. Can we get there? 🙏

Started marketing to the Chinese market + Next Fest just kicked off = 11 new wishlists in a single day! 📈
Might not sound like much, but for a small indie dev like me, this is huge.
