I never push Master Spy, but I just had to pay the tax fees for it! so, if you want to check out a platformer with rad pixel art + cutscenes that a friend and I made over a decade ago (with a sick OST by RAC), it's *only $1* in the Steam spring sale! 👇

Side note: In Google Meet we discovered that, unlike all other emojis that randomly float up the screen, when you select the Crab emoji reaction it does an adorable crab walk across the screen. Literal army of crabs emojis, on-screen every time this is mentioned in Devolver team meetings
