Yeah. the title just didn’t feel quite right without an exclamation mark. I’m not sure why ‘JazzPunk!’ isn’t the official title, because if any game deserves exclamation marks it’s this one. The entire experience of JazzPunk revolves around Surprise! With…
It took way damn longer than I meant it to and it was far more frustrating than I thought it would be, but the new entity system is fully armed and operational. I was going to use this space to…
