"It’s the sort of thing we can’t imagine playing without a cheesy grin on our faces – and that’s something we all need in our lives right now, we reckon."
We hope our ridiculous wrestling weirdos will keep you grinning from beginning to end! Thanks, Kim 💖

Did you know that in addition to choosing your adventurer's class every run, you can also choose their kin?
And each one has its own unique portrait! Look at this lovely Gnome family!

Is there any good reading or thoughts on *why* it is hard to design for alt-controls?
I gave a lecture today on the history of controllers,
which ones rise and fall (Kinect, Wii, voice, phone tilt)
which ones stuck around (mouse, touch)
WHY? How do we predict this?

Made an alternative game controller for rowing yesterday. Joystick mounted on its side. Was fun to make! Will probably polish it up and make another for a party. Definitely not an exercise machine tho 🚣
