- June Update - Still Chipping Away ⛳ - 13 June 2024
Hey Galaxy Gamers, June already, that’s crazy! Even more crazy to think that we’re likely within 12 months of launch. Yep. I’m fine. This month’s update is going to be short and sweet, letting you know that we are hard at work creating some new mini-games as well as planning out the highly requested single-player mode. But before we get into all that, be sure to follow us on Instagram for some more hilarious memes like this one! Fore! (that's a golf term) While we’ve teased it here and there, we’re finally ready to show you a sneaky little GIF of a new mini-game called “Hole in One”. The GIF below is a work-in-progress, but we’re excited to show you more as things come along. Crochet Touch-and-Go! Last month, we showed off a little of our crocheted pips. This time though, we had a little medical crochet-related emergency. But it’s ok! While it was touch-and-go for a while there, we’re h…
- May Update - An Entire Generation of Games - 17 May 2024
Hey Galaxy Gamers, We’re back with a brand new update for May! We had a wonderful time at Generation Games in Sydney where, for the first time, players went hands-on with our brand new mini-game Nebula Nab. We’ve also dabbled in making some physical merchandise, like fun shiny stickers and adorable crocheted characters. But before we get into all that, be sure to follow us on Instagram for some ripping memes like this one! Nabbing the Nebulas at Generation Games We teased it in the April Steam update, but last month at Generation Games, we let players go hands-on with Nebula Nab, our brand new mini game, for the very first time. And it was a hit! And so was our little panel talk we did 🙂 In Nebula Nab, each player must jump around and collect little grey sprites called Pips; doing so will turn them into little pip versions of your chosen Celestial. Once collected, it is up to that play…
- An Overdue Progress Update- April 2024 - 12 April 2024
Hey Galaxy Gamers, Thank you everyone for your patience! We know we’ve been quiet since the Steam Remote Play Together Fest, but rest assured, the team has been hard at work. While we’ve been active on our socials, we’ve neglected to provide an update here on Steam, so we’re going to do our best to provide updates here more frequently moving forward. Name Change That’s right, it’s not a trick of the Mandela Effect, we have changed the title of the game. We changed it from Which Way Up: Space Olympics as we realised we didn’t want the International Olympic Committee coming after us for trademark infringement. However, in hindsight, we quickly grew fond of the new title, and we hope you will too! We’ve Been Social Two weeks ago in Melbourne, Victoria, we had an absolute blast at The Game Expo showcasing our game to attendees. We received some wonderful feedback, snapped some fun photos an…
