It's been almost a year in the making, but my game Joystick Johnny is finally out!

As you might already know, it was originally born as an entry for Game-in-a-Day. I guess you could say it went from a game in a day, to a game in a year. =)

I will write a proper post-mortem in the next few weeks, but I will say this: Game development is f***ing hard! Despite that, it was a great experience and I'm extremely happy with the final product.

Yay! I love Joystick Johnny. It reminds me of the first Flash video I ever made. Except this is good.

Got my email from the mailing list... I've been waiting for this for a while! A big huge congratulation for finishing up and releasing an amazingly fun and addictive game. I can't wait to play all the mini-games that weren't in the demo. :D

This is one of my most beloved games over the years. It's awesome to see how this grew out of a Game In a Day. The final game turned out great and you should be very proud. I hope this gets a small cult following. Congrats!!
