this smells of childhood

odd because tech does not smell

unless you're sony

*nostalgia*

can I find it also on indiexpo website?

besides here, you can also find it on newgrounds (with achievements) and lexaloffle. I wasn’t planning a release on indiexpo. Is there any particular reason why would you like to see it there?
