Spring Dash has been Released!

Mar 29

Hey everyone,

Spring Dash has finally been released!

Thankyou to everyone who played the demo, play-tested the game, and stuck by my side during development. I'm so happy to have finally released my first game, and I can't wait to work on more projects and build more fun stuff!

That's not to say Spring Dash development is completely finished - I will be very active on discord, looking for bug reports, listening to suggestions, and engaging with the community.

I hope you enjoy Spring Dash!
