Release & Industry Impact

@steroidal began as an entry to the June 2014 AGDG Microgame Jam. I worked on it on and off for about a year before putting it on hold. This was mainly due to dissatisfaction with my own design decisions. I do have plans to revive the game eventually, but it’ll likely involve starting from scratch.
