Islets
A new metroidvania from the Islets developers is out next week!
For those past two years, I've been working on a new game, and it's coming out very very soon! On August 27th (in 6 days!) I'll be releasing Crypt Custodian. Crypt Custodian is a top-down metroidvania about a cat who is sentenced to be the afterlife's janitor.. forever! While the story and characters are not directly connected to Islets, the art, writing, music, and gameplay will all be extremely familiar if you've played through Islets.
I'm super proud of Crypt Custodian and I can't wait for you all to be able to try it out! Please wishlist and follow the game (linked below), and check back in next week on August 27th for the full release. Thanks so much again to every one who has taken any interest in any of the games I've made. It's so wild to me that this has turned into my job, and I am so grateful to be able to keep making these strange cute metroidvanias.

Patch 1.003 is Now Live!
The response continues to be really exceptional and we're truly delighted to see so many folks enjoying the game. We have another small update ready for you all with a variety of fixes and changes. You can see the full list below:
1. Added in Cloud Saves! (In order to add an existing save to the cloud, you must load the save file, and save again. Be aware that now if you have 2 different save files on the same slot on different devices, this could overwrite them)
2. Fixed a softlock that occurs when dying while collecting an upgrade
3. Game backs up save files when successfully loading from the main menu
4. Fixed a bug that occurred when you saved and loaded on the same frame
5. Fixed a bug where dying immediately after beating a timed death match softlocks you out of receiving the upgrade
6. Water splashes now won't move through walls
7. Fixed a missing wall in Tomb Ruins
8. Speedrun timer ends at a different point by request
Patch 1.002 is Live!
We've been hard at work on putting together a patch to address many issues we've seen folks encountering during this first week. You can read the full patch notes below:
-Fixed a bug that occurs when pausing from a teleporter screen
-Fixed a bug where enemies in a specific deathmatch could fall out of the room
-Fixed a rare bug that would corrupt save files, and repairs previously-corrupted save files. (Note: Files corrupted by exiting mid-save are not included in this)
-Fixed getting stuck in moving platforms. Also prevented a couple harmless glitches that occur when interrupting a moving platforms movement
-Added missing icons on the map (Magnet on Eastwright Island, and Save shrine in Spirits Landing)
-In speedrun mode, double-tapping climb on a wall imitates button mashing
-Fixed screenshake still occuring during slam attack, even when turned off
-Allows screenshots with F12
-Prevents softlock when exiting during the island-connect cutscene
