Is THIS a game? Well, it has everything you'd expect: buttons, pixels, achievements, a mouse-cursor to point and click sometimes, an axolotl, more than 50 mini-”games”. Is this enough? What even is a game? How much interactivity do you need? Are games art? Are there TOO many axolotls in this game?

About this game

From one of the artists behind "Deponia", "Leisure Suit Larry" and a bunch of game you never heard of, comes a new experience:

Is THIS a game?

Well, it has everything you'd expect from a video game:

  • loads of buttons

  • pixels (more than 1000!!!)

  • even animation!

  • achievements (those are important, right?)

  • a mouse-cursor to point and even click sometimes!

  • state of the art 8 bit sound-design!

  • An axolotl

  • More than 50 mini-”games”

  • pop culture references to ALL your (aka my) favorite game franchises

But… is this enough? What even is a game? Does this count? How much interactivity do you need? Are games art? What am I and if yes… how many? Are there maybe TOO many axolotls in this game?

Come in and find out for only 4 bucks! Only for a limited time (<= lie)! Support a more or less struggling gameartist, working in the industry for 10+ years (and still not good enough for the artstation front page). Aaaanyway, thank you for your time and have fun “playing” this “game”...

Jo out.
