Hey.  Once the game is shipped I will convert this page to sell the full game in addition to having the free demo.  

In response to your other question, I've already started the manufacturing process of the carts so I'm not taking any more late orders, sorry.  I plan on making some extras for me so maybe I will have some at the end of fulfillment so maybe keep an eye out.  Feel free to follow me on Twitter or join our Discord (can be found on the KS page).

Thank you for the response! I will await further updates! :)

The page should now be converted to the full game if you still want to check it out!

I. Am. Excite.

This game is based on Bouncedown, a game I played on iOS fifteen years ago, and I love it!

Yes it is borrowing inspiration from it with more characters and platforms.  Good eye :)  I'll be honest though I hated the iOS version, the browser version was far better.  There was a iOS version of Miner Disturbance that was really good and I had the global highscore for a few weeks around launch lol.

this is a fun arcade game

Thanks.  Glad you're enjoying it!
