We’re Moving Hosts

We’re moving hosts due to some horror stories we’ve heard and in order to save some dough. Domain etc. will all stay the same, but there may be some hiccups over the next week.
Minima Bomber PostMortem

Introduction: Minima Bomber is a 7-day game created for August’s Experimental Gameplay project. It’s a platformer like any Mario game but has destructible terrain like Worms. — What Went Right?
