The last push is here! 96 hours left to support us!
Thank you all so much for getting us to where we are, because we're almost to our first bonus reward! Each of you reading this has helped us in some way, whether it was backing, sharing, or cross-promoing with our campaign!
ADDITIONAL NEWS: With the consent of the people who pledged at the God Under the Stone tier, we increased the number of copies that were originally limited to 3, to have them now be limited to 5. This tier was made for a special few people, and from the messages I got of people who wanted to do this tier, this is your final chance to get it!
They say the last 48 hours of a campaign can be the most important to making a final push on Kickstarter. We're currently at 162% of our goal, but we can see it getting close to 200% if we continue to have awesome supporters like the ones below who helped out campaign! So I wanted to make a special update for them for helping us out along the way!
Special shout outs to these four amazing campaigns!
I wanted to write a special section to those who have supported our campaign so far by sharing us. Check them out and see what you think!
Operation Outsmart: LAST 24 HOURS!
Operation Outsmart is on its last 24 hours!! It is a physics sandbox open-world adventure game filled with cute koalas and challenging quests. Help the koalas with their problems and you will be rewarded with new materials, warrior koalas, and mechanical parts. You can then use these items (and koalas) to construct wacky machines, hop on your builds and go on missions to take down those pesky minions.

A shout out to our Gelatinous friends!

Huge 'thank you' to our friends who have supported us so far!
We are getting close to the final 96 hours of our campaign here, and what a wild ride it has been! From getting 20k in just just 4 days, to now getting close to breaching our $35,000 goal, we only have all of you and the people who shared us to thank!
I wanted to make a special mention to Steven Long's "Gelatinous: Humanity Lost", a new game to add to your Nintendo Game Boy's library! They wrote a very well written update for us, so we plan on doing the same for them!
As you can probably tell, we love pixel art here at Strollart Studio; and the same can be set for those developing GELATINOUS.
The retro aesthetic of an original Game Boy brick with a green screen, and the unfiltered frustration of old-school challenge gets our boxes booming. The goal of their campaign is to pay homage to the original Game Boy, while also giving people a new option of game to play!
Gelatinous is a platforming adventure inspired by games like Mega Man, Metroid, Castlevania, and many others. All games that also inspired the pixel art of games like ours generations later. There will be a physical edition you can grab right now on their Kickstarter below!
I hope you check them out and support their campaign if you have the chance!

– Fri, Sep 24, 2021 at 01:10:00 AM
Thank YOU, and everyone for getting us so far!
In the last 22 days, we managed to gather what is now almost SIX times what we raised with our original Kickstarter back in 2019, and this time blasting past our goal in what anyone might describe as a blowout success so far. Never in our wildest imaginations that only two years ago would we have thought of being in the place we are today.
September 2019 campaign
I want to thank each one of you for helping us get this far in our campaign. It's an incredible feeling to know that not only do people want your game -- but they also want your dream to be a success.
Many joined our adventure with us from the original campaign in 2019, but we hope that many of you join with us on our journeys with this campaign as well!
We still have ELEVEN days to continue the push here on Kickstarter. Many new fans are still pouring in, and each day we simultaneously see our community grow ever stronger.
Thank YOU, and everyone so much for your continued support, and sharing our dream to so many new people!
