Game History
In July 2013 we were approached by indie-game news outlet Indie Statik to create a game exclusively for their Kickstarter Game Pack. We like making games, and we like Indie Statik, so we said yes! The game was ready in October 2013 and was released to the backers in January 2014. In August of the same year, after upgrading the game resolution and polishing it up for a TV experience, Neon Caves released worldwide on the OUYA Android micro-console.
Five years on, after a life of relative solitude, it’s now coming to Nintendo Switch. Can you top the leaderboard?
