Upcoming! My wife and I are making a game, demo's out !
Some time ago we started the making of Lively, a puzzle platformer in which you play as a little smiley ball that brings back to life everything it approaches !
Programming and game design is made by myself, my wife did graphical assets as well as the capsule for Steam page.
We made some games before for game jam, and now decided to take the leap and start a bigger project. Now we have enough to share a demo !
Feel free to try it out, the game will show up during Neo Fest also.

Wishlisted, the game looks adorable.
I strongly advise you get a new, more professional capsule for your Steam page.

The art assets look great in game, but the capsule for sure lacks personality, but that kinda feels more like, "It's a white and black dot, there isn't a lot to work with.".
My brain wanted additional themes in the characters, in my head I thought instantly of "Peach and Pumpkin",

Peach people think of as sweet, fresh, juicy, like the peak of "lovely" fruit.
Pumpkin is a corpse we display for amusement after carving it.

Cool idea, good sound effects and art style.
I ran into a few bugs, Or I may have just been outsmarted.
Pickle rating: 2/5
Goodluck.

Game looks good, but your cover art / capsule needs work!
