Remember when I asked if "Australia Did It: End-of-the-World Railway Defense Business" would be superior a title to "Australia Did It" & y'all agreed & I said I'd go talk to the publisher about it? Oh, before I forget: launching November 10th! Please do wishlist :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBFl...

One localisation report for Australia Did It returned with a note that the game's title won't work in their territory & suggested to instead use "Australia Did It: End-of-the-World Railway Defence Business" and now I want that, like, globally Wishlist @ store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

We're thrilled by the great response that @australiadidit.gg has received from players in Steam Next Fest! "Hell yeah! This rules, I like the Into the Breach style puzzling coming into the combat, and the way the upgrades diverge from 3 simple options." Excited to share more about the game soon!

Also enjoying Australia Did It by @ramiismail.com. Nice art, and it has a turn based tactics layer where you combine guys to make other guys. It's fun to try and find all the different combos, and combining also helps you pull of certain plays because it refreshes your moves. But there's more..

Australia Did It is a bonzer take on Snowpiercer meets Starship Troopers. It balances 2 modes of tower defense, an Into the Breach style turn based puzzle and a real-time simulation. Some of the information layers could be better surfaced, but I'm thankful for an actual undo button, you beauty!

I set up the main menu scene for Australia Did It. Made this splitflap display and credits sequence for it. You can play the demo right now btw store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

I can't share what I worked on yet, but let's just say Rami asked me last minute to join the project, so it was a SPLIT second decision. I FLAPPED around, even though I was working on my MAIN project. Told him I was happy to put this on the MENU. Credit where CREDIT'S due, they did a great job!

It's cool to see a return to multi-style games! Australia Did It alternates between tower defense and reverse bullet hell. I like the unit merging mechanic, especially given the overall structure, but accidentally leaving a unit behind is harrowing 😅 store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

So @ramiismail.com's Australia Did It demo is SO very my jam! What a cool mashup of Into the Breach tactics, tower defense, a bit of Vampire Survivors, maybe some auto-chess? Blasted through the demo, very excited to see the full game when its out!
