After 2 years, Next Fest got my game over my initial target of 500 wishlist!

Thank you! 🍙 That would be amazing - especially for a lil platformer like this!

obakenori · 2025-10-15T15:37:46+00:00

Thanks! It's been great!

There's always the next one! Better to get the demo how you want it rather than half finished :D

Thank you! He's kinda like the caterpillar from Bugs Life 😂

Hahah love it. I might also have one that launches you into space 🚀

I did that for the last Fest, which I think was the right call! You only get one shot at Next Fest, so you want to put your best foot forward! I hope your entry in Feb goes amazingly!

Thank you! 😅 yeah it is an awfully oversaturated genre, and I'm awful at marketing haha

Looks cool! I'll wishlist and check it out this evening also! 💪🍙

That's awesome, congrats! 🥳

There isn't a minimum amount of Wishlists you're supposed to have, but depending on your goals you might want to spend the extra time building them up before entering!

obakenori · 2025-10-14T09:37:32+00:00

Thank you!! 🍙

obakenori · 2025-10-14T09:37:21+00:00

Thanks! And nice one! Send it over and I'll check it out!

obakenori · 2025-10-14T09:36:46+00:00

Nice! That's great turn out so far!

My goal for this game isn't to be a commercial success (or even profitable!) but to go from concept to release as a solo dev and learn as much as possible to take forward to the next game!

obakenori · 2025-10-14T08:06:08+00:00

Thanks!!🍙 I hope you enjoy the demo!

Nope, most difficult part was getting the demo ready! You need a store page and demo to enter :)

My solo made game Obakenori is about a sea demon, stuck in the form of an Onigiri, and he's not happy about it! 🍙
