Bossa Studios is perhaps best known for its platformer I Am Bread; according to Matt’s review, it’s a non-subtle homage to Kafka that lacks context and gameplay precision. The developer seems to have moved away from any sort of deep inspiration with its upcoming title announced today, Lost Skies. It’s…

Video game lovers have been obsessed over whether or not in-game dogs can be pet for years (in the upcoming Little Friends: Puppy Island, you can pet literally all of them!), but now it’s time for the dog to be the protagonist. Breeze in the Clouds is a 2D action…
