Great news, Kopanito is doing very well! We were guests of two gaming events in Poland, showed Kopanito to a wider audience, collected feedback and had a great time! :) The game is still in development, but available as Early Access on Steam.
Finally on Steam!
Pixel Heaven 2015
Pixel Heaven is a retro gaming event that took place in September, in Warsaw, Poland. We've been invited by the event organizers and had a great time showing Kopanito. We had 3 gaming stations and all of them were constantly occupied by players :) We've managed to organize a first Kopanito tournament with 16 participants. There have been other indie games as well, mostly from Poland. Kopanito received 4 out of 11 awards at Pixel Heaven:
- Best Gameplay – hopefully self-explanatory, if you didn't played yet, consider checking out the demo version at least
- Retro Roots – best references to older games
- Big Bang! – biggest surprise
- Grand Prix - audience award by votes
Poznań Game Arena 2015
The biggest gaming event in eastern Europe that took place in October in Poznań, Poland. This time there was more great indie games and we had our booth too. A lot of people and our 3 gaming stations were constantly occupied by players, which is awesome (again) :) Kopanito received PGA Award for the best Indie Game!

We've made some progress regarding running the game on Linux via Steam and we'll make it available soon, along with the upcoming v0.3.0 update.
