Voices from players
"Arcadyne turned my commute into a surprise arcade. The demos are short, the personality is big, and I keep finding clever little mechanics I never expected."
— Mara T., speedrunner
"I submitted a tiny prototype and watched it pop into the weekly mix. The feedback was kind and the scoring nudged real refinement."
— Devs at TinyLumen
