A new FGF Giveaway is live!

This is a direct from dev/pub/store giveaway for FGF. Similar to those we've done before. Big thanks go out to msky for doing this!

INTRO

Back in 2023, I played a game I found on itch by the name of Sandtrix. It was a really cool Tetris inspired puzzle game that utilized sandy physics to bring a colourful and satisfying blend to the classic theme. I loved it! Since then, that title further developed and found its way onto Steam with a more feature-complete version by the name of Sandtrix+. That one has been on my wishlist ever since I saw it, and it should be on yours too! Some time passed, and I ended up finding out about a new title from the same developer. A game called Retro Pond! Retro Pond launches next week and just very well may be the best simulation sandbox game where you breed endless weird talking fish and grow your own pond.

Various environments, over 70 rare mutations, loads of decorations and some contests to compete against other fish breeders for valuable prizes. You can even share some of the fish you make with friends so they can get them into their pond too!

With the launch nearing, we felt it would be a great time to put together a giveaway promotional event with the hope of boosting interest and wishlists of the Retro Pond. msky has lovingly supplied 20 Steam keys for Retro Pond, as well as 20 Steam keys for Sandtrix+. A grand total of 40 Steam keys for some unique pixel-graphics indie titles. If you're at all interested in the new title, and/or the old one of course, please considering wishlisting the game(s) as that is massively helpful, especially during the launch window of a new title.

DISCLOSURE

Full disclosure, I was not given any key for this game personally through this promotion, but did get the game for free through keymailer for my livestreaming (unrelated to FGF).
