UNGA BUNGA BUNGA
Thank you so much for sticking with me and supporting the game.
Seriously. You’re awesome.
Now I have three very important tasks for you:
Download the game! Gather your tribe, grab your club, and go.
If you enjoy the game, please leave an honest review. Reviews are incredibly important and help the game survive in the wild. Every review helps more people discover it, and it genuinely means a lot to me.
If something is broken, weird, or just plain stupid, please reach out to me! Send me a message, report the problem through our Bugs and feedback discussion board on Steam or Discord, yell at the mammoth, whatever works. I’m ready and here to fix things.
