As you already know Sugar Mess - Let’s Play Jolly Battle took part in one of the biggest gaming events and to be more specific it was the Tokyo Game Show 2023! This year, 243,248 people visited the exhibition over 4 days.
Our team flew to Japan and presented our arcade first person shooter for the whole family. It was a blast!

And here are the key moments that the gamers noticed during these awesome days, so we’d like to share with you a short feedback review:
