Development on NomNom Express, our collector-style platformer, has been full of treats this week—literally! The gameplay is taking shape as we introduce a delicious array of treat-based pickups, from candies to pastries, each offering unique bonuses.

Adding to the excitement, we’ve introduced Food Delivery Bonus Pickups, where you’ll race against the clock to deliver items to specific drop-off zones for extra rewards. We’re also rolling out new tricks for players to master, including power jump boosts to reach tricky platforms and secret areas.

Level testing is close to getting underway, so we're excited to get this setup. Our focus is on balancing challenge and fun, ensuring each level feels rewarding and keeps you coming back for more. Stay tuned for more updates, and keep your controllers (or keyboards) ready—beta testing is just around the corner!

After completing the Press Start Capital ShipAThon, we’re thrilled to announce that Hangry Animals has been named a finalist for the $50k grand prize! This opportunity is a massive milestone for us, and we couldn’t be more excited.

The final interviews take place this week, and we’re confident in the vision we’ve shared for building innovative, fun, and socially impactful gaming experiences. With fingers crossed and a lot of optimism, we’re hoping to bring home the prize to supercharge our next steps. A huge thank you to the ShipAThon team and everyone who’s supported us on this journey.
