Hey Adventurers! First of all, thank you for playing Janosik 2, and all the feedback and bug reports over the course of last week.

The game’s sprites and backgrounds were drawn by hand, one pixel at a time in Aseprite. To keep the vibe of old-school platformer, Marcin used a limited c

Hey adventurers, We've talked about Janosik's companions in the previous Dev Updates, but there is something else that will accompany you during your journey into the Highlands - the music! The man behind Janosik 2's soundtrack is Juhani Junkala, a talented composer from Helsinki, Finland. We first came across Juhani's work on OpenGameArt, where several of his tracks immediately caught our attention. In fact, we liked them so much we reached out to him with a proposal to collaborate on Janosik 2. Thankfully, he was up for it, and that's how the music for the game came to life! While Juhani has
