Hi Caromblers!,
We hope you're doing okay in these strange and confusing times.
All of us are healthy and we are all working our day-jobs from home (in the Netherlands). Due to the situation, some of us had to ramp up the amount of (regular) working days to full time. Furthermore, we're trying to restrict our screentime and increase our family time when we're not working on our paying jobs. This helps keeping us sane (at least as sane as we were).
You may understand this also has its effect on our Caromble! progress. We're keeping at is as we can. This screenshot is from the area that leads to the final boss fight. We added ourselves to the game if you don't mind. We even have a gameplay role there:
We're trying to be safe, healthy and sane and we hope you find ways to do the same. We are thankful for games to help us in this time (I'm currently playing Outer Wilds on PS4, love it!), but we are also thankful there is so much joy to be found outside of screentime. These times help us realize that more than ever.
We wish you all the best!
The Caromble! team
