Hello explorers!
Raider Kid launched exactly one week ago, and despite its stealth release, it's getting such an overwhelmingly positive response that even we couldn't have predicted!
Just earlier today, we achieved 50 reviews on Steam (and all of them positive, so far🤯), which changes our displayed rating to Very Positive 🥳 On top of that, people are slowly finding out about the game on YouTube and Reddit, where it has been receiving insanely positive reviews for such a humble game. It even was the first microvania to make it to the A-tier in MetroidvaniaGuru's Tier List 🤯🤯🤯
On top of that, we've got a growing speedrunning community discussing strategies on our Discord. Highlights to:
We've also streamed the game 3 times on the Steam page - Including a celebratory AMA session with the whole team, where we share easter eggs and development secrets! Check it out if you haven't yet!

Stay curious,
