Recently I have come across a thumb drive from years ago that contains a pretty complete version of Landmine Larry. I'll be working on porting this over to the newer version of Unity, and will push a release in the future.read 15 Sep 20262 yearsuntil 31 Dec 20189 years 9 months487%Overdueby 7 years 9 months

A game is in Early Access when the store lists it among its genres; the clock starts on the day the ledger saw it enter or, for a game that launched into Early Access, on the release date the store prints. The promise is the developer’s own questionnaire answer, kept word for word; only ranges and single figures are compared, open answers are listed as open, and answers the parser could not read say so. Graduations are recorded from 3 Sep 2026, so earlier years undercount them. A game whose questionnaire has not been read yet says “not read yet” under No promise (how). Data by SteamPeaks.com.
