Story

It was first released on iOS years ago. It then became Alphavetist when we introduced more languages, like Hebrew, Cyrillic, Korean, Inuktitut, Greek and Morse.

The project was a trial to see if we could design, write and assemble a project entirely within the Uxn computer. We also made it to practice using Nasu, our spritesheet editor.
