-=About Icoso=-
Hey! I’m Icoso, a solo indie game developer with a passion for creating games people like to play! For my projects, I program all of the code, create all of the ‘art’, and compose all of the music and sound effects! I have lots of fun putting together my games and I also enjoy connecting with the indie game development community! There’s a lot of awesome people out there and I hope you can be the next one that messages me to say hi! I really love knowing what people are working on and seeing updates through gifs, screenshots, development builds, and full releases! Please don’t hesitate to ask me anything or share any of your awesome work – I’d love to be a part of it! :D

This video is similar to two previous one's I've made! As I talked about in the introduction, this is a part of my series, 'The Great Microsoft Saga.' I've already made a labyrinth-style game in Microsoft PowerPoint, and an open-world game in Microsoft Word! You can find these in the links below :)
