A little under what I remember Towerbound (my best), but similar performance. Towerbound kept it up for about a week after launch before it dropped off on @itch.io. Not sure if Realmfold will keep going as strongly, but hoping some players come back to it. #gamedev07 Jun 2026 23:46 +0000at://did:plc:ctisyw6f6et47vsbxvd5frdw/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnqe2cmilc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/freezebeam.bsky.social/post/3mnl6uwjns22bFor the evening crowd - I released Realmfold today freezebeam.itch.io/realmfold It's a tile placing wizard realm builder inspired by Dorfromantik and tile-based board games.
