The First Step

About

The First Step is a single player action game. It was developed by Nifty Red Panda and was released on September 21, 2022. It received positive reviews from players.

Explore 2 levels, and collect all the required items. The levels are timed, so you can try to beat the levels as fast as possible. Or you can casually take your time and explore around. This project is only meant as a learning project for me. So please do not expect a complete game.
