Vince is a one-man powerhouse who pours his heart into each creation. Due to the intricate process, each LE cartridge takes an hour to assemble! Even our standard carts are meticulously assembled by hand in our office, ensuring each piece meets the highest standards of quality and care.
Addressing Additional Content
We know you’re hungry for more game content; trust us, we hear you! The ZPF team has been pouring their hearts and souls into this project for years, and there’s still a road ahead for the original scope of the game. They’re all about quality over quantity, making sure every pixel of ZPF is polished and fun, ensuring the game meets the highest standards. ZPF will be packed to the gills with excitement, secrets, and gameplay, and the dev team's vision will be sure to make jaws drop!
Nintendo Switch Stretch Goal Unlocked! 🚀
Drumroll, please... We’ve unlocked the Nintendo Switch port stretch goal! That’s right, ZPF will now be ported to the Switch, and you'll be able to take this adventure wherever you go. Play on the bus, at the beach, or from the comfort of your couch.
Porting made Possible!
