QL was our first game and although it was a big milestone for us, it was created at a time before we understood version control software. We do not have access to the source code anymore and cannot make any fixes or changes to the game. Because of this, we have decided to disable the ability for anyone to buy copies of the game. Thank you for your time and feel free to reach out to us.

The trailer looks like an awesome vaporwave freeze tag indie game.

So, basically, “we started learning Git and accidentally blew away the only copy of the code base we had!” 😂

I’ve watched new developers delete 2 weeks worth of development by misunderstanding Git🤦‍♂️
