Fantastic roguelike Jupiter Hell gets a new scary boss, new locations

Super cute #indiegame for 2/29 by npckc: https://npckc.itch.io/229
I put a reminder on my calendar for 2/29/2028 to play it again. Doing so raised a lot of questions for me: will the game still be there? Will npckc make a different 2/29 game for 2028? Will I still have this calendaring system in four years? Will the world and my life be in a state where I feel able to take 10 minutes for a little game? *incoherent mumbles about climate change and politics*
Anyway, the game's good. 😹
