Well, well, well... here we go again!
Start From 0 took 9th place in its first game jam, and now I’m uploading its first patch and submitting it to the Patch Notes Game Jam!
The first version of SF0 has over 2k plays and amazing comments here on itch.io—and especially on galaxy.click. :) I’m so thankful for that!

As I write this, there are less than 2 days until the submission deadline. I’m dropping this short update now and will work as hard as I can to improve things before the time limit.
Well, I’m running out of time here...
(The Windows and Linux builds will come after the Web build is well finished)
A Loop into Galaxy (Just a 'devlog') January 11, 2026
It was during the final days of 2025 when I visited galaxy.click and saw the announcement for the New Year Incremental Game Jam 2026.
Wow, could this be the chance for me to participate in my first game jam? I've played so many incremental games over the last years...
Well, it was my chance, and I worked on it! :)
Now the first version of Start From 0 is also on Galaxy, and when I visit its homepage I feel a loop that warms my heart ^.^
