However when someone really takes the time to write me a nice email about how much they enjoyed my game, it makes me feel good. Even if I don’t answer you, I read ALL emails that I get. And I’d like to thank everyone who takes the time to write to me. I’ve never received such a flood of emails before for a single game! :D

I’m currently catching up with all emails that I should have replied to a long time ago…

So I decided to put it up for download.

You can download it here: http://www.playe7.com/e7-Soundtrack.zip

Enjoy! :)

Also, e7 hit one million plays last night and got some more great reviews.

Check this one out:

Almost a year. I will really try to keep you guys updated more often from now on. I will also make a bit of a redesign of my site, the blue on top with my logo looks just terrible.

That said, I released my new game e7! You can play it here: playe7.com or go check it out on Newgrounds.

It got the daily feature there, and an amazing score of 4.22!

It has also gotten quite a bit of attention by the indie games community:

e7 on Jay is Games

e7 on Indiegames

e7 on RockPaperShotgun

“e7 is lovingly understated and beautiful, from the rush of wind and light piano track that convey a simultaneous sense of isolation and hope, to the silhouetted foreground scenery overlaying a distant and imaginative landscape. The gameplay is simple, to be sure, but the central mechanic is fun to learn, tricky to master, and wholly satisfying once you’ve reigned it in. ”
