How you do get the console to open?
Not sure if this one have it as we do not test it that way. 🙁
How do you open the console in this version? It should be F1 or Shift-F1 but nothing I try gets the console to open. F2 does give the frame rate, though. The console is pretty important for this game.
Please try to search google didn’t test the game with the console so we do not have idea about it 🙁
Can you update the game?
Sorry, there’s no available download link for the game update 🙁
can you add The First Tree?
cuphead pls
Why would you ask for a different game here, when it says quite specifically that this is a section for commenting on Niche? As for asking for a game that is already available…don’t be lazy. You are capable of doing a search first… ask only if your search comes up “empty”. On a side note many many many thanks to those who run this site, provide links and do all “the heavy lifting” for the rest of poor schmoes 🙂 xxoo
You are always welcome Thanatos, we are happy to have you here 😀
We have posted the game already please check…
