JOHN GLEEP, the "dual-screen" action-roguelike by solo developer monthbug (Street Dog Legend) published by offbrand games, launches on Steam on November 11, 2026 (Windows, macOS, Linux). You pilot a tiny alien's UFO to abduct people on one half of the screen while they bounce through your pachinko casino on the other half, to pay back a mob boss.
