[Outer Wonders] is a colorful, pixel art, puzzle-based adventure game
developed by [Utopixel] where you play as Bibi, a cute round monkey who
enjoys rolling in straight lines. Explore a whimsical nature where
altering the environment is key to progress, and solve puzzles to protect
its wonders.

Outer Wonders can be downloaded for Linux and Windows from [itch.io][ow-itchio].

May was mostly dedicated to code cleaning, small improvements, as well as
blogging and community building. Updates of the month include:

- Refactored UI code to streamline menu stacking and ease the implementation
of an upcoming options menu.
- Added support for menu navigation using the D-Pad alongside the existing
analog stick support.
- Published a blog post about building Outer Wonders for Linux/itch.io
([english][ow-bp-english], [french][ow-bp-french]).
- Posted weekly puzzles [#16][ow-p16], [#17][ow-p17], [#18][ow-p18] and
[#19][ow-p19] on social media for players wishing to give puzzles a
try prior to downloading the game.
