I found CrossCode way back when it was on ChromeExperiements. It was so young. It had only the beginning stage, where you learn the controls with Lea. I remember thinking, 'THIS IS SO COOL! And all done in HTML5! I wish this would become a full game.' It was amazing to see this return.
I just recently found CrossCode on Steam. Just for the heck of it, I sorted all of Steam's games by User Review and found that it was one of the top games in all of Steam. Needless to say I tried it and I can kiiiind of see why it got those ratings
I stumbled upon an animation where Shizuka uses her third tier fire skill and I thought hey is this a game? And started googling about CrossCode and it was still young at that time! I bought it on steam and at that time it only had like story mode until you leave the ship and that's it.
The new Steam store recommended it to me based off of my wishlist/other games/likes, etc. And wow, was it spot on. I'm really, really loving this game.
I found it during the Steam autumn sale. I was looking at a list of all the games that were on sale, but I wasn't seeing anything I really wanted. So I tried filtering the search by highest ratings, and CrossCode was the one at the very top. Right were it should be.
