Haha. I can safely say I've never used this word, but maybe now I'll have to try.
The icecoldblood.itch.io page just reached 1,000 followers!🦇🍷
For those that follow me on any platform, I want to express just how much your interest in the Batty Zabella series means to me. I've had so much fun sharing these games with people, and there's definitely more to come.
Thank you.
These killer sketches were whipped up by Tim instagram.com/jetrexdesign during a play session of the recently released demo for Bat-Son's Nightmare.
He captured the character so perfectly in such a short amount of time. Real artists simply cannot be replaced.

BAT-SON'S NIGHTMARE UPDATE!!
Bat-Son can now use his wings to fly! Just like... well... a bat. This allows for tighter air control, and safer landings.
Check out the updated demo here:

He can hit his head on the ceiling if you jump too high!

BAT-SON'S NIGHTMARE!!🦇
I've been quietly working on this since my first reveal, but thought I'd finally show off some updated art.

Batty on a train, hm? I wonder...
At the beginning of December, I was very disappointed that these two games arrived bent and dented in a padded envelope from Canada. Now the seller, @icecoldblood.bsky.social , has promptly sent me both games again – this time in a sturdy box and well-padded. Excellent! 😊👍
Sincere apologies to anyone that purchased Batty Zabella 1 or 2 from my store and had received either in this state. This was my first time sending physical games independently, and I did not realize the packaging would be so fragile. Please contact me if you've had this issue.
My sincere apologies. This was my first time mailing copies independently, and I didn't realize how fragile the bubble mailer would be. I also replied on X, but whichever platform you wish to reach out on, I'm willing to offer a full refund or replacement boxes/manuals.
as some of you know, i do the cover art for @icecoldblood.bsky.social 's game series Batty Zabella! here's a recent drawing i did of Batty and Carol, just two mom friends out on the town, enjoying some margaritas. 🫰 #artsky

This is what was happening over the weekend! Hanging out with @cycadagames.bsky.social and @jdeepixels.bsky.social at @halconscificon.bsky.social. Had a lot of fun introducing new folks to Batty Zabella and making connections with local game devs.

Cool. We're up on the 6th floor, room 608. Mostly in the "gaming" room all weekend, but also will be in the presenter room nearby a few times.
