oo looks slick

felt like a very perfect cosmic aligning, maybe good things can happen

i’m too old for precision platformers so very relived to discover it’s more in the Öoo space, where jumps are less about reflexes and more about understanding the idiosyncrasies of a single mechanic

aww fab all the loveliest people

daamn this is a familiar level of affectionate devotion ❤️

(sadly i won’t make it to fís, but i will see you next month at amaze!!)

achieved my lifelong dream and made a trailer for my favourite game designer!

that form of meta progression is just telling me you dont respect my time, but hey the art style is singular and they are actually making mechanical *choices* (maybe just not the ones that result in the most interesting decisions)

oh this looks super interesting, especially the branching narrative aspect, will investigate thank you <3

wonderful dreams, this episode is very inspiring

im always succumbing to 'trips and falls'

yes indeedy already released games are also welcome 💫

the indie space is so rich right now but people are only exposed to the wildly lucrative edge cases. this year we're looking to showcase more games that expand peoples idea of what an ‘indie game’ can be

this has fully evaporated me, who will save us now

and same year as Stalker, Alien, the Brood and The Warriors! we should have ended the timeline there

at last a flatgame engine for making simple walkable zine-type games! muhahah

guys with big weird heads in a classroom, text box says ‘you should always’ and the options are ‘look directly into the sun’ ‘sometimes looks directly not away from the sun’ ‘never look not indirectly into an area away from the sun’

a strange boardgame with a gun lying on it sits before you in a stadium, opposite sits a guy with a big strange object head.

this is the kind of game we should celebrate
• original vision and voice
• drawing from other media not just games
• guys with big weird heads

ringing the ’certified hidden gem’ alarm (only 1 review on steam) go in blind if you can, 80 minutes of swaggering genre-less narrative with easily the best character designs of the year

looks like your dms are closed but imagine i messaged you to say 'yaaa!'

wait josh are you uk based ?? you should absolutely submit to GIGF this year

Tux and Fanny on Steam A retro-inspired adventure puzzle game featuring multiple playable characters with interwoven storylines. Explore the natural (and unnatural) world for unique interactions and unlock items to aid you ...

i was really moved by the sense of discovery in Tux and Fanny (and basically no one has played it) store.steampowered.com/app/2094730/...

Love these mixed media html ui adventures <3

the zero parades demo skips right over the uncanny valley into mod territory. and brought to you by a team who use the same printer and bathroom as the original team

yess very excited to play this one!

if you’re passionate about the medium of games, we’re building something special!!

this happens with dark souls clones too, ebb can’t cleanly exact the core inspiration so just grabs seemingly at random. its got real writing but kept making me frown with its unnecessary pilfering

one of the best onscreen couples

scruffly pencil drawn dog with a little smile, thats signed 'emilie - 7'

i was staying in a b&b last week and i spotted this phenomenologically perfect dog in the guestbook, thats *exactly* what it feels like to be scruffle

such a vibrant sound ecosystem, great album rat!
