I finally published my #gmtk #gamejam entry: Xorbitz!

Play it in your browser: xbattlestation.itch.io/xorbitz

I may have stuffed up the indexing of this game by initially choosing not to show it in search results :(

I keep blowing hot & cold on my #gmtk #gamejam entry. Each time I think it isn't worth the effort, I add a constraint and it seems fun again. Still not sure. Nice planets, a scoop mechanism, and you must orbit every planet to progress.

Day 1 done on my #gmtk #gamejam entry. Theme is loops, so I went for orbital mechanics. Got quite a bit done, need to make some nice puzzles and then make it look good :D #monogame #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Retro Dogfight - Classic Flight Simulation Podcast Welcome to Retro Dogfight, a monthly podcast in which we'll talk about the classic combat sims of old, primarily of the 80s and 90s!

Very excited for this new podcast: www.retrodogfight.com - covering the golden age of 80's & 90's home combat flight sims, before the market got good-looking but ultimately boring with DCS. #FlightSimulation #FlightCombat #Dogfight #AirCombat #gaming #games

Ungul8r by xbattlestation A twin stick shooter I made for the I, REBEL Game Jam 2025 powered by Atari. A mix of Llamatron & JetPac.

I completed my #Atari I, Rebel #gamejam entry: xbattlestation.itch.io/ungul8r It was a lot of fun to make, a bit different to the games I normally make. Action twin stick shooter, my version of a Jeff Minter style take on JetPac vs Llamatron, made in 7 days. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #monogame

This actually looks really nice! I've gone through a couple of your older games, but somehow missed this. I'll be playing this tomorrow :)

Had a busy couple of days - adding my programmer art, funky backgrounds, sound, kinda-sorta-proper control around levels & scoring. It looks a lot better when its moving. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #monogame #gamejam
