I seriously cannot recommend this game enough.
Along with Baby Steps, it has completely restored my faith in videogames: it turns out that they don't have to suck!
They can be incredibly fun, incredibly interesting, and incredibly different, all simultaneously! Demand more from your entertainment.
I played a pre-release version of this and loved it. precision-platforming, momentum!, good movement puzzles, good vibes. can't wait to get back in to see the final version! and to try to beat some of those crazy hard optional challenges...
I love the framing in Corrypt where you get Score Gems instead of score. such a pithy way to undercut the value of score, which supports the story beautifully
idk what they're talking about either, unless they're confused about poke() and the emulated hardware/memory. that's not escaping the sandbox, it's just using some less-documented features
Screenshot GAARL - a pixel art dungeon with giant skulls floating around
Also here is a cool screenshot
I have a demo! GAARL is a single screen arcade-y platformer roguelike about climbing chains. My name ended up in the acronym (Gabe's Action Arcade RogueLike) but Pancelor also put a lot of work into this. It is playable in the browser, check it out!

my favorite thing about duckduckgo is jumping directly to a specific site's search page by typing directly into the browser search bar "!w pid controller" or "!yt mario 64 kola superdeep borehole" (no results, unfortunately)
Horsey Game is released at long last! Behold my magnum flopus!

learned a couple bizarre new techniques for this one, it's wild how much depth this game has :)

new high score! 191100
realllly playing with fire at the end here, spooky

nice score!! I love how it always feels terrible to cash in. just one more Coin...
I was so surprised on my ~tenth run ever when I pressed X and the cube went fast. but now I know that dashing is Very Good, for some deliciously weird reasons. Did you know the dash speed is 3 pixels per frame? fun fact.

oh, is it KOLYDR-posting time?
heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community
go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!
sometimes we just wanna climb up things to see if we can do it, maybe to get a nice view, or to learn a new hiding spot. it's frustrating if every nook has "rewards"
in discone, most paths are uncharted, and you will climb and parkour them with your friends

the result is less coupling, in a way that feels sort of obvious in retrospect. but coming at it from the concrete goalpost of "can I delete this line of code without changing ANYTHING else" seems to help me sometimes
I like making individual lines of code deletable. like, no:
```
hit_obj = try_move(dx,dy)
if hit_obj then
try_push(hit_obj,dx,dy)
end
```
but instead:
```
try_move(dx,dy)
try_push(dx,dy)
```
I feel a bit bad checking for obstacles twice, but its _so_ good for keeping the complexity demons out
thanks!
interesting point about tostr()->"". here's lua 5.4:
> function f(x) if x>0 then return x end end
> tostring(f(10))
10
> tostring(f(-4))
<error>
I can't decide whether to be horrified or not haha. I think I like your way better!
and now the bug I was originally trying to track down:
```
function strwidth(str)
local x,y=?str, 0, 10000
printh(tostr(x).." "..tostr(y))
return x,y
end
strwidth("²7⁶y5sTART")
```
this prints (to host console) `7y5sTART nil` (??)
another separate bug:
```
function strwidth(str)
x,y=print(str, 0, 10000)
printh(tostr(x).." "..tostr(y))
return x,y
end
strwidth("hi")
```
this prints `nil nil` when run inside a cart, should be `23 10011` instead
("what other effects that might have" hm now when I open a new code tab, newlines show an inverted n when highlighted. go figure)
, tho idk what other effects that might have. p8scii seems to still work in carts after a tiny bit of testing.
also, `print(nil)` doesn't work unless I change the early-out condition to `if (select("#",...) == 0)`
heyyo, bug report for ya: printing from carts acts weird -- print(true) doesn't print anything. someone pointed me to /system/lib/print.lua, where they noticed printing to windows acts differently from the console. changing `_print_p8scii(str` to `_print_p8scii(_tostring(str)` seems to fix it,
did some sort of engine change speed up the credits? I laughed so hard the first time I beat it but then I saw that one early video and I swear they looked slower. I've been wondering about it ever since. great game

nicee :D did it work first try? both times I've tested it I had a typo or two
