Shoutouts to @thirtythreegames.bsky.social devs for the amazing game they’re working on: Rebounder. They had a contest for this metal 8bitdo controller and I ended up winning! Can’t wait for when this game releases!

Absolutely unreal!

Excited for Rebounder to be absolutely torn to shreds at AGDQ!

Thanks so much for the kind words and for checking out the demo! That brick wall screen you hit is a common brick wall for people, so don't worry about it too much lol. We've still got lots of sanding of the difficulty curve to do. Hopefully there won't be any walls, just some steep bits post-end 😁

We played #Rebounder, a new precision platformer from Canadian dev team @thirtythreegames.bsky.social, at The Mix Fall Showcase over #PAXWest weekend, and we cannot get it out of our heads.

Thanks for the kind words! Currently there's no way to get the music on its own as its constantly changing, but we'll definitely release a soundtrack!

Re-Bounder on Steam In this bouncy sequel, released in 1987 for the Commodore 64, take on the role of an eternally bouncing tennis ball once more, travelling over a surreal landscape, but now equipped with powerful weapo...

Yes, a classic C64 game! It was even re-released on steam recently store.steampowered.com/app/2447800/...

Hopefully there's not too much confusion between our games.

We'd be flattered to be your game of the year :), especially with a super early demo! No hard feelings if you decide to go with a more finished game though

Working on a prototype of a second spore type that complements the first one. It's slow in the air, juggling-friendly, and unlocks entirely new movement sequences. Looking forward to getting it in peoples' hands!

Occasionally I see a game in development that stays permanently on my radar, and this one looks really promising and exciting. The SMW shell kaizo influence is strong here, and the visuals and general atmosphere look incredibly fresh. This is one to keep an eye on, for sure.

Played Rebounder at the Indie Mix event during #PAXWest, and I am fully ready for it to be the only thing I can think about until the next time I get my hands on it. Looking for your next favorite game fellow platformer sickos? Here it is!

Starting to get some really nice print-ey results:

Experimenting with more complex ink (gradients and fluorescence with transfer patterns):

Testing out some water:

A better version:

Working with a theremin player to give our next game Rebounder a western-but-make-it-sci-fi spin. Give it a listen.

Result of yesterday's work, but in the game now. Logan's line rendering system really brings the room together.

Character dialogue portrait for our new game. The portraits in Rebounder are 3d and then run through a million steps to get them looking like print in-game. Here I'm just testing the rig and seeing what kinds of expressions I can get.

Inspired by #kaizo shell hacks like @shaoshao-smw.bsky.social's incredible Baron of Shell, we're working on a shell-like game. Hopefully we can build something that makes the joy of shell jumping more approachable.
