starting to really hit me that i'm about halfway done with my next commercial release 😊 #Shplief

An image of twelve 64x64 icons, each intended to represent a word. The objects are: Shark, Diamond, Sponge, Frame, Slingshot, Chainsaw, Camera, Dart, Puzzle, Whisk, Trident, Hike (Hiker? hm maybe that last one's not real intuitive)

if YOU can identify at least two of these icons

then congrats: YOU will be ready for Shplief!

An in-development screenshot (cropped) from budget puzzle game Shplief, depicting several letter-icons on the left side of the image (C, Q, N, T, V, other partials) while the right side of the image has clusters of small creatures like some beetles, some spiders, some bees, a moth, some ants, etc.

*sigh* just found a whole bunch of bugs in one of the puzzles smh

#Shplief

An array of icons, each 64x64 pixels in size, each intended to convey a single word. Common, easy-to-recognize objects (such as a hot dog, arrow, wine, crayon, spoon, glue, giraffe, penguin, baseball, pill, etc.) are represented, along with a handful of others that might not immediately be grasped (kick, wolf, birdhouse, rock, lighter, etc.).

VIVIFY VISUAL VOCABULARY!!

(i don't think all of these are going to make the cut, but if *you* feel like you can identify most of these icons as the single word they're supposed to represent -- then YOU are ready for Shplief!)

#Shplief

Screenshot from Shplief, an indie game in-development, showing icons for the number 6, a lightning bolt, an axe, and a larger icon for a rubber ducky. This sequence will, in all likelihood, not end up in the released game.

WELL WELL WELL

IF IT ISN'T SIX LIGHTNING AXE BIG DUCKY

#Shplief

Four 64x64 pixel icons of an ant, a tank, a cookie, and a chair.

Can you tell which item is the ant and which one is the chair?

How fast can you find the cookie?

If the "Special Rules" of the game told you not to touch the tank...

... would you still touch the tank?

Shplief is coming. You might as well start preparing for it.
