Do you like Metroidvanias? Then this is the game of your dreams!
You probably played Garbanzo Quest from @zachisagardner.bsky.social at a previous #ROCGameFest event, but now he’s back with his next game, Super Debt, and you can back it on Kickstarter right now!
What are you doing next weekend? If you’re going to be at #PAXEast, you should visit the RIT MAGIC booth and check out #ROCGameFest alum Unholy Roller!
We’ve been waiting for this one! #ROCGameFest alum Duck and the Land of Flightless Birds is now available to download on Steam!

Missed it at #MAGFest? A demo for #ROCGameFest alum 100 Rogues is now available to download through Steam!
Another #ROCGameFest alum spotted at #MAGFest and it’s 100 Rogues! Go play it!
Missed this last month, but #ROCGameFest alum Project Rope Tool has officially been rechristened Tetherpunk! And you can play it at #MAGFest this weekend!
#ROCGameFest alum Nair is always a fun one to go back to.
But if you’re at #MAGFest this Saturday, you’ll have the chance to compete against other attendees in a Nair tournament in the Arcade area!
Are you heading to #MAGFest? Then you should definitely pay a visit to #ROCGameFest alum Neon Deity Games and you should definitely play Bruisin Cruisers!
Who wants to go to Buffalo this weekend? #ROCGameFest alum 100 Rogues will be playable at Play Test Game Fest 5 on Saturday, December 6th!
New trailer for #ROCGameFest alum Australia Did It, which is coming soon from @aesthetic.games!
Can’t believe I almost missed this, but Deathstate is a huge part of #ROC game dev history!
Not only is it a great roguelike… not only did it do single-stick shooting years before Vampire Survivors… but it was also part of the inspiration for #ROCGameFest!
Did you try Darkrise at #ROCGameFest? The developers recently uploaded a new version of the demo to Itch!
Always happy to see new game conventions pop up!
Check out the Lake George Game Expo later this year and see #ROCGameFest alum @troystorygames.bsky.social. You’ll get another chance to play their excellent in-development platformer Messenger Mouse!
Tabulating the results from #RocGameFest 2025, here were the most popular player classes (measured by number of ribbons taken)
1. The Skellyman Scoundrel!
2. The Dinoman Bruiser
3. The Fairy Wizard
4. The Human Crusader
