I got a real life-sustaining jolt out of systems I meticulously balanced creating a procedural moment of gameplay so horrific that a streamer was fully convinced the game was rigged and he'd tripped a scripted event.
A PSA FOR SPACE WARLORD BABY TRADING SIMULATOR

A lot of the levels in Towerbolt start from simple and quick level drawings. Here's a timelapse process videos of one of those drawings!

Towerbolt has over 150 floors, each designed to be bite sized, yet challenging. Short levels keeps the gameplay loop snappy and lessens the sting of death when you need to retry a level a lot when things get tough.

It's been a while that I haven't post an pixel art illustration there but here it is.
Hope I could keep it up and continue to experiment new things with pixel art!

In Towerbolt, being recklessly fast is more important than being careful or precise. It's okay to make mistakes, as long as you're fast!

The general feeling of a full picture ALWAYS matters more than the small details within it. When working on a piece of art, always take time to look at your work zoomed out to see if it's working from a distance, you usually find things to fix looking at art this way (especially with proportions)
ARTISTS: quote with some random art advice!!
