In Dreambrush, paint that you use for combat can give effects to mobs and objects it covers!

Ex: Yellow shocks things, blue freezes things solid, and green sends things aloft for a few seconds!

I can't wait to show off the new goodies in the game since I moved engines.🎨 #gamedev #godot #pixelart

Let's start a campaign to add the tag "Arcade Puzzle" to games like Tetris, Lumines, Puyo Puyo, Petal Crash, etc on Steam. These games get lumped in with great but completely different genres of puzzle games like Portal and sadly sidelined. Steam users have the power to carve out this niche!

I'm glad 2025 is behind me. It had some real tough moments but also some real gems as well. Hope to make 2026 filled with a lot more gems! 🎉

Reflecting on 2025, I really wouldn't have been able to survive such an utter shitshow of a year if not for all the friends I've made in Japan and abroad. I'm so greatful to know such great pals.

So far this trip to France and the UK was just what I needed after this long challenging year. Been a great time exploring with my wife and catching up with friends. 🗼🎄🇬🇧

Me and @codestarcreates.com took a visit to the Centre for Computing History @computinghistory.org.uk

I've reviewed the queue of sprites on @spriters-resource.com for 20+ years, but it looks like they gave the curator role to somebody else!
