Hadrian's Wall is a massive superstructure

It takes an array of different workers with different skill sets to keep this 117km megastructure from collapsing in on itself

Each has a weakness to be exploited

Deployable ladders are a useful tool within Hadrian's wall

But be aware of the workplace dangers when misused!

Took part in this year's GMTK Game Jam with 5 friends, two of which are from @item42.bsky.social We ended up making "Anadrome" defaultsound.itch.io/anadrome-gtm... Pretty happy with what we managed to achieve! #godotengine #godot #indiedev #gamedev #gmtk

We tried our hand at the @gamemakerstoolkit.com game jam along with @defaultsound.bsky.social and made Anadrome.

You are a marble stuck in an infinite loop.

Reveal a liminal frontier fraught with recursive puzzles

The DEFICIT demo has been updated with some big changes!

Oversight Officers now have a little more self-preservation in mind; they will block and strafe around you during melee combat - along with a bunch more!

4 shots, 4 totally different locations in DEFICIT. Claustrophobic metal corridors and assembly rooms push out into open hinterland. And it's all Steam Deck friendly.

Even the highly-strung Oversight Officers need some caffeine-addled downtime.

Arcade cabinets deliver some seriously punchy canned brew to anyone who can beat the high score.

DEFICIT isn't just claustrophobic corridors: our imsim-like shooter opens up into a moonlit plateau of armoured buggies and vertical demolition.
