I like homebrew games, pixelart and indie games. I try to help indie devs and content creator get in touch with my starter packs.

Hi, I'm Manu. I love retro indie games, platformers, and homebrew games (new games for old consoles).

I made several starter packs related to that. Check them out.

Interests:
#indiegame | #gamedev |
#homedrewgame | #retrogaming | #NES | #pico8 | #pixelart

Hope you all are having a nice day☺!

This #screenshotsaturday, a new special attack is born!

Hemi's down special is a more defensive skill, but one that can be charged up for respectable all-around damage!

When at full Aura, it also heals per units hit. Thisll be one of the only ways to heal in combat!

Haven't posted much progress lately, but I've been working hard on Steam page prep and haven't had much exciting stuff to show.
This Volt Blade is cool though. With special move limits turned off it's a nice zone clearing device for when I just wanna test some stuff out 😈

🧵PICO ASCII Jam Thread I guess

Gamejam time after a while and even using PICO-8. Join in this little fun project I came up with for the visual themes of the jam. But first, brainstorm time.

Tonight I finished up an indie game called #Grapplania. It was a really interesting precision platforming game, but also had a swinging mechanic that made it feel a bit like Castlevania meets Bionic Commando. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #IndieGame #PCGame #Steam #Retro #ModernRetro
