Warning! I’m currently implementing some of the feedback from the first playtest.
One request (among many) was to get a visual warning before the gnome shoot. A quick fix! As a bonus, the falcon now gets a warning too. End of warning!

First guerilla playtest at a friend’s birthday party. Findings: nobody reads text, snails get collected instead of jumped over, and everyone dies (way too) fast! Plenty of room for improvement! (The chocolate cake was delicious, btw)

I worked on the score and message system for my (not-so-small-anymore) mini-game. There’s now a countdown at the start, a silly remark when you crash, and praise plus a big bonus for reaching the finish line.

Useful: My game now shows miniature icons of the selected upgrade cards in the HUD.
Not useful, but fun to look at: the new level indicator starts fluttering when you go fast on your hobby horse.

Hooray, my game now has a working stamina bar and tiny - almost invisible - numbers that show bonus and penalty points! Better not ask how long it took …

This. But also, remember that passion alone doesn't pay the bills. Most indies underprice their games, are ignored by algorithms, undersold, some even unfairly blocked from selling... So check that your money actually moves in the direction you want people surviving and making things.

What a lovely idea for the first PICO-8 Advent Calendar game “Cat-astrophe”! <3

I’m currently reworking some of my older pixel art animations and adapting them to the 9:16 format. With the T-Rex animation from 2015, I just couldn’t resist adding sound effects. You know … immersion and all that.

GameTank: a true 8-bit homebrew console shaped like a bright blue tank – and without HDMI. That’s pure punk! The developer’s promo video is absolutely worth watching and genuinely entertaining. Made me laugh!

A bit off-topic, but I only recently stumbled across the syfy TV series “Dark Matter” (2015–2017). It completely flew under my radar. Great story, gritty vibe, shady characters - love it!

After 10+ years, I finally updated my Itch.io page with my first (and only) game from 2014. If you’re into old-school platformers - and don’t mind 4:3 and a Flash Projector - you can now download Baby Mummy’s Curse for PC. It’s free!

Sawblades are always a good idea! Just lying in the middle of the path, moving back and forth like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
Maybe I’ll add one more obstacle, but I think I’m ready to start working on perks and upgrades.

Completely revamped the title font today. Went for something blockier and more readable - the old ornate version looked nice but had an awkward word layout. To be honest, the ridiculously long game title is to blame!
