Yes this video also shows my desperate sticker game on the much-hated Windows machine. The stickers themselves are great though. Thanks Triband, David Lynch and @beingbrin.bsky.social!
We're playing lots of demos as we get our own one ready to launch for Sparrow Warfare, and we want to share the best ones along the way.
Here's @martinpi.bsky.social playing PLUTO - a weird and wild demo with a super unique mechanic. Give it a try!

I got my usual - mayo, onion, peppers, a little coleslaw, spicy fillet - and the girl at the counter judged me
my game based on Ireland's favourite deli sandwich, the Chicken Fillet Roll, was praised by players and fellow devs for its unusual food focus & strong writing
if you wanna check it out, it's a free, text-based game with a branching narrative made in Twine
