The Buck charm that comes with Cursed Cartridge works really well as a Christmas tree ornament 😄

It's so dumb it's kind of funny...
My Switch 2 won't let me download a free to play game, because I have already played it on my Switch 1.
Instead, it wants me to transfer my virtual game card for that game. So, now I have to charge my Switch 1 to tranfer my license for a free game 😑

It's a really short but cozy little platformer.
And it's only $3 on:

I've made a pixel grid overlay to make videos and screenshots from my games look more retro.
Already used it in my last post. But still not entirely sure whether it's just an unnecessary distraction 🤔

Looking for a spooky treat for your #gameboy? 🎃
How about Doomslinger Dungeon - a first-person dungeon-crawling rogue-lite shooter?
I built this one for #gbjam 2024 in around a week. But I still really enjoy playing this one myself 😊

This is something I've wanted to do for a long time: Give the cover images of my stuff on itch.io a consistant look.
Will more people play my games because of this? Probably not. But it makes me very happy 😄
