pr guy here who had dreams of being a games writer is a big fan of this Morsels review

been good to see that Morsels is finding folks in a busy time, learning to embrace its spiky and funky bits
🚨 MORSELS REVIEW 🚨

Would love to get some eyes on this! I know it’s an uphill battle posting about a game with a small footprint post-launch, but I think it’s worth making space for reviews like this.

Morsels is out now and Rock Paper Shotgun calls it "A heaping, triumphant landfill of a roguelike shmup, a 2D deluge of decay and joy."

I mean, what else do you need to know?

Only 3 days left until you start your own monster crew.

Collect Morsels, swap between them, and take on the clique of killer cats in this fast-paced creature-collecting roguelite.

While developing Artful Escape, our 3D artist Mikey, made an oven asset. It was a nice oven - the work of a true pro. He even put the knobs on. And that’s who we are at Beethoven & Dinosaur. We put the knobs on. Mixtape is almost complete, we’re just putting the knobs on. See you in 2026.

I reviewed Bounty Star for @ign.com. It is the most personal review I've written in a long time (maybe ever) and I'm very proud of it. It would mean a lot to me if you read it.

Full disclosure: I talk about being suicidal for two years in the opening because I had to. This one hit me pretty hard.
Bounty Star Review - IGN
This combination of mech combat and farming is equal parts compelling and tranquil.

I've been playing Cocoon and it is the most tightly designed game I have ever seen. Puzzles in layers upon layers, all interwoven all working in beautiful harmony. I've never seen anything like it. A work of genius.

LEGO Voyagers is a beautifully executed two-player LEGO-building adventure that leaves you wanting a bit too much more.

Went hands-on with @annapurna.com and @messhof.bsky.social's Wheel World a little while back and I posted some thoughts on the game over on WorthPlaying.

"...the way the bike in Wheel World moves and reacts just feels right."
