Okay! I wasn't expecting that!
We just got the 5th spot on #newgrounds "Best of September"! I've been super happy with the way it has been received overall, and I'm now (almost) sure that I will be making a full release on Steam.
Super hyped!

Ive got a lot of feedback for my game, which has been really good! There are more typos than Id like to admit, but no game crashes! Im currently compiling them to do a small patch soon. The rest of recommendations I'm writing down for maybe something down the line #pico8 #gamedev

Late to the party, but not too late to share a good post to remind people to take it slow and one step at a time.

Been really happy with the reception of the game so far, feel very happy to be now on the other side of the finish line.

Finally, the project is done! In less than 24 hours, the game will be out on Itch.io and lexaloffle.com. It has been quite a journey, but we got to the finish line! #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

Project is officially feature complete! Only more content needs to be added at this point. Currently working on a test version to start playtesting and balancing. Very exciting times. #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

Long Time, No Update. Project's on full steam, new art, more items. Soon, closed testing. Exciting times.
ALSO PSA: please, backup your files. My HDD failed on me 4 days ago, and I'm rebuilding this project from a 2 month old build. Take this as the call to do it. #pico8 #gamedev

As part of having a better flow work on formatting items, I made this "tool" to display them. Felt a little boring so I made a cool, tweetcart style graphic. I might end up using it on the game. #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

Currently experimenting with enemy speed/hp. Two stats tweaked and it feels like a different game. Might consider it for a different difficulty. #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

Self Ignite? Charge "If Ignited"? Tricky to make work. You might need more hitpoints. More items being added, and I've got so many more items coming in. #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

Well well well, an update?
Had to go under a major code restructuring of game states to be ported to chained events. Finally bit the bullet... But hey! This means ill be updating about both my current projects as I work on them!

Well, I got sidetrack, but hey, this is what is coming out of it. Its a single stick, score attack game on an Akira elevator which is a one way trip to redemption. As always, made in #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

It its the time for the frog, the frog and the well, the well and the will, the will and the soup. "Froglegs" is out. A new platformer for #pico8 played with two buttons. Easy to learn, easy to fall. Play it on lokistriker.itch.io/frog

Took a day off but back a it. I decided to add an "level up/upgrade" system, as well as enhancing the choose menu.
On other news, I'm about to wrap up another project I was working on, so keep on the look out for it on itch.io and here. #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

We got the item pickup setup, refined the UI some more in preparation for the active item. Currently working towards on what will be basically the pre-alpha of the game. Just to test around with, make enemy builds, determine balance. #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

Improved telegraphing, speed selector, button for backpack, and a bit of procedural background with classic circles and fillp's. Been working a lot on items on the background, very excited to start showing more of them.

Been making a lot of items, been trying to come up with synergies and strategies to have variance from run to run. That being said... Sniper Rifle #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev
