it's #PitchYaGame time~ ❤️ this is Flowerdrops, a meditative 'physics puzzler' (a bit like Peggle!)

there's 150+ levels across over a dozen worlds, each with multiple visual themes, and tons of mechanics to discover!

available on Steam and Itch 🌹🌺🍀 s.team/a/3708530/

wasn't able to finish this during the 72 hour #LudumDare jam but I'm still hoping to release this prototype in the next few days!

it's a surreal "fake FPS" where you play as a (evil?) witch hunting for potion ingredients with a "magic wand" (aka literally a gun)

and here's the timelapse!

this was at a time where I was getting more confident in my figure drawing abilities. I went for a really freeform messy approach for the sketches and (I think) kept it all on one layer. the process is kinda fun to watch on this one

We ran into this exact issue when prototyping "Protagonist." The game is rendered to the arcade cabinet screen using a surface. Using some shader magic, we figured out a solution to fix GameMaker's weird texture warping (I hope we return to this project soon btw. it was rad)

Mosa Lina is *SO* good! A game that intentionally leans into the abstractness & exploits of 'immersive sim' mechanics. Solving a level often feels like you 'cheated the system' because you had to invent the solution yourself on-the-fly. Truly masterful game design work & 11/10 sound design💖

If you like Peggle and want something chill to play this weekend, check out my game Flowerdrops 🌹🌷🪻

There's 100 levels worth of goodies to discover. And it's completely free/PWYW! ♥️
