Finally building a better intro/instructions screen for Dizzy Sheep Disaster: Ex! It used to be dense text. That text now lives on the e-reader cards!

Demo next week?

The bees have a scarier cousin, be afraid of hornets! They see you, and they want your fuzzy blood. You have to move quickly to stay safe.

Dizzy Sheep Disaster: EX is coming soon for your e-reader and phone!

Be careful of the bees! Bees follow the huge magnets chasing our sheep in Dizzy Sheep Disaster: EX. Time your moves carefully to avoid being stung!

Coming soon to your nintendo e-reader and phone!

Dizzy Sheep Disaster features a number of scary enemies that our magnetic sheep must avoid! Ticks are small, but will quickly end her journey. Be careful!

I’ve been working on packaging for Dizzy Sheep Disaster lately, here’s a prototype of the e-reader booster pack design!

The label art is a mockup pending final design from @mteegfx.com, who I know is gonna make it look amazing!

The amazing @mteegfx.com has been working on card designs for Dizzy Sheep Disaster: EX for the Nintendo E-Reader and I’m loving the results! We’re getting close to ready!

Not everyone has an e-reader, so I’ve been working on a web-based version of Dizzy Sheep Disaster you can play from a QR code or a link. It’s coming together well! #screenshotsaturday

Been quietly working on Dizzy Sheep Disaster lately. Here’s a winter stage showcasing the reverse direction button for #screenshotsaturday!

I'm still hard at work on my e-reader game, with hopes to release it by the end of this year! Lately the focus has been the web-based emulator. I want to make sure people without an e-reader still get a really fun experience

Sounds fun!

Dizzy Sheep Disaster is a new puzzle game for the Nintendo E-Reader (yes, the card scanner!) coming out later this year!

Bit of a nerdier #screenshotsaturday, I've been bumping up against space limits for Dizzy Sheep Disaster for a while now, so I borrowed a trick from Super Mario Bros. I put most of my level data into extra graphics space, saving me over a kilobyte of space for code!

Easing back into work on Dizzy Sheep Disaster by finally animating the reverse direction button. Going to try to do the same with the end-of-level switch next!

As a heads up, my e-reader cards are not business cards! If you took card 4/4 while you were at my booth by mistake, please return it!

Unfortunately I may no longer be able to give away a full/working set at the event.
April 5, 2025 at 11:43 PM
Ps: if you want to win the prototype, sign up in the room today! I’ll pick a random winner around 8pm

You don’t have to sign up for emails, I won’t send you stuff unless you agree :)

I’ll be set up all day in the VideoGameSage room at #MidwestGamingClassic! Come play Dizzy Sheep Disaster: Ex! Or play with Retro Puzzle Maker

We’re in room 102D!

I’ll be flying out to #MidwestGamingClassic early tomorrow, and I’ll have prototype cards for my game in hand!

I’m going to give away a set of prototype cards towards the end of the event, ask about it if you stop by!

I was recently able to add music from @humanthomas.bsky.social to Dizzy Sheep Disaster, and it really brings the game to life!

Come try it out at Midwest Gaming Classic later this week!

@mteegfx.com recently animated the main sheep sprite for Dizzy Sheep Disaster and I can't get over how much it adds to the game! ITS SO CUTE!

Fun news, I'll be at #MidwestGamingClassic in a few weeks!

I'm bringing a prototype of Dizzy Sheep Disaster, my puzzle game for the E-Reader, to the Homebrew area

I'll also have a setup for Retro Puzzle Maker, if you'd like to check that out!

Ooh I recently picked up a very similar mac! Though one of the caps almost immediately burst so its out of service for a bit 🥲. I love that era of computers so much!

I’m a fan of Power Pete, and wolfenstein 3d is good stress relief lately

I'm trying to post about my projects here more often - I've been working on a new game for the Nintendo e-reader! It's a full rework of Dizzy Sheep Disaster, featuring graphics from the ever-talented @mteegfx.com! Here's some WIP screenshots
