UPDATE: so the social media ban didn't happen in the way i thought it would. false alarm, i can still post and access the website. posting will continue as usual (meaning very sporadically and whenever i remember this account exists LMAO)

welp, that stinks. i may not be able to post here anymore very soon due to Australia's backwards social media ban law. despite the fact that i'm well over 18, if i want to protect my privacy, i may be severely limited in what i can actually do online, which means this might be it for the time being.

i think this is literally the only official merchandise that was ever made of soppingly wet depressed salesman barry

🧵 EXTREMELY obscure Halfbrick fact: On Halfbrick's old website from 2001, there is a gallery page with a single archive you can access which mentions a completely unknown game simply called 'Pillage'. This is the only page on their website that mentions this game, and it's unknown if this was-

page 22 from an issue of the Australian kid's gaming magazine 'K-Zone' published in June 2024 features a spot on the timeline of Garfield, including an official acknowledgement of the original 'Jon' comic strip, one of the first (that i know of, at least) since the strip's resurfacing in mid 2020.

weird Jetpack Joyride fact: similarly to the two uploads of the Shirt Sleeves rock opera, there are three separate versions of the Jetpack Joyride trailer Halfbrick uploaded that all have extremely miniscule differences between one another. here's a comparison of each just because.

super obscure Halfbrick fact: did you know that all the way back in 2001 when they were still primarily making licensed games, Halfbrick had a now lost JavaScript shooter game on their website called Defiant, and had plans of making more original games way before Fuzz & Rocket's development? long 🧵

obscure Jetpack Joyride fact: the current upload of the 'Shirt Sleeves' rock opera was uploaded on the 6th of October 2015, but a very little known fact is that this video was actually up on YT an entire year earlier back in 2014 on the 8th of May before disappearing. here's how i found this out. 🧵

interesting fact about the FN prototype: before the game was found, this Story By Osmosis page showed an image of the models that were used for the game's sprites*, including a tomato and a passionfruit model. however, these fruits appear to be absent from the game. 🧵
