Taking a break from last-min holiday shopping to just check in with y'all and ask: have you wishlisted GO PHISH yet? It's our premier new roguish-debtbuilder! It's on Steam! It's got cards, and stress, and dubious moral choices! store.steampowered.com/app/3909150/... #indiedev #indiegame

Pretty sure I'm on the naughty list because I hacked Santa... #indiegame #indiedev #wishlist #christmas #GOPHISH

For #screenshotsaturday let's have a look at most of hacking sequence in Go Phish! Here I've got just basic suits equipped but I'm taking advantage of a few programs to sway my chances. #indiegame #indiedev #roguelites #cardgames

Sometimes when you aren't hacking in GO PHISH someone will come knocking at your door. Hopefully they're nice! #gaming #hacker #cardgames #indiegames #indiedev

Hey #TeaseYaGame we're making a hacking themed card battler based on Go Fish! Step into the shoes of a poor graduate with a big rent bill, and phish/hack people to try to avoid eviction! #indiegame #indiedev

Putting this out there for all of you would-be hackers and card game aficionados that haven't seen our game announcement yet! Wishlist GO PHISH on Steam now! store.steampowered.com/app/3909150/... #indiegames #indiedevs

Thought I'd show off the buildcrafting you can do in Go Phish! Managed to put together this combo where I could do nearly 100 damage from an Ace (usually only 14 damage). Also there's a bug in this video, hopefully you don't notice? #indiegame #indiedev #roguelite #cardgames

whenever we have a team meeting about new features for Go Phish

We've started up a new Discord server where we'll be posting about GO PHISH development and sharing sneak peeks! It'll also be the first place to hear about future playtests. If you're excited for GO PHISH, you should join! #indiegame #indiedev discord.gg/8KxSYJ4AUp

For screenshot satur/sunday here's a look at the Deck Customisation screen in GO PHISH! Inspired by the idea of a cyberpunk cyberdeck, the Deck in GO PHISH is a small device that you customise with Suits, Plugins, and Programs. The art is still in dev so just a greybox sneak peek for now! #indiegame

It's the first day of #devmas We announced our game Go Phish last week! In a nutshell the game is about phishing and hacking folks (with Go Fish) to take their money, all to pay rent and not get evicted. Please wishlist it on Steam and support our development journey! #indiegame #indiedev #gaming

Can a hundred thousand people please wishlist our game please and thank you 😉🙏😤 store.steampowered.com/app/3909150/... #indiegame

Our team is feeling SUPER energised after being in @frostygamesfest.com Mini yesterday! Hello to all of our new followers, thank you for looking at/wishlisting/following Go Phish on Steam. It's really gratifying after all of our work so far! We can't wait to show you more of the game! #indiedev

Thank you to all the incredible ANZ-based developers who took part in our first Frosty Mini showcase today, and shared such wonderful announcements! What a beautiful line-up 👏🏼

A banger showcase of Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand games

GO PHISH is a hell of an elevator pitch for a game that was announced at the Frosty Mini Showcase. @cosmicsoupgames.com checkpointgaming.net/news/2025/12...

I am immediately all about EVERYTHING Go Phish seems to be doing. It's like CloverPit, but you play Go Fish while phishing people in order to pay your rent as the walls of your apartment slowly close in on you. Yes yes yes yes yes.

played an early demo of this - really tense, eerie & claustrophobic. stuck in a literally shrinking bedroom & hacking to survive (from @doctorears.bsky.social)

We've been working really hard on this indie game, it's fun and addictive and also a little bit dark and narrative-y. If you could spare a wishy that would be delishy. Thanks also to @frostygamesfest.com for letting us announce in the showcase!

We're so excited to properly announce our first game, GO PHISH! A tense, exciting rogue-ish debtbuilder based on the classic card game Go Fish! WISHLIST NOW ON STEAM! store.steampowered.com/app/3909150/... #indiedev #indiegame #steamgames #indie

The Frosty Mini from Frosty Games is live tomorrow!!! Make sure you watch live at 8am AEDT/10am NZT/1pm PT, there are going to be a lot of amazing Australia and New Zealand-made games - including our project ;) you can find the stream over here: bit.ly/frostymini #indiegames #indiedev #showcase

26 games, 30 minutes. Frosty Mini is TOMORROW! ☀️🍦 Catch the showcase live on our YouTube and Twitch channels. Expect surprise reveals, announcements, and updates! 🔴 YouTube: youtu.be/Ji17SMaOtvg 🟣 Twitch: twitch.tv/frostygamesf...

In our Go Fish roguelite, you play as a hacker trying to make rent. Existing in your apartment can be tough though... the more stressed you get, the more the walls close in as the room shrinks. This can cut off access to vital tools if you're not careful!!! #roguelite #indiegame #indiedev

kia ora gamers!! 🐥 we have a BIG (bird) ANNOUNCEMENT happening next week at the Frosty Mini showcase, you really don't wanna miss this one!! 🍦🌞

The latest issue of Multiplier is a real treat, as I chat with @hellomisspotter.com ahead of this month's @frostygamesfest.com stream www.multiplier.au/is-the-world...

In our Go Fish roguelite, instead of playing with Clubs/Spades/Hearts/Diamonds, you instead play with a whole host of different equippable suits with different abilities. #indiedev #indiegame #roguelite

Make sure you tune in to the Frosty Mini next week! #indiegame #indiedev #showcase

Still laughing that someone called the game Hacklatro in a YouTube comment. It's nice to be compared, I guess? #indiedev

Thanks very much to James for what was an educated and thoughtful interview. As advocates of building a sustainable game development industry in Aotearoa New Zealand, this was a real pleasure to share these insights. www.theguardian.com/games/2025/d...

Someone commented on our YouTube channel just a single word: "hacklatro". We didn't set out with Balatro as a goalpost when we were deciding what game to make. We just thought it would be interesting to see what it would be like to layer new gameplay mechanics onto Go Fish! #indiegame #indiedev

We're making a Go Fish roguelite! #indiegame #roguelite #gofish #debtbuilder

Is Quakes too powerful for our Go Fish roguelite??? #deckbuilder #indiegame #gofish #roguelite #gaming #indiedev

We're thrilled to announce our co-hosts for the upcoming Frosty Mini showcase! ☀️ @zigarot.live @galaxyaus.bsky.social @shayehayes.bsky.social @pogstream.bsky.social and tealful Joined by host @hellomisspotter.com! Tune in Dec 9 8am AEDT / Dec 10 1pm PT

Echoes is one of the collectable suits in our Go Fish #roguelite #gofish #deckbuilder #indiegame #gamedev

There are two decks in our Go Fish hacking game, yours and the enemy network's. Custom suits in each deck can dramatically change how the game plays! #indiedev #devlog #deckbuilding #indiegame #gaming

Just added a new suit to the game. "Quakes" shuffles the communal card pool. It's a dynamic but risky suit to use, as it could tee up the perfect Four Of A Kind for both you and your opponent. I wonder if there will be something that synergises with this? 👀 #indiedev #devlog #screenshotsaturday

Make sure you're watching the @frostygamesfest.com Frosty Mini on December 10th! We're so stoked to be a part of it, and we have something *extremely cool* to show you! Tune in at 8am AEDT / 10am NZDT to see us along with some other awesome ANZ games!! #indiedev #gamedev

Classic Go Fish is a pretty simple game, but in our go fish hacking game we've created dozens of suits of cards that all have unique abilities that change how the game is played. #indiedev #devlog #deckbuilders #cardgames #gofish

We've been quietly doing some massive UI iteration over in our neck of the woods, pretty happy with how it is shaping up! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

We are VERY EXCITED to be in the mix of this year’s national round of funding! We’ll have more to show off in the next few weeks 😈 #indiedev

Our game is "what if Go Fish was a card-battler where you hack into people's accounts to steal enough money to pay your rent" #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Slow Mons, an Australian musician and friend of mine - just put out a new track and I was lucky enough to get to do the music video for it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=glFa... I got a lot of creative joy in splicing the archival footage together and trying to find a story in the sound and image.

worked on some main menu buttons last night #indiedev #gamedev #riveUI #userinterface

If you fail too many hacks in a row, the lighting grows angry and the room grows(shrinks?) more claustrophobic... #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev

We've been working at zhuzhing up some of our UI animation, here's a WIP look at our new hacking boot up animation! What do you think? #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

For #screenshotsaturday we thought we could show off the WIP UI for our hacking game as it is so far. Whenever you're hacking someone, you'll have to multi-task between dialogue with your target + the hacking sequence where you're trading numbers with the network you're hacking #indiedev #gamedev

I've on the UI for our hacking game, this is the current "health bar" design #ui #indiedev #gamedev #rive
