I'm here

I was worried that the core mechanic of my next project might be technically impossible… but I just got it working in a prototype 🎉

Had ramen today… and it came with sushi on the side! 🍜🍣 Felt so “super Japanese” 🇯🇵✨

🔥

I might not be able to show any progress until the release...

It’s only been 6 days since I started using Chinese social media, and I’ve already passed my follower count on X

Isn’t a 71.5% clear rate for Öoo way too high!? For comparison, ElecHead had a 56.1% clear rate.

people often ask me, “What do you eat to come up with ideas like that?” The answer is 🍜

two years for a two-hour game!

先日の『Öoo』を開発した @namataka.bsky.social さんとのお話しがYouTubeに上がりました！ 三時間半という長丁場でしたが、いやあ！楽しかった！ Automated captions are on for EN viewers! I hope YouTube does an OK job with it lol youtu.be/CpbsNJVRD70?... Store store.steampowered.com/app/2721890/...

Finished Öoo.. what a fantastic game.

Top of SteamDB’s Hot Releases!? And the top 3 are all puzzle games! Does this mean everyone loves puzzles?

"Öoo" release celebration sale ends today!

👀 automaton-media.com/en/news/a-ma...

We reached our minimum sales goal within just 6 days of release! 🎉 Even with limited promotional power as a self-published title, we were able to achieve this thanks to everyone’s word of mouth and reviews. Truly, thank you so much!

The 100% bonus has ended!! It’s an absolute miracle that I was able to keep the bonus going up to 500!! Thank you so much for playing and even taking the time to leave a review!

100% “Overwhelmingly Positive” is insane!! Is this even possible!? I don’t think I’ll ever be able to top this in my lifetime!

Here's my review of Öoo by @namataka.bsky.social, a spectacular puzzle-platformer metroidvania, where the only thing preventing progress is your ingenuity. kotaku.com/ooo-review-m...

The game Öoo, for which I did the art, is now out! Please shower the cute caterpillar with love. Have fun! 🐛 #pixelart

I thought Öoo was harder than ElecHead, but it’s actually surpassed ElecHead’s 56.1% completion rate, reaching 64%! Does releasing an official walkthrough video make more people finish the game? At this rate, official walkthrough videos might just become the default for puzzle games!

one of the best things a videogame can do is to invent a new thing to be and then nudge you into understanding all the possibilities that come with being that thing. this game truly lets you be Öoo

CLEAR! Öoo is so cute & incredibly clever, as expected of @namataka.bsky.social 🤍 also another wonderful ost by @tsuyomi0508.bsky.social & pixel art by @hachinos.bsky.social !! an all-star team~

I've uploaded an updated version that adjusts a section which previously required some ridiculously precise inputs. My sincere apologies to those who have already cleared it and to anyone who spent a lot of time trying to get through it 🙇‍♀️ store.steampowered.com/news/app/272...

Jonathan Blow didn’t play through my previous game ElecHead to the end, but this time he actually finished my new game and I’m so happy about it!

it’s so good

Absolutely over the moon to get praised by a developer I’ve admired for so long!🤩

Maybe thanks to releasing the official walkthrough video, we’ve hit 200 reviews with zero negatives!

I think the original poster already deleted this thread, but honestly it was so bold I couldn’t help but burst out laughing 🤣

Less than an hour into the game it's every bit as good as ElecHead! It's not often I play a game which wrings so much out of its one core mechanic. Its puzzles constantly teach you how to do things you didn't realize were possible and it's all done without a single word. Super good!!!
