Hi #screenshotsaturday! This little green creature is one you will come across a few times in Microvania. They're not exactly aggressive, so I wonder if they're worth attacking... Wishlist -> tinyurl.com/pac9j3su #indiegamedev #metroidvania #pixelart

i dont get to shout out canberra-made games very often, but microvania is out soon and i love it. its stripping metroid back as far as it can go. 160x90 resolution, super tight controls, its great.

I've been adding more content to the full version of Microvania. Here's a quick look at a new enemy. The Hopper will randomly jump around, and can stick walls and ceilings. Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3114890/... #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #metroidvania

Microvania is a small metroidvania, where you get lost, find upgrades and hidden areas, while trying to avoid aggressive (and passive!) enemies. Demo is on Steam. Full game out early 2025. Wishlist now: store.steampowered.com/app/3114890/... #wishlistwednesday #indiegamedev #metroidvania #pixelart

Here's one of the first tests I made for a waterfall effect in my game Microvania #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

My some made a trailer for his youtube audience of Dino Space Station youtu.be/y9thbtFX3FI #unity2d #loveindies

It wasn't too hard, but I'm pretty happy with the results of my custom rule tile that can generate a brick-laying pattern. And TIL this is called a running bond, or stretcher bond 😅 #pixelart #gamedev #indiegames
