As part of the Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant I mentored this developer on The Detective's Apprentice last year, and I'm incredibly proud and excited for this game 🤩💖 It scratches a real puzzle itch with complex but incredibly satisfying cases. It's something special and one to watch, for sure.

AAAAAAAND juicy animations and SFX to make it even more satisfying ❤️ Absolutely loving the game we’re making. Watching it come to life is amazing

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

Now the manticore needs some more bits of armors and a rider! #3dprint #nomadsculpt

hey this is one of the coolest puzzle games I've ever seen. It's like learning a new language and it's mind-bending and brilliant. I do know Syrenne (who worked on it) but I'll make it very clear I've bought this game on two platforms and will buy it on a third next week. Absolute masterpiece.

Huh we're going mildly viral on tikytok ✨

You like playing with your balls? You might like Ultrapool ✨ Im so good at marketing my game Pls wishlist :)

New Burn With Me trailer!!! It's such a joy to work on this game! Pure happiness from growing together with the game. Each month it looks and feels better and better, and, what can I say, I just can't wait to show even more — when it's time. #burnwithme

Forcing myself to post a lot of Ultrapool gifs I hope you don't get tired, folks. Mixing is a cool mechanic you unlock quite soon in higher difficulties. You can ask the bar guy to mix two of your pool balls together, and it creates a hybrid ball that has both ball's properties.

I played this when it was in the @developconference.com Indie Showcase and just fell in love with it. Each new mechanic it opens up is like a cute little toy for your mind 😊

My puzzle board game Herd will release next Tuesday, on December 9th. Be notified about the release: mailchi.mp/0ea8882f064d...

All written by the fantastic @ginaloughlin.com (who will want me to make a point that these are all still WIP 😅) but seriously can you believe Gina has made like 25 different songs criss-crossing so many different genres? (AND shoutout to the singers inc. close friends, Daisy and... myself 😂)

Look at me, I'm doing a marketing

I played this and I know the solution and reasoning of this and oh boy I'm also excited for people to try it
