i only in the past year heard the unionization slogan "united we bargain, divided we beg", so sharing in case you havent heard it. its hard to misunderstand or argue with

Spooky Express is not only a perfect seasonal choice right now 🎃 , for me its the all-time best train-track-laying puzzle game (there are many!). Really elegant mechanics expressed super purely, and only as difficult as it needs to be. Really great.

I wrote an Intro to Puzzle Design article🧩 This covers the usual points I discuss with people who are working on their first puzzle game. Given how some concepts can be quite abstract, I think a written piece allows everyone to digest it at their own pace. www.ludipe.com/2025/08/18/i...

working on some bonfire peaks bugs this morning, this 'git blame' timestamp made me 😱

my daughter is watching The Last Unicorn, maybe you all know this movie but its new to me. holy moly look how good this is 😍

i just remembered @johnaugust.bsky.social and i considered the name Bird Play for Birdigo, which wouldve made bundling it with @gamemakerstoolkit.com's Word Play that much sweeter

Traji posted this yesterday but of course Bluesky deleted her account gofund.me/8bc2934b

I’m live on Twitch, babes!! I’m so excited to be playing the full release of Birdigo!! I absolutely adored this demo, and y’all know I can’t get enough Balatro-likes in my life! Huge thanks to @toboggan.work for the key! 🙏 twitch.tv/aspecificegg

Joining the Battle of the Scrabbalatros (games that combine Scrabble and Balatro) comes Birdigo by @toboggan.work and @johnaugust.bsky.social I'm surprised a roguelikes game could feel this welcoming and friendly. The birds are so cute too! store.steampowered.com/app/3264170/...

I've been playing so much Birdigo that I am... PS. absolutely love the game - thanks for making it @toboggan.work and @johnaugust.bsky.social!

Out now on PC, Birdigo is a word game by way of Balatro - and we can't get enough of it. Read more: www.gamespew.com/2025/07/bird...

Yesterday my 7-year-old son said: Tomorrow is Birdigo Day! And since we've logged 47.2 hours playing the DEMO alone, buying @johnaugust.bsky.social's delightful, relaxing, compulsively playable game had to be how we started our day today. store.steampowered.com/app/3264170/...

When you realise that someone else is making a very similar game to you, it can feel pretty demoralising... But then we ended up chatting to each other, shared codes, supported each other's launches, and put the games together into a Steam bundle!

Congrats to @toboggan.work and team on the release of Birdigo! To celebrate, we've made a bundle with Word Play, Wordatro!, and Birdigo - three awesome games about spelling words to score points - store.steampowered.com/bundle/57187...

Birdigo is out TODAY! 🃏 Balatro x Wordle with a dash of Scrabble ⭐ ‘My new favorite word game’ (PC Gamer) ❤️ ‘Glorious’ - (Finger Guns, 9/10) 🐦 Full of adorable birds store.steampowered.com/app/3264170/...
