Also here is a cool screenshot

I have a demo! GAARL is a single screen arcade-y platformer roguelike about climbing chains. My name ended up in the acronym (Gabe's Action Arcade RogueLike) but Pancelor also put a lot of work into this. It is playable in the browser, check it out! matthewlacker.itch.io/gaarl-demo

oh, is it KOLYDR-posting time?

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

sometimes we just wanna climb up things to see if we can do it, maybe to get a nice view, or to learn a new hiding spot. it's frustrating if every nook has "rewards" in discone, most paths are uncharted, and you will climb and parkour them with your friends #gamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

Today's games: 💽 ArchaeOS by Florence Smith Nicholls and @mtrc.bsky.social 🔟 Make Ten Deluxe by @pancelor.bsky.social 🔫 Abyss Vaulter by @sinclairstrange.bsky.social Please check out these awesome #IndieGames!! www.youtube.com/live/dP-g9Bg...

The original Make Ten is extremely good - like one of the best casual puzzle concepts I’ve seen in a decade. It’s as satisfying as Bejewelled. Excited to pick this expanded version up!

two-three-five!! it's great, check it out. a tiny little droqen experience, succinct and provoking

i really like "the end of gameplay" (releasing today), with a few caveats. i think if you approach it cynically, you won't like it. also, if you are hoping it will clarify what "kill gameplay" means, you will probably just become more confused. that said, i found it very beautiful and cute

It is time! Cattle Crisis has been just released on Itch. Thank you for sticking with me for such a long time. Enjoy! 🕹️ https://krystman.itch.io/cattle-crisis #pico8 #shmup #stg #arcade #indiedev

I remember our talk about how most games don't let you "turn to any page" like books do, while trying to decide how to give players all these new modes without it being overwhelming. In the end I put up some easily-vaulted walls just to organize and convey intent. like book pages! kill gameplay

although there is a sense in which May 11 could be said to be… May 10 Deluxe

New game: Make Ten Deluxe! Select numbers that add to ten, easy. Then try dozens of wild variants -- 35+ modes These are the most surprising, challenging, or otherwise delightful modes that I've made over the past year. Enjoy! $10 / free demo (-20% sale!) pancelor.itch.io/make-ten-del... #pico8

tired of games adding unecessary stealth missions for no reason? Well im not! STEALTH CROSSWORD is out now✨ ComputerJames.itch.io/stealth-cw 🧩6 mins of Stealth Crossword Action! 👑Two endings ('caught' and 'not caught') 💻Play in browser

a major issue with video games is that they produce a bunch of people who consider themselves brain geniuses for solving problems that were designed to be solvable. as a remedy, we should be making more games that are actively and irreconcilably hostile to the player. thank you

tiny new game: "poke!", an unwieldy match-3. the controls are admittedly overwhelming but what can I say, I like games that make your brain hurt. enjoy!(?) pancelor.itch.io/poke #pico8 #nokiajam

Yesterday we finished making our first game for Nokia 3310 Jam, a game jam where you're bound by the limitations of a very particular old phone. I loved the constraints, we could feel them empowering us! Go check it out: yngvarr.itch.io/coffee-to-go

continuing to enjoy @pancelor.bsky.social's pancelor.itch.io/make-ten although I suspect the fact that my top score is now 434 might mean I've been playing it a little too much
