Fall Away prints #indiegame #gamedev coolbobgames.itch.io/fall-away

Recently, I was actually working on a completely different side project where I encountered this glitch. I found it kinda beautiful... #indiegame #gamedev

The description to this explains a couple things about CoolBobGames and why I haven't posted in a while www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D8e... #indiegame #gamedev

2026 marks the end of a challenge I started in 2022! 🎉 To get good at gamedev, I challenged myself to release one game every week of 2022, month of 2023, season of 2024, and to make one year-long project for 2025. I fell a bit behind mid-2023 so I'm still making that last game! #indiegame #gamedev

For Christmas, I've decided to release some development builds, tests, and prototypes from my game Fall Away! You can play how much the game improved from its original prototype, Spring Climb. Happy holidays! coolbobgames.itch.io/spring-climb #indiegame #gamedev

#possiblyfortygames The new thing I'm making won't be done until next year, but I'll have some old stuff up on the itch before 2026.

Bouncy #indiegame #gamedev #fortygames

Happy Halloween! Behold this terrifying unfinished prototype... #indiegame #gamedev #fortygames

She's getting ready to join you on an adventure! ⛏️ The Ana Spelunky Youtooz plush will be dropping November 11! #Spelunky #Spelunky2

Cave exploring is about to get more cuddly... 💛 #Spelunky

Have I been here before? #indiegame #gamedev #fortygames

What is this? A 2D platformer about a frog escaping a lab by pulling switches, pushing boxes, and jumping over acid named "Frog Escape"? store.steampowered.com/app/3344450/... I would like to point out that this came out 7 months after Frog Escape 3... #notfortygames #notfrogescape

I made a thing coolbobgames.itch.io/fall-away/de... #indiegame #gamedev #notfortygames

I was reusing the code for the switches in the Frog Escape games today and noticed that something was being called weirdly... Then I remembered that was the first Unity script I ever wrote! Maybe you'll see those switches again soon... #indiegame #gamedev #fortygames

If I don't feel like posting updates on here, it's because development is going poorly. However, if I haven't had time to post updates on here, it's because development is going well. #indiegame #gamedev #fortygames

I'm trying my best to stick to these 24 colors. #indiegame #gamedev #fortygames

In exactly 100 days I will have completed the first draft of the final CoolBobGame. See you there. #indiegame #gamedev #fortygames

Feel the fun of the fall feature in Fall Away. www.youtube.com/watch?v=exI3... coolbobgames.itch.io/fall-away #indiegame

The Fall Away OST is up on YouTube! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... The songs are treated as collectibles in-game, so I'd prefer you listen to them from the menu there. coolbobgames.itch.io/fall-away #indiegame

I'm back from vacation, and I've already started working on the next game. It'll be the final CoolBobGame. #indiegame #gamedev #fortygames

Now that my free indie game Fall Away is finally out, I wrote a pretty long devlog reflecting on the whole development and the game's design. You can read that here: coolbobgames.itch.io/fall-away/de... #indiegame #gamedev

heyhey guys. i drew some unlockable screen borders for this, you can check it out if you want >w>

I just released my game Fall Away for free on itch! It's a 2D platformer where you climb up a single tall level. It has unique abilities for you to master that I haven't seen in other platformers, like a silk trampoline and a teleporting kite. coolbobgames.itch.io/fall-away #indiegame #gamedev

My new game, Fall Away, now has an Assist Mode in case anyone playing needs it. After 6 months of development, the game will finally be released tomorrow, July 31st, for FREE! See you then. #indiegame #gamedev

Here's one last video of my game Fall Away, releasing soon! This is layer 7 of 8, where you have every key ability in the game! The abilities are all very unique and powerful but tricky to wrap your mind around. The rest of the game acts as practice for this final gauntlet... #indiegame #gamedev

I've been working on some TV screens for the fourth "layer" of Fall Away! There are eight layers in total. This layer has a new teleporting kite ability and a digital friend who helps you learn to use it! #gamedev #indiegame

My last post showed the second ability in my new game, Fall Away, and here's the third! It's a grappling hook sticky hand! It's really hard to use at first, but once you master the aiming, you can do crazy things with it! #indiegame #gamedev

Wow, I haven't shown this game in a while. It looks completely different now... Here are some bouncy strings from several months ago, now with a new art style! #indiegame #gamedev

Lots of Tanks 3D is like Doom. Here's a video on that: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGDq... coolbobgames.itch.io/lots-of-tanks-3d #indiegame

Collect as much corn as you can in Chicrook: Puzzling Playground! Here's a gameplay video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0CM... coolbobgames.itch.io/chicrook-3 #indiegame

Chicrook: Puzzling Playground finally released on December 14th, 2024! Here's everything that happened during the last two months of development. #indiegame

Here's what happened to Chicrook 3 back in November! #indiegame

I'm currently working on a game where you can use a sticky hand to climb up a building! #indiegame

Continuing where I left off on the Chicrook: Puzzling Playground retrospective devlogs! #indiegame

Here are some pictures from when I made the starting town for Chicrook: Puzzling Playground. #indiegame

I've been working on a new game! It's a vertical 2D platformer with metroidvania elements, like power-ups, but the only backtracking you'll be doing is falling... ...a lot. #indiegame #gamedev

In the corner of the map of Chicrook: Puzzling Playground, I hid the baby octopus my old jam game Live Platform. Try and get here in game! #indiegame

I took a lot of pictures while developing my game Chicrook: Puzzling Playground. Here are a few from the first few days! #indiegame

The gas cans in Forklift Fever are from my mini game Gas Rush Deluxe! Something weird happens to them on level 17... #indiegame

I'm pretty sure Forklift Fever is the only game where you play as a forklift's wheel. #indiegame

Laser pointer or explosive medkits in Lots of Tanks 3D? #indiegame

Beating a Frog Escape level is satisfying. You keep finding switches and flipping them to reveal new paths with new switches until you have the whole level open to you and the only path left unexplored leads to the exit. #indiegame

Orbat was a 3D test I made. I wasn't great with graphics, so I tried to give it a kind of "surreal" aesthetic #indiegame

These cute wooden sawblade enemies in Frog Escape 3 are called Buzzaps! Pulling them around feels fun. Just watch out for their blades! #indiegame

I like to keep my older projects up online, even if they're a lot lower quality than my newer stuff, because the amount I improve between games says more than the isolated quality of a single one. #indiegame

For a third solution, ride on the stone with the parachute. Most of these alternate solutions aren't intentional, but I keep them in if they're less obvious than the official solution.

I forgot to mention that both games also have no written instructions. In Locked On, you have to learn to use 3 types of lasers and fend off the sea creatures all on your own. This makes you feel stranded at the bottom of the ocean and gives you a personal bond with the main mechanics. #indiegame

Forklift Fever is a score-chasing arcade 3D platformer about collecting gas to fuel a forklift that destroys the level! Get the global high score! Get the ending! ...Wait, isn't it endless? coolbobgames.itch.io/forklift-fever #indiegame #luckynumber33
