Welcome to a normal game. Press the JumpKey to Next a Jump and release it to Next a Spin.

If you like puzzle platformers and discovering secrets and want a holiday weekend treat, I can’t recommend Emuurom from @borbware.itch.io highly enough. Everything on every screen is there for a reason, and it’s just ridiculous how deep it goes. Impossibly dense and lots of fun.

i have this on my steam page :)

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

PlayStation book proofs are in and you guys are gonna LOVE it

This metroidbrainia has a Pokedex! @borbware.itch.io

So, I created small rooms for the dogs, and I connected them all through doors so they can hang out with each other. I know the dogs aren't real, but somehow it feels like I'm nicer to them if I do it this way.

During my self-imposed exile from Bluesky, in addition to playing Gradius, I also published a manifesto in case you didn't see.

Alternative Title for the New Video: “The End of Gameplay is a fascinating title filled with confrontational ideas about the future of the interactive medium and while I do have issues with it, I also have immense respect for it and agree with its broader points.” Check it: youtu.be/6qmt9LX8pTI

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"

maps! are fun to make

Emuurom by @borbware.itch.io is an utterly extraordinary metriodbrania with more hidden depths than the Mariana Trench. Writing about it has broken my brain. I feel a responsibility to convince you to play it: buried-treasure.org/2026/06/emuu... Please help out: www.patreon.com/c/buriedtrea...

okay, a full emuurom reviews; first, i'll give my criticisms: this game can be extremely annoying to platform in at times. there's weird physics puzzles that you occasionally have to do over and over, and if that would filter you, you're fucked however. holy fuck. holy fuck this game
