Made a little (de-)glitch toy with quadtrees: Quadraw: experiments.mariov.ch/quadraw/

And I am awed & delighted by Pocket Boss (pocketboss.ch), also from Playables. So much wit and care packed into this. Every "puzzle" is a finely-crafted joke, and one in particular made me blush when I realized what was I doing.

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

6-year-old: I want to play that kids game with the people again. Me: ...with people? What were they doing? 6-year-old: You... click the little white people to complete things! Me: ...complete things? That's lots of games... 6-year-old: NO!! THEY JUMP IN HOLES! Me: Ohhhh, you want the game KIDS!

We regularly get support requests that the sound of the game doesn't work on iOS without headphones. Turns out everyone who has this problem has the physical side switch set to "slient mode" and isn't aware of that, since many apps just ignore it. Are we supposed to *also* ignore it?

🚨 🚧 Maintenance alert! Finally got around to fixing our trusted Review Reader. 👍 iOS reviews should now work again 👍 Icons now appear when searching 👍 Links show previews when sharing reviewreader.playables.net ★★★★★

It's refreshing to know that this is the icon of an officially distributed Apple application in 2025. I really hope it will outlive the Liquid Glass era without any changes.

what a delightful little nightmare, 10/10 was absolutely dataviz triggered

I enjoyed cooking books for my Poket Boss, the new minimalist masterpiece by @mariov.ch / playables. It's a game in which you stoke flaccid growth charts and sculpt data like clay, and I honestly can't think of a more relevant concept for 2025.

This game has exceptionally good sound design. Ultra tactile and so responsive. Makes you forget that someone had to design this behaviour, that these aren't just physical objects that naturally make these sounds as you manipulate them.

This was great. Funnily enough, I felt like I was interacting with my boss from Day Repeat Day again.

Loved this! Amazingly playful!

finished this game, very fun! felt like i wasn't unemployed for like half an hour

For those wondering what's up with the Android version of Pocket Boss: It's still NOT available because it's unexpectedly stuck in Google Play review hell. Sorry for the confusing announcements, we assumed it's just a glitch but it actually is blocked. We're working on it (or better: Google is)!

Does anyone know how long it takes until a Google Play app shows up as released on the store? It's been 1.5h since it shows it as released in the dashboard, but it's still not available. Or is it? play.google.com/store/apps/d...
