Adam Bromell @adambromell.info · 11/09/2026What're some games out there whose visual restraints define the art style? I'm hesitant to say 'minimal art style' here but if that helps, consider it. Games like Mini Motorways, SPACEPLAN, Sunflowers, many .io type games (Slither.io Agar.io especially). 100
Adam Bromell @adambromell.info · 23/08/2026I want a companion game to Big Walk that is the Big Hang and its just a small area made for hangin' with a bunch of social toys and things to chill on. I'd host every work call and 1:1 catch-up in there. 041

Adam Bromell @adambromell.info · 13/08/2026Finished Big Walk with my gaming group yesterday. Best of that genre we’ve played, and one of my favourite games in decades. Play it end to end with the same group if you can. You’ll land on feelings games don’t usually give you, but life does. I woke up still emotional about what we did together 1166
Reposted by Adam Bromellcheese @cheeseplus.biz · 13/08/2026no co-op game has ever put all the players into the same emotional wavelength so intentionally and effortlessly - it feels as if we all took a psychedelic substance at exactly the same time, experiencing the same joy, and being closer for it 1133

Adam Bromell @adambromell.info · 03/08/2026Gotta catch ‘em all. There’s an app called Spot that pings you when a plane, the ISS, a train, or a tracked sea creature is passing nearby. React fast enough and you AR-snap a photo straight into your collection. I’m nearly on my 80th plane and it’s been four days. 020

Adam Bromell @adambromell.info · 13/05/2026What is an "indie game" in 2026? Studio independence? Budget? Team size? Execution quality? Style? All of the above? None of the above? 330

Adam Bromell @adambromell.info · 12/04/2026⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 A slow burn with stellar animation and art. I couldn’t help but think about Cairn when I watched. Mountaineering being the obvious connection but more so in how it unpacks obsession and dedication; if you’ve ever stubbornly needed to finish something at high cost(s), this will resonate. 030

Adam Bromell @adambromell.info · 08/03/2026The air warms up for a day and I’m immediately nostalgic for my younger days; bike riding to Blockbuster Video to rent a PS1 and some games with money I earned from my paper route.

Adam Bromell @adambromell.info · 13/02/2026Last week was a dream. After years of doodling and noodling, seeing people dive into these planetary expeditions as a space station crew was incredible.
