for those who don't know, LOVE ETERNAL is the game i made with friends; it took us 8 years to make, and i'm very proud of it. it's a gravity-flipping precision platformer with a surreal horror narrative that takes some very big swings. check it out if any of those descriptors appeal

📝 brlka.com/posts/2026-0... new blog post! this one's about designing "avoiders", the term i've been using for all my tiny arcadey games about dodging obstacles. imo these are really underrated design exercises, and i'd love to see more people give making them a shot (esp. since they're so easy!)

i want to drive the design of this tool around actual use so i'm making a game alongside it. really addictive to flip back and forth between tool and game and feel the two grow organically around each other

‪i updated my blog post on getting started with haxepunk! here's my pitch: i consider it to be the platonic ideal of a playful, expressive, and deep game-making tool. if you know how to code a little bit, you can make any kind of 2D game in it very quickly. 📜 brlka.com/posts/2022-0... 📜

a fun movement spice i like to sprinkle on my platformers is to make the velocity cap on the x axis slightly higher in the air... it incentivizes jumping all the time, which adds a fun challenge of traversing the landscape optimally by subdividing it into the fewest number of jumps
