Ever want to climb a mountain, but lack the training and gear? There's a climbing simulation game that offers a thrilling experience from the safety of Audio Director Martin Stig Andersen and Lead Sound Designer Lukas Julian Lentz made climbing adventure game 'Cairn' (developed and published by The Game Bakers) an exhilarating sonic experience. Find out what sound they used to represent the 'voice of the mountain,' why the foley team at Skywalker Sound needed a mini excavator for their work on Cairn, what pinecones have to do with ice climbing sounds, who vocally performed all of the bird sounds, what Climbot and airplanes have in common, and so much more!

Beat Cocoon. One of the most visually stunning and fun puzzle games I have ever played. 😊 Super satisfying to figure out puzzles and the whole atmosphere felt so unique and alien. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy puzzle games. 😃

We launched Cocoon: Design Works last week & I wanted to highlight a few things, as it's been one of my fav projects to work on! Firstly, shout out to the author @rachelwatts.bsky.social who has done an incredible job compiling hours of interviews & had already written the entire book before launch!

ICYMI yesterday. The book's already in fantastic shape – @rachelwatts.bsky.social combines fascinating dev testimony with her own Thinky Games expertise and the result is an elegant, insightful deep dive inside this enigmatic puzzler. And (not on BlueSky) designer Nikki's work here is *beautiful*

A 140 milestone is within reach! Just 4 more reviews to hit 2,000(!) user reviews. Super proud of this little game. I honestly don’t think I’d be an independent developer today if I hadn’t made 140.

Pretty intense run! It's been a few years since I proper played THOTH - what a strange artsy arcade game that became 😅 Both THOTH and 140 is 40% off on your new Switch. www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

Can confirm - '140' is perfect on the new Switch. I am super biased obviously, but I think '140' manages to feel as unique and different today as it did when it came out in 2013.

The very last thing I (personally) added to COCOON was making the tiny fish in this scene react to when you explode the amber. This detail still makes me happy when I see someone play the game, although I am sure no one notices 🙃
