Shmup! The second boss isn't wasting any time. The fight has barely started and the player is already getting overwhelmed. 😬 This could get messy... #ScreenshotSaturday #Shmup #BulletHell #IndieDev #GameDev store.steampowered.com/app/4282220/...

For a game about dinosaurs in space, watching players, I was really suprised at how invested everyone is in saving the cat! the first time a player abandons the cat in a level, man the feels. The relief when they find out that the cat followed to the next level is priceless #screenshotsaturday#cat

Little Robo Climber is a little score chasing arcade game inspired by Ice Climber on NES & Transformers on C64. I always thought I'd enjoy those games more if I were better at playing them, so I made this. #LittleRoboClimber #IndieDev #IndieGame #ArcadeGames #MacGaming

Playing for score is weird because in GUNVEIN a score of 3million is crazy high, but you'd get that in *one minute* of playing CRIMZON CLOVER where scores go into the TRILLIONS.
