This was absurdly hard, had to leave out so many I thought were shoo-ins.

If you enjoy anything featured in this image you should play Doom Drop in the indie arcade at MAGFest (in 6 days!)

Jam organized by @arcadecommons.org and @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social ✨ As part of the jam participants also built their own version of the controller, this is our shoebox version by @sadlilrobot.bsky.social

The Flip Out Jam itch.io/jam/flip-out, with games made for a custom alt controller with five toggle switches, was such a blast. Play the jam games (including my annoying elevator operator simulator Up To Go Down) at MAGFest!

Added a new rare block that can help you get unstuck, inspired by the chain block from Lumines (but with its own unique flavor). Clip also featuring my biggest recorded combo to date. #indiedev #godotengine

Now with more juice and more importantly in a doom metal themed game, music! Some of the animations sync up with the beat, and a lead guitar gets added dynamically when you’re doing well. #indiedev #godot #doommetal

This is gonna be a blast! I’ll be running a high score competition in Doom Drop, winner gets this cute lil dark lord

One of my goals for my block puzzler was to allow a very high APM for skilled players. Dialing the action delay down to almost nothing for my attract mode CPU makes me think I may have succeeded

My doom metal/ritual sacrifice themed block puzzler is slowly coming along! #indiedev #indiegame #doommetal #GodotEngine

Great vibes at the @wonderville.nyc playtest night once again. Works so well as a mini deadline and for course correcting your game. Definitely getting happier and happier with how my little block puzzler is turning out

Having so much fun at @magfest.org @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social watching people play my new auto-battler Rock, Paper, Secrets (which uses mechanized curtains to hide/show state). Special thanks to @kleeb.bsky.social for all the mechanics help and @sadlilrobot.bsky.social for the beautiful curtains!

I wanna hear about more unintended game mechanic combos like this! In Speglar, there is a timing mechanic that gives the player an extra bullet if they shoot the moment after they’re fully charged. Another mechanic gives you a full recharge if you get hit with your own bullet. Add them together:

Just wrapped up the itch.io/jam/lever-up jam organized by @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social and @arcadecommons.org! Somehow ended up making a game about a stop motion-animated DIY knitted frog doing the wave.
