the CRT scanline look isn't a filter slapped on at the end, it's baked into the cinematics. took a while to get it right without tanking performance. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #shmup #pizza #electriccrust

the outposts went dark one by one. Ace found out the same way everyone else did, the delivery orders just stopped coming in. #indiegame #shmup #retrogaming #pizza #electriccrust

chained multi-shot into rapid fire into a shield today and cleared a stage i usually die on. that combo's staying in my head. #indiedev #indiegame #shmup #pizza #electriccrust

combo counter climbing, health bar not. every boss fight is a negotiation. #indiegame #pixelart #shmup #pizza #electriccrust

touch controls took longer to get right than the shooting did. turns out 'feels good under a thumb' is its own entire discipline. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #shmup #pizza #electriccrust

October is going to be a big month for Electric Crust behind the scenes. If you haven't wishlisted yet, now's a good time to get in early. #indiegame #shmup #shootemup #pizza #electriccrust

the Federation keeps offering Ace a rank. she keeps turning it down. it's not a redemption arc if you say no. #indiegame #shmup #retrogaming #pizza #electriccrust

fifteen stages, four boss tiers, and i'm still finding new ways for tier four to make me scratch my head during testing. #indiedev #indiegame #shmup #pizza #electriccrust

Yeahhhhh, mostly around the top row scrunching text on iPad ratio. Been working through that this weekend. Mostly there, I think with getting that worked out!

warp mode engaged. this is the part of the run where the screen stops being polite. #indiegame #pixelart #shmup #pizza #electriccrust

Charles @electriccrust.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

tested on real iOS hardware for the first time this week. iPad mini and iPhone both running the full campaign now, start to finish. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #shmup #pizza #electriccrust

Still building toward launch. If Electric Crust looks like your kind of retro shooter, a wishlist genuinely helps. Costs nothing, takes five seconds. #indiegame #shmup #shootemup #pizza #electriccrust

Chef Rex never stops radioing in during a delivery. somehow that's more stressful than the actual enemy fleet. #indiegame #shmup #retrogaming #pizza #electriccrust

Charles @electriccrust.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

small fix this week: the fire button and joystick finally sit at the same visual height on iPhone. tiny detail, bugged me for days. #indiedev #indiegame #shmup #pizza #electriccrust

If the trailer got you even a little curious, wishlisting costs nothing and genuinely helps a solo project get seen. Link in bio. #indiegame #shmup #shootemup #pizza #electriccrust

ace didn't sign up to be a hero. she signed up to deliver pizza for Chef Rex. the Federation keeps forgetting that part. #indiegame #shmup #retrogaming #pizza #electriccrust

Spent today deep in bug fixes for Electric Crust. Traced a stubborn touch issue on iPhone all the way down to how the Dynamic Island reserves screen space, and found the game's own ending screen had been missing its background image the whole time. #electriccrust #gamedev #indiedev #pizza

Charles @electriccrust.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Sitting in line waiting to drop the kiddos off at school. I worked on some UI updates around the Dynamic Island during my iPhone testing last night. Definitely not something that crossed my mind during this endeavor. Cool learning experience! #gamedev #indiedev #electriccrust #gametesting #yehaw

Electric Crust is running on real iOS hardware for the first time. iPhone and iPad, both playable end to end. Found a good one along the way: the opening flight sequence was rendering at half framerate on iOS. Fixed and verified on device. #electriccrust #pizza #indiedev #gamedev
