iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Corby Games Studio @acorbinelli.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Both step-by-step Undo as well as a complete restart are freely available of course :) It's a fun game that really can melt your brain in the more difficult and cyclic puzzles. Feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive, even though it's kind of hard to get people to actually try it.

Give Him a Break!: you hold the laser pointer and the cat wrecks the house - and with the BLUE LASER card, the beam does the breaking itself for five seconds. Free Windows demo on itch: corbygamesstudio.itch.io/give-him-a-break - the Steam page is in review, follow along for the Steam demo.

Game screenshot: a kitchen seen from above, a blue laser beam cutting across the room and a comic KOW! burst where it hits the shelves, with a BLUE LASER 4.2 s badge at the top and a receipt on the right.

...actually copying the experience, the vision and design cannot be done in an efficient way. Maybe that lesson can be used for other genres as well. Even if you mechanics and core are easy to mimic, add something that requires real work and you'll be safe from copycats. [2/2]

Puzzle games are niche. But also, coding the ruleset is the easy part. That makes puzzle games hard to copy, because understanding the vision and creating engaging levels is the art/craft needed. While AI or an experienced coder can mimic the base game easily... [1/2]

Still kind of sick. Hope to recover soon. I'm somewhere in between fine and death. About half a day in i start to lose energy and in the evening it's mostly gone. FML

Everything is slow recently, a severe lack of motivation and level ideas is dragging me down. Paired with the time i have left to complete the few remaining levels, i feel like i'm not stressed enough to actually perform.

eyesolated @eyesolateddev.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Another day, another level. Milestone reached - 90 of 100 Campaign levels done 🥳. This one is called "Triple Action". The two left parts are really easy, but the Jelly puzzle is kind of tricky.

000

eyesolated @eyesolateddev.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Here's an oddly satisfying loop showing some Jelly Cubes hopping in circles, preparing the way for each other. This type of cube is fun but challenging to plan around. Play the Demo and Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4759190/ youtube.com/shorts/-95Aj...

Whoa, I'm on fire today - yet another puzzle done. This one is "Cubes of Time" and clocks in at over 100 moves. Interestingly though, i find it a lot easier to solve than the one posted before.

000

eyesolated @eyesolateddev.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Another #puzzle done, this one is "Colorama". With a relatively small Move Count, this one is still very hard as you slowly progress towards your goal while keeping the grid in a state that allows the required moves. #indiedev #indiegame #steamgame #solodev

#MotivationMonday - stay strong in your real job before burying yourself in #GameDev again, people! And if #GameDev actually IS your real job, well... do it twice then ;)

We live in a world where meaningful #IndieGames made with love and heart struggle to gain visibility while even the clones of the stupidest of incremental games have hundreds of concurrent players. this world needs to end. we're beyond the point of no return it seems...

030

eyesolated @eyesolateddev.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Finally another level done. This one is called "Stairway to Heaven" and with the solution (that i found) requiring 82 moves, it's endgame material. Play the demo to prepare 🧠 store.steampowered.com/app/4759190/ #puzzlegame #steamgame #indiegame #solodev #indiedev

Notable exception: Entering the Advanced Preview section of the Demo.

eyesolated @eyesolateddev.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Today's stealth update changes Operator Feed behavior. Lots of players found it weird to interact with and didn't like the in-game popups. For that reason, it now shows directly after pressing start and then loads the level afterwards. After that, it doesn't force itself again.

Almost forgot #followfriday. It's time to promote things that should be followed into the weekend! Remember - bonus points for promoting an #indiedev / #indiegame that isn't yours!

Working on visual feedback on invalid moves in addition to sfx. What do you think? #indiedev #indiegame #puzzlegame #steamgame

eyesolated @eyesolateddev.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

People (including me) generally underestimate how hard it is to create a #puzzlegame. From idea to working prototype is like 10% of the way. Designing interesting and fun puzzles is the hard part, especially as a #solodev w/o external confirmation.

eyesolated @eyesolateddev.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Happy #ShowcaseThursday, do your thing, promote something that deserves it. Get bonus points if you promote something that's not yours. #IndieDev #IndieGame I'll showcase a CCC level that I love for some reason. That layout seems familiar...

Here's a track that I plan to include in Cubic Color Confusion. It's called "Dreamwalker" by ArtariBeatz. Do you like it? #indiegame #soundtrack #music #indiedev #steamgame

The recent update brings several improvements to the Task Selection screen. Before this update, this was just a bunch of buttons with obscure names on it. The update introduced descriptions and progress information for each section of the game. #IndieDev #IndieGame

well if there ever is an input device that is not keyboard, mouse, gamepad or touch i'll let you know how integration worked :)

000

The input is converted/interpreted before being passed on to the standard hub-methods handling whatever input is passed.

100

Not really, it's just another input method you have to care about. You're funneling all inputs through the same methods (where applicable, analog vs. digital is a special case, but even then you mostly interpret analog as digital), then it's only a matter of taking these inputs.

Another day, another level made. This one is called "The Wall". With a move count of 49, this one looks easier than it might actually be. How would you start? #PuzzleGame #IndieGame #SteamGame

eyesolated @eyesolateddev.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

And Cubic Color Confusion now has its own category on Kick as well. Thanks for adding it! #Streamers can now use the correct category on both Twitch and Kick. Let's go! If you're covering the demo and are interested in doing the full game, DM me! store.steampowered.com/app/4759190/

That emoji.... I don't even know if gamepad works there (i don't have one), but it should 👍

Software Engineers bragging about not using AI anywhere in their Workflow just brag about taking longer to achieve a near identical result. The difference in resulting code between an experienced Software Architect vs. a non-coder is day and night - just like it always was.

Anybody wanting to try the Cubic Color Confusion Demo on mobile can now do so using the web-build. Works on any browser, smartphones included. eyesolated.itch.io/cubic-color-... Don't forget to Wishlist on Steam afterwards: store.steampowered.com/app/4759190/ #IndieGame #Puzzlegame #IndieDev

that not wrong though. and earth exhibits that exact horizon, but it being way bigger than that virtual ball makes the effect less noticeable. the higher up on a mountain you look at the sea (covering maximum horizon), the easier it becomes to actually see the effect. so they presented proof :D

It's #ShowMeSunday. I'll take that literally, so I'll show you, Sunday! Feeling kind of grumpy and burnt out today as the last few days everything is kind of stale. No Demo plays, no new WL, as if CCC didn't even exist at all. I'm tempted to invoke #SwearingSunday

Still looking for more content creators willing to cover my demo/game. It's really hard to keep trying with the deafening silence screaming back at me. If you are reading this and are interested, please get in contact with me. #SoloDev #IndieGame #PuzzleGame #SteamGame

too bad i can't DM you to tell you about Cubic Color Confusion's distinctive color-cycle core mechanic that requires you to think different compared to other grid-based puzzle games to actually solve the challenges it throws at you. Never mind the killer soundtrack and minimalist aesthetic :)
