Puzzles get more difficult throughout the week (10x10 -> 12x12 -> 15x15). If one day's puzzle is too difficult/easy for you, check out the archive!

The Super Mario 64 source code lists names for Mario's footstep sounds. The list starts off normal but becomes poetic with names like "Footsteps in the Fallen Leaves" and "More Than Anyone Else in the World". It turns out the names are actually taken from a 1994 dating simulator.

Need to see more indie RPGs just outright steal the Undertale bullet-hell combat system. It's the smartest way to do real-time combat in a turn-based game. I've been toying with substitutes for years and seen many other RPGs create analogs but none of them work as well.

Formless Star is out now! Travel to a mysterious ever-changing planet and gather data on the animals that live there. There's 60 different creatures to find, all with unique behaviours and descriptions! Get the game for free (or pay what you want) here! splendidland.itch.io/formless-star

"formless star", clay models of characters with various propellers on their heads are stood in a row in front of a starry background.

Anemo, a red character with a big orange nose and a green anemometer on their head is stood in front of their spaceship.

Finding the animal "Lighthorse", which looks like a lighthouse with legs, and a head made out of transparent cones of light.
"Stands at the coastline to act as a beacon, however it has difficulty discerning a puddle from an ocean. said to be proud of its red stripes."

Inside the spaceship, the character Turbine, who is green and has buck teeth, is saying "They say if you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life. Seems I may be the only worker here."

Very confusing article, they pronounce the X in their own videos. This is framed as an interview or something with Riot staff, but it just seems to be an internal conversation within Aftermath where both people are wrong.
