Egg Goes Right is Game of the Day on the App Store (I think it's US only tho) If you played the original 20 levels, there are 60 more levels available now, and I'm really happy with how they turned out. Would be honoured if you gave them a spin 🫡

As well as screenshots and trailers, there’s a bunch of other improvements in v3, like being able to search for games by name (instead of pasting the URL), a Recent Games list in the search bar and an I’m Feeling Lucky button at the bottom. Please share and send any feedback via DM on here. Cheers!

I made the tool to help us to compare our Steam image assets to other games, so it was always a bummer that screenshots were not included because I needed a backend to do that rather than just client-side code. But now we have one and it has unlocked a lot of new features like this.

It’s always nice when you get Game of the Day in other places but there’s something about seeing it on your own phone. Game of the Day in Canada, today.

Sometimes, VERY OCCASIONALLY, as a game dev you get reviews which make you think “well that’s a bit much”

5 star App Store review for Egg Goes Right, reads

“Beautiful

Changed my life in ways I could have never anticipated, truly one of the finest works of art in modern age, a timeless masterpiece. I cannot recommend enough”

Apparently Egg Goes Right is game of the day on the App Store in the US! Can someone who is in the US kindly take a screenshot and send it to me, it’s not possible for me to see it from here. #indiedev #gamedev

In this clip I show how I made the robot's voice using FM synthesis, random LFOs and FM modulation (along with some judicious cherry-picking) to get some radio inspired robot chirrups. #indiedev #gamedev

Here's a clip where I'm talking about how I added visual cues to help the player to read depth intuitively for platforming, even though the camera in this game is fixed. #indiedev #gamedev

I also put an .apk up on itch for Android users, that's at just over 3k downloads. 3 people opted to pay for it, which shows you what we all know about the efficacy of tip jars, but thank you to those 3 people anyway! gamehole.itch.io/egg-goes-right

Reviews have been great! My games usually get a U shaped distribution - 1 star from people who nope out of the difficulty, and 5 stars from people who gel with it, but it seems more top-heavy than usual, which means, maybe I'm learning to make hard games more accessible?

Surprise game announce and droppage! Egg Goes Right is a silly little free mobile game (no ads, no IAP) - just an idea that I really wanted to make but couldn't quite justify making into a full game. It's inspired by Philipp Stollenmayer's games - Bacon, Pancake, Zip Zap etc. Download in thread👇

I've seen some corporate motivational BS in my time, but this is peak. Layers and layers. Can't stop looking. Words we like: "Clean your own coffee cup" "SENSIBLE RISK" Words we don't like: "Clockwatchers" "Fancy slides" "LUKEWARM CAPPUCINO"

The INEOS Compass. A big wheel of phrases that INEOS likes "wash your own coffee cup" and doesn't like "Fancy slides". A big layered onion of corporate hubris.

This goes for anyone else who wants me to bring it back - feel free to pirate and sideload Impossible Road on Android with my blessing.

Email reply to someone asking me to bring Impossible Road back to Android. Reply reads:

Hi <redacted>,

I’d love it to be on there too. But it simply isn’t worth it in today’s app stores - paid apps don’t sell any more.

Please feel free to pirate it and side load with my blessing :)

Hello all, can you let me know - does this design trigger trypophobia for you? It doesn't trigger mine, but I put it behind a "graphic media" label in case you don't want to chance it.
