The storm keeps shrinking while the enemies keep coming. Would you stand your ground or make a run for it? 🎮 SplitHoppers linktr.ee/hootonheroics #SplitHoppers #gamedev #roguelike #gaming #indiegame

Meet Lockjaw 🦷 This new enemy doesn't just chase you, it lunges in for a brutal chomp. One bad dodge and your run could be over. Can you survive the bite? #SplitHoppers #IndieGame #Roguelike #GameDev #IndieDev

I think we may have spawned... too many enemies. 😅 Still survived somehow. #gamedev #indiegame #SplitHoppers

We've been experimenting with a turn-based integration for SplitHoppers. #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike #survivorslike #turnbased #indiedev #gaming

The new Fish skin is finally in SplitHoppers 🐟 Sturdy constitution, risky dodges, and absolute swarm chaos. This one feels WAY different to play. Wishlist/follow 👇 linktr.ee/hootonheroics #SplitHoppers #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #survivorslike #pixelart #gaming #indiegamedev

Mission failed… but every run makes you stronger. In SplitHoppers, one more attempt can turn defeat into an unstoppable build. 💛🎮 #SplitHoppers #Roguelike #IndieGame

You can catch rare Hoppers during a run in SplitHoppers. But catching them is only half the challenge; you still have to survive the gauntlet phase to keep them. ⚔️🔥 #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike

Testing a new Stampede feature in SplitHoppers 🐇 A herd of hoppers suddenly charges across the screen and you’ve got seconds to dodge or get wiped out. #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #Roguelike #SurvivorsLike

I'm not sleeping, I can't sleep; even if I did sleep, I'd continue doing the same things. It's like I've turned into a different version of myself. #BecaEcosystem #PhantomHarmony #CharacterDesign #Python #ATProto #BuildInPublic #DeepWork #CreativeCoding #DevLife #VisualArt #Automation #JarvisProject

Who gave the goose a plasma whip…? 💀 Ultra Chain + Swarms + Chaos mechanics = screen-clearing madness... This SplitHoppers run escalated fast. The new plasma whip weapon is insane. Shall we nerf it? #indiegame #gaming #gamedev

Striking the balance between performance and beauty is one of the hardest parts of game dev. Too much optimization can make things lifeless. Too much polish leads to poor performance. Great games maximize perceived quality. #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #gamedevelopment
