I recently created the promotional art for @jamierowan.bsky.social indie game! Called Lelu, it's about a little toy going through many challenges and secrets in a toy factory! #gameart

Promotional art I created for the game Lelu.

The illustration depicts Lelu, a toy resembling a little duck with a spherical body and a wind-up key on its head, holding a screwdriver. He is fleeing from a horde of enemies right behind him, all of which are toys of various kinds, such as a mole that throws rocks, a monkey with plates, a small mouse, a snake with a spherical body, a gachapon robot, and a large, menacing king right behind them.

The setting is the interior of an apparently abandoned toy factory, with a metal floor, spikes, and dirt with small weeds. There are cranes in the background and a glass roof through which sunlight illuminates the scene. The artwork is in monochromatic shades of black, white, and gray, with a texture of small dots reminiscent of comic book printing.

Like I said yesterday, you are DEFINITELY better off just downloading it from Steam and playing it yourself. This is my gameplay of it, in case you can't or don't wanna. #lelu #demo 🕹️ #game #live #retro #love #art #gamedev #IndieGame #promosky 🎮 💙☁️ 💙📚 #pixelart #adventure youtu.be/CzgT0TWw50g?...

One of the main mechanics of Lelu actually came about by accident - and lots of playtesting - the perfect charge parry/reflect (not sure what else to name it) #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart
