Andrey Surnov's concept work for Jusant in my brain again this morning. Can't think of a game set among ruins that made me more desperate to see more of its world. So few games manage such an original and rich aesthetic, so sad the team never got to make more.

Today is the one-year anniversary of the release of Unfair Flips!!! The game is not on sale today because I forgot. But also it's $1.99 anyways so a sale is mostly in the mind store.steampowered.com/app/3925760/...

A non-idle clicker game about flipping a coin that hates you. Starting with just a 20% chance of getting heads, can you get ten heads in a row?

Stack a Snack #pico8 game for #FallingBlockJam. I've added more animations, more sprites (gray bunny mouth and unmatch indicator, yay), heart on spit match, some hidden scoring stuff. Feels good! Now cover/label art. I want to make a fun one, dunno how yet. Have a pleasant day!

I'm kind of halfway sort of participating in #FallingBlockJam with a #pico8 game titled Stack a Snack! I want to get a few more things in, and quite happy with how the core plays!

A sprite layout a day keeps.. me happy! Added floor, and also thought hey, what if the blue rabbit cakes are blue? Feels and reads nice.

sprite layout with a white rabbit, a blue rabbit, and a bunch of cake! pink and blue cake! more cake!

Snuck in more sprites. This works ish, for now, it's a bit more information without going wild. I think? A few more sprites for the player bunny (gray one), and then it's coding time!

White bunny spitting cake into a blue bunny. Lots of cakes flying around. A cake mayhem! I think you need to steer the bunny and collect cake, and somehow give cake to blue bunny.

Joacim ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ @joacimeldre.com · 14/09/2026

More pico8 game layout progress! And a few sprite animations for the big blue rabbit. 🐰 What do you think, should the cake indicators (above blue rabbit) have other colors to indicate they're information? I'm currently yes on this, but would be good to hear more thoughts.

a gray and white rabbit and a blue and white rabbit, weird cake pieces flying across the screen to feed the blue rabbit, maybe its hungry?

Hehehehe! Tiny video game sprite progress. #pico8

Two rabbits, one tiny gray, one big blue, and a bunch of weird pancake looking cake things falling from the sky, and some on the head of the gray rabbit, one on the way into the mouth of the big blue. I wonder what this is. Outside the gray frame there's a big blue rabbit who chews.
