game design 101: if your level can be depicted as an animal (or its ghost), this is a good level

If I had only 10 seconds to show my combat... well, I definitely wouldn't do it right. Because Wordsword is a word game, which happened to have some combat in it. It's also a tower defense. Somehow. #indiegames #gamedev #mobilegame

#PitchYaGame wordsword is a puzzle game about word transformations. it's also a tower defense, somehow. transform words, light up combos, gain scores, and fight off pesky Oomas. they are evil and steal keys from your keyboard.

wholesome news from the dead river: fish bones help each other overcome their fears (which are blocks of the same color as them) 🥰 #gamedev #javascript

When I was working on Desperatea, I came up with an idea for secret levels: special tiles that make entities ignore player's Undo action. These levels were scrapped from the final game, but now I'm toying with this idea for my new puzzler! #indiedev #puzzle #gamedev
