I played the #Wonderfall #demo, just because the artistic direction was looking cool. It evokes a lot of GameCube feeling, both in the 3D artstyle and gameplay-wise. The demo is short and a bit light on the gameplay side beside some simple platforming […] [Original post on mastodon.lertsenem.com]

Third person platformer, the player character stands in an old and crumbly Paris street. There are portions of walls missing, barricaded doors and shredded French flags hanging.

What do you mean, not even the traditional 10% launch discount? Is nothing sacred? Do you really need me to watch me go against all my core principles? 😢 #MinaTheHollower #videogames

Les typographes ont un humour fin et subtil, difficilement accessible au néophyte.

The demo of _A Fox Tale_ is nice, but it feels a bit too much as a wanabe _Celeste_ to my taste, while not having as good movements as its inspiration. Hopefully there are more new mechanics introduced in the full game to make it more distinct.

Première de couverture de la bande dessinée "Le Travailleur de la Nuit".

On y voit Alexandre Jacob habillé en costume noir , deout sur un toit parisien de nuit, regarder le spectateur d'un air sérieux, un pied de biche sur l'épaule.

_The Power_ by Naomi Alderman is extremely good, I'm pretty sure it will become a SF classic, and I'm kinda surprise it isn't already (or maybe it is and I just not in touch with what the classics are anymore). It takes place in our contemporary world […] [Original post on mastodon.lertsenem.com]

I made a small entry for the #GMTKjam #GMTK2025 ! lertsenem.itch.io/chain-loop The theme was "loop", so of course it's about strangling enemies to make them explode. Please try it out and tell me what you think !

Screenshot from the game. Top-down pixelart style. The player holds an dangling orange rope. Red-virus are around them.

I loved #TheElectrifyingIncident, and was mad you couldn't cheat the ending, until I realized you could! Excellent puzzle game anyway, with perfectly balanced difficulty and short enough to warrant multiple playthrough to find the second ending !

The Electrifying Incident "secret" alternative end screen (no spoilers though) : a block is lying on an hospital bed, next to the game's title.

# Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights Very good #metroivania. If you're familiar enough with the genre there's not much to surprise you here, but it's very solid stuff. Some gameplay nitpick: I missed some freeze frames to give hits more impact […] [Original post on mastodon.lertsenem.com]
