#screenshotsaturday is back with more to show! Here's an enemy that creates shockwaves #gamedev #indiedev #fps

Concept art of a white macaron-shaped enemy. It has six pink buglike legs, a hot pink X on the top, angry eyes, and a bright green middle section that glows with some kind of energy. A series of drawings show it jumping and landing before emitting a green pulse

A cleaned up turnaround of the character from the previous image with front, side, and top views.

Wow! New game! And it's free! Check out Nutboy Survives on itch 🌰 #gamejam #itch.io #indiegame #indiedev

Text: Nutboy Survives Image: Pixel art. The text is overlaid on a pixel art squirrel that's perched on the trunk of a tree. Decorative leaves and an acorn surround the title.

A screenshot of the game. A 3D environment with pixel art UI that looks like branches. A squirrel is running around in the grass, and the colors evoke fall.

Another screenshot of the game, taken from a higher vantage point. The squirrel is up a tree.

I think this is my favorite bit of art I've done for the game #gamejam #indiegame #itch.io #indiedev @rattusrattusart.bsky.social

Pixel art of a squirrel inside a tree. You can see snow falling outside, and the squirrel is curled up cutely and hugging an acorn. Various other nuts are in the foreground. Text: You survived!
