ratzikdev @ratzikdev.bsky.social · 9hTwo weeks since launch, quieter than I hoped. Then a player who finished it wrote "the best co-op puzzle game", harder than any co-op they'd played. That one keeps me going. If you played it, a Steam review helps more than you know 💛 store.steampowered.com/app/3849930?utm_source=bluesky 000
ratzikdev @ratzikdev.bsky.social · 29/09/2026A player spent 10 hours in Once Before Us with a partner, then left this: "The best puzzles for co-op playthroughs." - Steam player CraX That one line made my week 💛 store.steampowered.com/app/3849930?utm_source=bluesky #CoOpGame #IndieGame 175
ratzikdev @ratzikdev.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It still feels unreal that people are playing something I spent years making. Every chapter is its own world, and none can be solved alone. If there's someone you'd play it with, a repost would mean the world to me 💛 store.steampowered.com/app/3849930?utm_source=bluesky #CoOpGame #IndieGame 164

ratzikdev @ratzikdev.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Solo dev here. For years I dreamed of sharing a game I made, and now it's out. Still feels unreal.

ratzikdev @ratzikdev.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I launched my 2-player co-op puzzle game 8 days ago. Steam hides the review score until 10 reviews - we're at 1. Played Once Before Us with someone?

ratzikdev @ratzikdev.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Launching into a genuinely packed September for games. Funny timing, but I like the company - PC Gamer rounded up the month: www.pcgamer.com/games/pc-gam...pcgamer.comSeptember's schedule of new games, events, and updates refuses to let 2026 go down in history as a slow year for new releasesWell, the honor truly belongs to fall in general, but let's take this one month at a time. 000
ratzikdev @ratzikdev.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Spent this week on a puzzle that only works if both players stay quiet for a second. Sounds simple, but I had to redesign the hint system so it never interrupts that silence - the game had to learn when NOT to help. Small fix, weirdly satisfying. 000

ratzikdev @ratzikdev.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Hot take: forced separation puzzles (you go left, I go right, talk through walls) are the best trust exercise in game design. Nothing bonds two players faster than one of you being confidently wrong about what a lever does. What co-op puzzle mechanic can't you get enough of? 010
